It's a surprisingly difficult question to answer. For the folks who track such things, the press release answer always seems to be an unqualified yes. But the fact is it's not. Yes, more MBAs are getting hired these days, and they're still getting a pretty penny. So why the gloom and doom? For one thing, salaries are stagnant, and have been for four years-ever since the economy tanked in 2008. What's more, students who went to B-school dreaming of careers in finance and consulting got something else instead: jobs in manufacturing and health care. I don't know when or if this trend will reverse itself, but one thing seems certain, at least to me: the market for MBA talent isn't what it used to be.
