Corporations around the world say they will hire considerably more MBAs in 2015 than they have in any single year since 2003, according to projections by the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers the GMAT. In its annual survey of corporate recruiters, GMAC found that 84 percent of companies globally say they will hire people with master’s of business degrees, up from 74 percent that brought on new MBAs last year. The jump is the largest year-over-year rise in projected MBA hiring since 2011.
