Food safety concerns create jobs

January 24, 2000 By admin

All the concern about the safety of food is proving to be good news for agriculture students at Iowa State University. With growing worries about e-coli bacteria, chemicals and other things that can taint our food supply, there’s a constant need for proffessionals to deal with those concerns. Mike Gaul is the director of agriculture career services at I-S-U. He sees a lot of employment opportunities in the food field for I-S-U grads. Gaul says the food-related job openings are all across the country. He says the demand has led to a pretty good starting salary range for grads.Starting salaries range from 25 to 35-thousand dollars a year. In some cases Gaul says students are earning 40 to 45-thousand dollars in their first year. Gaul says it’s a good field to look into.A study by the U-S-D-A and Purdue University predicts the demand for these type of jobs will be strong for the next five years.
