Graduates who hold a master's degree will find an encouraging job market in 2012, new research shows. According to the Graduate Management Admission Council, nearly three-quarters of businesses plan to hire MBAs, up from 58 percent in 2011.

In addition, the percentage of companies expecting to increase the number of positions available for new management graduates was the greatest for those with an MBA.

Signs are also positive for those with other types of graduate degrees. The study found that 59 percent of businesses are expecting to hire job candidates with a specialized master's degree, up from 38 percent last year, and 51 percent are looking to add master's in management candidates, up from 36 percent a year.
