There should be a lot more job openings for the college class of 2018, but starting salaries won't be much higher than last year. Graduates with a bachelor's degree can expect to earn an average of $50,390 annually in their first jobs, according to a new survey by consulting firm Korn Ferry, little changed from the previous year. "With the 2018 US inflation rate hovering just over 2%, real wages for this year's grads are virtually flat," said Maryam Morse, Korn Ferry Senior Client Partner. For example, the survey found that average pay for entry-level software developers is $67,236, while customer service reps start at just $35,360. Here are the average starting salaries in 10 major US cities.
