The graduate recruitment market has been shown to be "holding up", as an overall 12.2 per cent increase in post-university recruits has been predicted by an Incomes Data Services poll.
However, there are concerns that current financial conditions could mean that the industry is liable to "tip downwards" in the future.
Editor of the report Steve Tatton said: "It is evident that the graduate labour market is holding up, but it is fragile at present and a bad turn in the economy could easily tip what currently seems to be a modest jobs boom into a jobs bust."
It was signalled that financial companies could be recruiting 15 per cent fewer graduates in 2008, although the manufacturing industry is looking to take on 31.7 per cent more.
A survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development and KPMG has shown that 37 per cent of businesses making cuts of ten or fewer employees this year.
