Improving Job Scene Prediction
Improving Job Scene Prediction: I usually keep my predictions to myself. But research indicates the job scene is improving. The upcoming jobs report next Friday, June 4th is likely to show 330,00 or more new jobs. While that is very good news (if my prediction is close to accurate) its not yet time to celebrate. There are still many unemployed for every good job. About 5.4 million people continue to collect benefits under emergency and extended benefit programs which start after 26 weeks of unemployment and the average duration of unemployment is 33.0 weeks. But at this point, we need to welcome the light at the end of the tunnel because its probably not a train coming in our direction.
At this juncture business and governments are re-evaluating how they are operating in this changed economic climate. I expect them to develop new and more successful strategies that addresses the more conservative financial world they find themselves in. Sound judgment and basic principles by workers is not a quick fix but a long journey we need to take one step at a time. So everyone, employed or not, should prepare a career plan that sets realistic and attainable goals. Enjoy the Memorial Day holiday and try do something nice for a military veteran!
