Now to today's topic: "How is the job market?"
I get this question a lot. People want to know how tough it is out there to find a new job. The simple answer is: It's a great job market! It all depends what kind of job you are looking for. Here is some recent data on the actual job market statistics.
Employment Situation Summary: The Bureau of Labor Statics said in early April that unemployment is unchanged at 4.4% and payrolls were up by 180,000 workers while earnings were slightly down. What does this mean? Unemployment is still low, more people continue to get new jobs and earnings are status quo.
The BLS also concluded that jobs were up in retail, construction and healthcare while manufacturing continues to decline. This reinforces that healthcare jobs are going to keep booming for a while and our migration to a predominantly service economy will continue its course.
So what does this really mean? People who are searching for a new job are more likely to find new opportunities in their field. US companies continue to grow, especially in foreign markets, the job market is good and if you have great skills you should have nice job prospects.
Daily insight: Check out healthcare jobs and jobs with an international focus. Baby boomers are starting to flood the US plus China will out pace us in a few years as a world dominator. Learning Mandarin Chinese is all the rage!
