Employment

I know its bad in michigan still

I heard that the unemployment rate is down, but millions of people are still out of work or have given up looking for work.

Is the employment rate up or down from last year in your area?

Just moved here about a year ago from Utah and now just finally got a job. I don't know how employment was about a year ago but i can surely say it's not going up. It is very difficult to find any jobs anywhere in the states anymore. If you have BA degree good luck to ya. You have a masters, I would say you have a better chance. Businesses are hiring you due to your educational background and at least 3 years minimum on the job. Government jobs are even tougher!

As many people I see come in and apply I think it is going down, I haven't had as many applicants this year

[dwiley11]

of course down

I'm pretty sure the nationwide employment rate is up so I'd assume that the employment rate is up in new york city. I think it's easy to get a menial job but I think for someone my age to get an actual career is like impossible.

A lot of businesses here are desperate for good workers.  I wish some of the unemployed who are sincere about looking for work would move to our area.

Where do you live? I'm looking to move to another state!

Not sure but i think it's higher than last year.

I don't know about other places, but here employment rate is down.  Hope will get better pretty soon.

In my place, it's going up.

[pmalone41]

I do believe it is down just slightly here in Phoenix

[cathy37]

I would say that it is probably up.  Several businesses are closing including the one where I worked.  I worked at the local bowling alley for 13 years and it is now closing.  Also the Claire's store closed and now I hear that Blockbusters is closing.

Unemployment numbers are supposedly down based on the news, but the numbers are probably stil obscured on people who are either giving up or getting temporary work. I still hear constantly from other people of knowing people who are having issues finding work.
