Title: Job Market In Your Area?
Post by: robin1128 on April 21, 2012, 11:27:20 am: How is the job market in you area? Here not so good. You do see alot of WANTED sign but you go in and ask about the job you have to go home and fill it out on line. Then if you are lucky they call you in for a interview and tell you they will call you back in a few days and never do.

Also--I drive by the state job center (read: unemployment office) every day on my way to work--and I don't see as many cars there as I used to. I know that isn't very scientific, but it is encouraging.

Alot of two income households are finding that they need to become 3 income households in order to survive (a second job for one of the income earners). When you have kids that really sucks, because you never get to see them. I worked in North Dakota in the oil fields (driving a semi hauling water) for about 6 months last year. the pay was great (I made between 2-4 thousand every week I was there), but I didn't have benefits, and I was only home for a week out of every five. I have since found a good job (a lot less pay) back home, and now my wife is going on interviews trying to get a higher paying job than she has right now---I think everyone can get a job, it just depends on whether or not they want to do that job for that pay.

The economy is getting better it's a little slow moving though. It's happening, if only it could move a little faster. :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:
