Looking For Work ?

According to Barron’s, as of February, 2012:

  • There were 12 million 806 thousand unemployed people in America.
  • There were 4 million 423 thousand Help Wanted Ads published.
  • That is one ad for almost every three people looking for employment.

This is called a recovery ?

Some say job seekers should rely on networking to find employment. Sounds like a lot of phone calls to old contacts, doesn’t it ? After all, how many phone numbers do you actually have in your address book whose owner may know of a job opening ?
