How Local Employment Dynamics Can Help You

Jun 12, 2011 |  

What do you do with your Sunday night? I look at labor statistics. You can tell a lot about a place by what the top 10 largest industries are, which ones are hiring and where the growth is. It's good technique for Employers, Recruiters and Job Seekers to do this kind of research. Sure, reading is fundamental... but labor statistics are fun.…

Jan 23, 2011 | 3

I belong to the LinkedIn group PROS in Workforce and Economic Development, closed to industry professionals. I really enjoy some of the dynamic conversations and resources that are shared among members.

My Challenge to You

May 19, 2010 | 4

When I think back to high school I don't think of myself as an awkward teenager - though I had no idea of a career I would be interested in except archeology. My father would get angry with me and tell me that unless I planned on moving to Africa I would end up in a fast food joint - that I needed to study something that was in demand or I would starve.…
