Are you waiting for the economy to recover to find a job?

At the beginning of each month the Department of Labor puts out the statistics on how the employment picture is looking. For the past couple of years those numbers have been quite discouraging and really there isn’t any indication that they will get better in the near future. One thing to keep in mind when you see the unemployment rate and how many jobs are lost, is that it is just estimation. The government has a formula to calculate what they think is the unemployment rate. In other words it is an educated guess. One thing that they can’t guess is how many people quit looking for work. In this economy it seems that many folks have quit and will probably resume looking when the economy recovers.




It certainly is understandable that so many folks have quit looking for work. Times are hard right now; this recession belongs in a league of its own. But should you quit looking entirely? Maybe instead of just quit looking for work, give yourself some time to reorganize and rethink how you are going about your job search. If you wait for the economy to get better you probably are in for a long wait. It’s better to keep trying and keep learning as much as you can about job hunting and how to find employment in this economy.



Keep trying. You will find a job.
