14 million people are without jobs. Imagine everyone in NYC, Chicago,
Philadelphia, and Dallas without a job. That’s almost 14 million. I
mention this because the tone of the news regarding employment has
improved since the beginning of fall 2010. It’s almost like we’ve been
on this long road trip and we can finally see the skyscrapers in the
distance. There’s miles to go, but hope is in sight.
I mentioned a few posts ago about the value of the A employee.
I said they are changing the dynamics of the job market and I praised
them. But I can’t pin them down. Sometimes they are the 35 year veteran
and other times they are the 35 year old hitting their stride. Youth
often prevails and so does being a woman. You just never know.
Anne Fisher over to Fortune.com highlighted a great resource for seeing who’s hiring called A Real-Time Look at Who’s Hiring and Where. Vault.com has a tool called Vault Employment Tracker. It’s a simple database organizing all the job announcements.
