Comparison Between Government and Private Sector Job Markets!
State and local governments have expanded their payrolls and added 110,000 jobs whereas the private sector has cut 6.9 million jobs since the start of the recession, according to a report issued Thursday by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government.
This report was based on an analysis of federal jobs data, found out that state and local governments steadily added jobs for eight months after the recession started in December 2007, with their employment peaking last August. They have since lost 55,000 jobs, but from the commencement of the recession till last month they added a net of 110,000 jobs, the report revealed, partially due to the federal stimulus program.
Government jobs are always more stable as compared to the private sector jobs during downturns, but their ability to acclimate the current deep recession startled Donald J. Boyd, the senior fellow at the institute who wrote the report.
“I am a little surprised at the fact that state and local government has remained as stable as it has in the nation as a whole, given the depth of the current recession,” Mr. Boyd stated in an interview. Read the rest of this entry

Getting Started With Health Job Hunt – Worthy Lessons!
Hundreds of health care job hunters lined up at a River Rouge employment fair organized on Tuesday, only to find out many of the 1,400 positions marked as available for people with more training and clinical job skills than they had.
The lesson: If you wish to get an immediate entry-level job in health care, aim at searching for jobs on a daily basis as they may be the toughest to get, as thousands of job-seekers flood the market.
In order to get better-paying jobs, ranging from medical billing clerks and surgical technicians to physical therapists and registered nurses, you have to be up and ready to return to school and most people will even have to pay for it themselves, unless they come from an industry where they lost their jobs out of foreign competition and qualify for federal help.

Boston-Area Tech Layoff Tracker Slows: Is The Worst of Recession Over Yet?
If you’re one of those fortunate people who are gainfully employed, you may have joined the droves of other Boston-area innovators who have headed for the Cape, the White Mountains, or another summertime retreat in recent months. Or perhaps you’ve been busy looking for your next career challenge. Either way, with Labour Day fast approaching, we thought it’d be useful to tie together labour trends and some of the larger layoffs that have occurred at technology and life sciences firms in New England since Memorial Day.

Perhaps this is another sign that the worst of this economic recession has left us. Since June 1, we’ve seen that Massachusetts-based life sciences and tech firms announced a total of 718 jobs would be cut in their organizations.
