Unemployment rates ... beyond a numbers game
The Fox Business story on unemployment rates continuing to rise is more than just a numbers issue. Go ahead and you wont see anything earth shattering or brilliantly insightful in the kinds of numbers economists have cited to make their point. I could say it in fewer words: less jobs, more people.
How about we begin to fix it where we can most easily begin to turnaround things? For organizations that need to fill in new positions, how about giving them a more efficient and effective way to target and identify the most suitably opportunity seekers ... instead of wading through a sea of resumes submitted through job boards.
You have heard me say this before. It is time to Ikembu. But while you wait for the launch, keep your spirits up. These numbers economists throw out come from the "dismal science". Yes, that moniker was given to "economics" a while ago. Some say, deservedly so. Quit looking at those numbers. You need one job. Ok, maybe two to support your family. Why worry about the other 9,699,000? Right? Go ahead and find that one opportunity.
This is more than just a numbers game. Its about your confidence. Keep your confidence up. Soon, we shall Ikembu together. Until then, keep smiling. Stay in the game!
