We have heard good employment news
lately. The unemployment rate in US
continues to decline, and there are numerous advertisements for open
positions. What will be the result of
jobs being filled and a reduction in the unemployed? At North Dallas Shared Ministries where I do
counseling each week, the number of individuals seeking a job is declining.
I would think that we will be seeing
increases in pay rates with or without a raise in the minimum. Higher wages typically require great skills
among competing job seekers.
What is the message to the yet unemployed? I think that you should make every effort to
increase your skill set. For many, it is
essential that you obtain a GED or high school certificate. Further is critical that you increase your
technical skills because many job openings require computer and other such
skills. Further, it is important to
obtain proficiency in the English language.
What is your advice for the
job seekers? Please share your feelings with readers of this blog by posting a
comment or emailing at mailto:glynjordan@gmail.com.
Thanks!
Glyn
