Are Jobless Claims Peaking?

Jobless claims have historically peaked six to 10 weeks before recessions end, according to a report by Goldman Sachs. http://bit.ly/O5dSv "But the latest report shows job losses remain high. The four-week average of claims, which smoothes out volatility, dropped slightly to 646,750, about 12,000 below the peak in early April. Goldman Sachs economists have said a decline of 30,000 to 40,000 in the four-week average is needed to signal a peak."

For survival, many people take whatever job they can get. It's a good strategy to pay the rent. But for true job security, it's important to find the ideal job for you right now -- a traditional job or entrepreneurial position that considers your needs for income, opportunity, creativity, feasibility, flexibility, stability and longevity.

Imagine if there was a scoring model that could help you create the ideal job for you this month. There is. It's called the Green Light Scoring Model and it's available through The Graduate Group. www.graduategroup.com For only $30, including tax and shipping, you can truly discover the ideal job for you right now.

Thank you Debra, as a student new to the field it is good to have any resource I can. I follow your blog and your Twitter as well and enjoy reading them. I will be sure if I need any specific info to either twit it your way or blog about it at my blog and twit a link. I think what you do by speaking to us students is a great thing, I know I often get down and just attending a seminar such as yours helps me to get back on track. I wish you a very happy memorial day.
