In my industry, we are severely understaffed. There are many vacant spots, and lots of work that needs to be done, but too few qualified applicants or job seekers out there. As a result, we (current employees) take on the extra load and get ridiculous amounts of overtime, if we so chose to.
And there is pretty much guaranteed work at this pace for the next decade here.
So on my end, yes, the job market is beyond excellent. I cannot complain.
Bingo. Someone posted above and said their company has a lot of vacancies and not enough skilled workers - why doesn't that company train someone then!?
Most idiotic thing I've read in weeks. I don't know anyone, even Obama supporters, who would refer to the job market as an "unstoppable freight train."
The US economy has created a million new jobs in the last three months, half of them high paying skilled positions. Companies concerned with employee retention have also started handing out raises again. This is a great time to be job hunting.
