The Business World; a look at employment

Unemployment rates are higher than they have been in a long time. Massive corporations moving out of the US to foreign countries for cheaper labor. Education is becoming available to more and more people and the opportunities for uneducated people are diminishing. The world of business is changing, global economics, holding companies and more and more people join the targeted commercial masses each day. So here are some thoughts on this, accompanied with other information, like best jobs of 2010 and needed skills to keep your cutting edge in our expanding world.

The market is global now, manufacturing in the united states is history and i do not think those jobs will come back until there is incentive to do so. As it currently stands it is WAY cheaper to operate outside of the US and import in, so if a job can be exported, why wouldn't it?

Education is available to a much wider variety of people than it was even just 20 years ago, community colleges, trade schools, specialized institutions offer quick and simple courses that lead to certificates or degrees in almost anything you want. The path to fiscal freedom is no longer a 2 lane highway, its a paved speedway and if you dont keep up to speed your going to get stuck in the traffic jam.
As for best jobs in 2010, i did some research and found articles online. In general, anything professional will secure you. Find something that people will always need, and you will find yourself secure.

  8. Im still under the impression that if someone is unable to get a job doing something, it is their fault. It may sound mean, but it is pretty much true since their actions decided how good of an employee they seem to be. you know, like get a good education in a USEFUL field.
