I have a 25 year old and a 19 year old living at home with little to no prospects.Why is that? Do they have educations? Are they too fussy? Are there NO jobs of any kind in your vicinity?
I just popped into
Career Builder, put in my ZIP code and found well over 500 local openings.
Then I went to the
NY Job Bank and found over 500 openings in my area.
In my 35+ years of working, I was laid off three times and it was a full time job getting hired again.
Sorry...don't count on Career Builder or any online job site for a picture of the current market.
80% of those postings are generated by search firms and temp agencies to grow their "inventory" of applicants.
I worked at a staffing agency for two years, and it was an eye-opener.
Doesn't mean that there aren't job openings to be had. Looking for a job is full time work, and you're much more valuable to another company when you're already working.
