Morning all,

Today I awakened to a great post by Maureen Sharib entitled Companies Not Hiring, Workers Not Looking As Economy Falters.   It alerts us to the original article by John Zappe, to wit:

…The ranks of passive jobseekers are growing as workers decide now is not the time to look for a new job.  Many, in fact, are considering taking classes to improve their job prospects, while 41 percent told pollsters they intend to stay in their present job until they retire. Another 38 percent said they expected to hold onto their current job for at least another year.

Wise decisions, considering that only 23 percent of the companies surveyed intend to add full time workers in the next three months….MORE….

Powerful stuff, definitely a must read!

The above professionals aren’t the only ones writing about the economy – you can also check out these two insightful articles:

• 3 Things to learn from the crashing careers of the super-rich
• Hindsight Is Expensive: Cause & Effect In Perspective of Wall Street Collapse

Let’s now bring this post back to the most important person reading it….YOU!

Are you involved in "business as usual"?

Or are you taking great care to revisit your future plans…and create contingency directions should the economy crash and your job orders dry up?

• From where will you derive your future income?
  
• How will you protect your candidates?
  
• How will you protect your clients?
  
• How, especially, will you protect your family?

Hmmmmmm?

Stay tuned to this blog…I’ll be answering the questions as the week continues.

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling
