The Economy is Restructuring: People Must Explore Alternatives

Job seekers must face reality fast. The economic forecast is projected to be a “jobless recovery.” Don’t misunderstand, jobs will be created, and people will go back to work. However, the pace of job creation is expected to be anemic, taking in excess of five years to reach the pre-crash level of employment. The young and inexperienced, and unskilled job seekers, will have a more difficult time of it. But so will the baby-boomers! People with skills and experience should understand that they have options beyond traditional employment. These folks must expand their scope to pursue alternatives.

This is not a typical recession.  The Economy has been quietly restructuring and the recession has accelerated the pace.  We are moving into a New Normal.
