Employment in the news

Posted on November 6, 2009 by Christine

There were a couple of interesting articles in the WSJ last week regarding employment. One highlighted that federal jobs were easy to spot but hard to get. Since there have been many federal jobs posted here, I thought the update might be timely. However, I also think I serve as an example that is it possible to get a federal job.

The WSJ also featured an article regarding the unexpected difficulties of returning to work after being laid off. Personally, I feel so lucky to be back at work. However, there have been some adjustments in moving to a new city and giving up some of my “leisure” time. What I miss most of all? Going grocery shopping in the middle of the day.
