Jun 01, 2004 -- Where the jobs are...

With the tough environment for jobs right now, there has been a big move in magazines and newspapers to talk about where the jobs are. This includes where geographically and in what fields. In addition, statistics are out about the fact that the number of people being laid off is lower than it has been in three years. In talking with people who have lost jobs, Clark has often heard them ask where to find opportunities. According to the Wall Street Journal, Internet employers are hiring again as is Wall Street. So people in tech jobs and in investing may have opportunity again. The health care sector also continues to be an area of growth. If you are looking for a career change, nurses are in very high demand. There is a gaping hole in our health care system that you can help fill while making a nice living. Real estate and education are also hot career fields with all kinds of positions available. Certain areas of the country are also hopping with jobs. Southwest Florida, specifically Lee County and Collier County, is one of them. Northern Virginia and Las Vegas are also magnets for employment. Notice a trend? Except for Virginia, there is a steady migration to locations with warm climates. According to Business Week, construction, restaurant jobs and temporary help firms are also hot with jobs.
Speaking of job generators, eBay is an entity all its own. Half a million Americans earn their living selling goods on eBay. That’s huge. New training, new skills and some gumption to try something new can all lead to great opportunities.
