Jun 03, 2004 -- Upturn in job market means it's time to hunt again

From time to time, Clark has sounded sort of Pollyanna when it comes to the job market. Some people have told him he gives people false hope and should not be encouraging when things are really so bleak. But he doesn’t think that is the case. He likes to see the silver lining and to share that with people who sometimes think things aren’t going to get better. The good news is that the sky is much more sunny now, based on recent actions of top company executives. In recent surveys of CEOs, 96 percent said they expect sales to increase or remain the same. About 93 percent expect capital spending to increase. In other words, almost no one in corporate America expects things to turn the other way in the job market. The Business Roundtable, a group of corporation lobbyists, has upgraded its index as to how well the economy is doing from a 52 two years ago to a 96 today. So, there is a clear difference. If you’ve been settling for less in the job market over the past two years because of the job market, it may be time to start searching for greener pastures again. You may face rejection, but it's a great time to be networking.
