I found a great work at home gig at http://www.gomatador.com . They are a work at home job search site. I highly recommend gomatador.com if you are thinking about making extra money or working from home.

I always think that every time a worker is laid off you in effect lay off a consumer!
So all these thousands no millions of people laid off is going to affect consumption which means more stimulus money being thrown at the problem.
This is a downward spiral and the only way out of it is for companies to start hiring again otherwise they are digging there own grave fast!

Several, non-government-biased economists say those unemployment numbers are skewed. They’re skewed in the sense that there are many more millions of American workers who have had to take significant cuts in pay for entry-level jobs to make ends meet. There are as many, or more, people who qualify as underemployed. I worked for a very large national retailer and we’ve been hiring engineers, and even people with MBAs to sell…footwear! These people don’t qualify for unemployment benefits and are not “unemployed” per se, but present a real problem when thrown into the mix of just how dismal the job market is.

Thanks for the article.

I agree with sheppardcs! I have been an admininstrative assistant for 30 years. The highest salary I have ever made has been half of what is listed in the article. I think maybe you need to do more research on what salaries are really being paid.

What a crock! I am an Admin Assistant and I do NOT make anywhere near the posted salary. Get with the program and check the real world where employers will not/do not pay those amounts. They use the economy as an excuse to get the same amount of work at 1/3 the salary.
