Today, American Idol‘s Randy Jackson turns 53.

Why do I tell you this? Because it’s something to help you spark a little conversation with a co-worker before the day ends. We’re all about making human connections here at The Work Buzz.

Meanwhile, the week continues to churn along and plenty of work-related news is taking place around the country (and the globe). Here are more interesting and relevant topics for your reading pleasure this fine Tuesday:

We’re apparently in for some more tough times…but that’s not all that surprising.
Obama: unemployment will likely hit double digits
It might sound like an absurd tactic, but plenty of older job seekers are worried about competing with younger applicants.

Tech is one of the better industries, but it’s still struggling in some parts of the country.
Tech market still tough for job seekers
I’ve always dislike Daylight Savings Time, and now I can say it’s for health reasons.

And just for jollies, a retro article from The Onion.

See you tomorrow…dawgs.

About Anthony Balderrama

Anthony Balderrama writes about hiring trends, workplace issues and job search tactics for CareerBuilder.com and its blog The Work Buzz. He was born and raised in Dallas (115° degrees isn’t hot!) before moving to Chicago (-23° isn’t cold!). He studied creative writing, therefore everything he writes is usually cut in half once he realizes he spent 400 words just on the intro. He knows that looking for a job and dealing with co-workers are not always fun activities, and reading about them is even less thrilling. That’s why he’ll take any opportunity he can to mention his favorite TV show or band in an article. Basically Anthony’s doing whatever he can to avoid hate mail.
