One day away from the weekend. Can’t you just taste it?

You really could devote your entire day to just reading the top stories on news sites today and you’d still not catch up. We were all bummed to hear about Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson today. Not to mention the Gov. Sanford scandal. And those stories have overtaken the more substantive issues, such as Iran, Supreme Court rulings and the like.

Here are some work-related items we picked out for your reading pleasure:

Oh, those silly stocks.
Stock futures decline after rise in jobless claims
We’re not exactly shocked that the economy’s making it even harder for college students to find a job to fit into their schedules. But it’s still unpleasant news.
College students finding summer job search tough
The Onion‘s always good for a laugh.
Hard Day’s Work Fails To Yield Sense Of Job Well Done
An interesting look at the aftermath of unemployment on cities.
When jobs go, so do a city’s people

‘Til Friday!

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.
