On Friday, we told you that the BLS reported that employers slashed 524,000 jobs in the last month of ‘08 bring ing the grand total number of jobs lost in 2008 to 2.6 million jobs in 2008.
ABC News produced two segments about the U.S. job situation on Friday. The segments, which feature CareerBuilder.com CEO Matt Ferguson and VP of Corporate Marketing Jason Ferrara, take a closer look at which sectors are hiring and tips for searching in this economy.
In his weekly YouTube address on Saturday, President-Elect Obama also discussed the BLS numbers and a report released by the Obama-Biden Transition Team analyzing the number and types of jobs the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan will create.
