June 2, 2006 11:28 - Your Dream Job Forecast... A Mixed Bag at Best

Your career outlook is somewhat of a mixed bag currently...

A recent article in USA Today analyzed a report released by the US Labor Department. It states that the number of new jobs in the US in the last month is the lowest since last fall, following Hurricane Katrina. On the other hand, the unemployment rate has gone down slightly. So the bottom line is that there aren't quite as many new jobs available, but more people are have jobs overall. So, I guess that's an improvement

However, it's also crucial to note that career/job salaries went up too. Here's what the article said:

"Workers' average hourly earnings stood at $16.62 in May, a small 0.1% increase from April. That was smaller than the 0.3% rise economists were expecting and marked a moderation from a sharp pickup in earnings registered in April."

So, what does all this mean for you and your dream job outlook? Well, it's like this...

The figures above lead experts to expect a stable economy in the US with a decrease in inflation. And, the job market is solid, if not quite booming. Althought there have been some recent losses in factory and retailing jobs, these losses were balanced out by more jobs in education, health care, and financial sector. So, if you're considering a career change, you might look to getting a dream job in one of those growing fields.
