Description
Recently, the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private, nonprofit research organization, published a report stating that the American economy has been in recession since December of 2007. Although their definition of recession may differ from that most commonly used, two consecutive quarters of negative growth in the gross domestic product, their diagnosis of the current state of the economy came as no surprise to most Americans, who have been feeling the pinch of the economic downturn, and the high prices and low opportunities for employment and advancement that have resulted. Many companies have reduced staff, and others are planning such reductions for the coming year. Reporting on a survey by Watson Wyatt, a consulting firm, the HRSpecialist.com reported in November of 2008 that one-fourth of U.S. employers plan to have staff reductions within the next 12 months. Students graduating in 2009 will have to give serious thought to the differential impact the recession has had on the career fields they would most like to enter, their geographic preferences, and whether they should postpone seeking full-time employment in favor of graduate school. We may not know how long these conditions will last, the economy being cyclical, but it's a good bet that when your search for your dream job is in full swing, the nightmare economy will be, too.
