The tsunami of positive jobs data continues.
This means the job market is much better for us so we will have the upper hand in negotiating our job status and salary with Merck!

We are nowhere near "full employment" in this country. And trust me, these jobs don't take into account underemployment. Also, I wonder how many of those jobs come with living wages and benefits.

As far as negotiating your salary/status at Merck, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if Merck has nothing to sell, then why do they need sales reps?
 




Interesting for the labor group. For us, total BS announcement. These jobs are low paying and heavy on the trades. Nice paychecks professional jobs are not so plentiful at all.

For the average wonder bread Joe and Jane the well paying jobs are not found in any great quantity...Better have a connection. Most decent paying gigs are grabbed before announced. This is the truth from one who knows.

A reality check for the cocky amongst us. Most jobs hunters are finding interviews but since HR requires plenty to be screened....you will be swimming in a very crowded pool of applicants indeed. PS....buy some grey hair cover products and shine your shoes. Youth is a big competitor these days.

A few figures to consider: That big headline number translated into just 4,000 more working Americans. There were, at the same time, another 115,000 on the unemployment line. That disparity can be explained through an expanding labor force, which grew 119,000, though the participation rate among that group remained at 62.8 percent, which is just off the year's worst level and around a 36-year low.
But wait, there's more: The jobs that were created skewed heavily toward lower quality. Full-time jobs declined by 150,000, while part-time positions increased by 77,000.
