Job Creation Up, but So Is Jobless Rate - Newser

Posted: 07 May 2010 08:14 AM PDT

(AP) – Employers stepped up job creation in April, expanding payrolls by 290,000, the most in four years, the AP reports. The jobless rate also rose, to 9.9%, as people resumed their searches for work. The hiring of 66,000 temporary government workers to conduct the census helped overall payroll growth last month. Private employers added a surprisingly strong 231,000 positions in April, also the most since March 2006, the Labor Dept. reported today.

Job gains in April were widespread, with manufacturers, construction companies, retailers, professional and business services, education and health services, leisure and hospitality, and government all showing gains. Among the weak spots: transportation and warehousing and information companies, which cut jobs last month. Many economists think it will take until at least the middle of the decade to lower the unemployment rate to a more normal 5.5% to 6%.

Orlando, FL, May 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Job Hunting Strategies, an Orlando-based career company, has published a new e-book, "Job Hunting in a Tough Economy, Kick-Ass Strategies to Get the Job You Want and the Salary You Deserve." The book offers current, practical, job search advice. In 257 meaty pages, it gives detailed, how-to information on resumes, cover letters, interviews and negotiating salary.

The book differs from traditional job search books by including many innovative strategies to help job seekers find unadvertised positions and get noticed when the competition is stiff.

"These are original ideas proven to work but known by few," explained author Susan Greene of Job Hunting Strategies. "They take finding and applying for a job to the next level, from ordinary to awesome, so that the job seeker finds quality employment more quickly."

The "Kick-Ass Strategies," as they're called, are presented in the form of case studies. "They're true-life examples that job seekers can replicate and modify to fit their individual situation," said Greene.

Greene is also the co-author of "The Ultimate Job Hunter's Guidebook," a widely-used college textbook on the subject of job hunting aimed primarily at students looking for their first career job. "Job Hunting in a Tough Economy" targets professionals who have some experience in their field.

Taking advantage of its electronic form, "Job Hunting in a Tough Economy" includes many links to online resources such as instructional videos, career blogs and websites with job listings.

Also included are many sample resumes and cover letters that readers can use as templates in creating their own job search tools. Add to that many inspirational tips and exercises designed to motivate the job seeker.

"Job Hunting in a Tough Economy" is all about taking action," explained author Susan Greene. "It encourages the job seeker to stop feeling sorry for himself and to realize that job hunting is a job in itself. The key to getting one's career on track is simply to keep moving forward."

"Job Hunting in a Touch Economy" is available as an immediate download, and comes with 15 additional e-books and e-reports as free bonuses. According to Greene, each of these products is a virtual mini-course on how to achieve career, financial and personal success. "It's a wealth of information in one value-priced package," she said.

The e-book comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. Affiliates are welcome. For more information on the e-book and bonus products, go to www.JobHuntingStrategies.com or contact Susan Greene at Susan@JobHuntingStrategies.com.
