Here is a depressing look at the job market people who are looking for jobs are facing, according to the August 31 New York Times article,"New Job Means Lower Wages for Many."
Basically, it is going to be difficult to find a high-paying job, if you can find one at all. The article reports, "It found that job expansion to this point had been skewed toward industries with median wages that are low to middling, with a disproportionate share of job growth happening in industries whose median wages fell below $15 an hour." (Citation source:http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/01/us/
01jobs.html?emc=tnt&tntemail1=y )
Here's something to think about. At $8.92 median hourly wage for someone working in a fast food place, that would come out to $356.80 for a 40-hour week, or $14,272.00 a year. That's a tough life.
Here is definitely something for the visually-oriented that walk among us and prefer only pictures.
It's called a Wordle and it is the brainchild of Jonathan Feinberg who creates a graphic that captures keywords from a blog or a set of tweets. TweetStats generates these and calls them "TweetClouds." You can view this as summary of the tweets I have posted in recent months. Amazing!
