Jobs
I saw some mention today of Ford’s plans to hire 1,200 workers in Illinois. Workers were interviewed on television saying they felt more secure in their own employment. I didn’t see as much coverage of Home Depot’s announcement to lay off 1,000 workers. Both of these announcements were small potatoes compared to Verizon’s announcement to cut 13,000 jobs. Verizon made similar cuts last year.
A friend of mine forwarded me an email about recruiters visiting UCSB. They weren’t actually recruiting, though. Instead, they were offering “interview practice.” This time last year, they were offering actual interviews. I do not envy college seniors this year. Perhaps the juniors will have better luck.
