More Crystal Ball Antics

JR posted a great set of predictions of things to come in 2007 - I'd like to piggy-back to that with some additional thoughts.

If our current employment trends continue we'll be looking forward to 2007 for a decent unemployment rate (unchanged at 4.5% in November 2006, down from 4.6 and 4.7% in QI & II 2006), a continued increase in average hourly earnings (up .2%/3 cents in November 2006 to $16.94; over the year the increases were in 4.1% range), and a large new-job addition in the Professional/Business Services sector (computer systems design, architecture/engineering, management consulting, etc.) - 426,000 in 2006.

What does all that mean for the job seeker? Check back with Career Zen Technology to find out!
