No matter who you will vote for, will we get more jobs opportunity after the elections? Why? I am positive we can all achieve our goals and and face what's coming.. What do you think?

Sharing a great article on how jobs in this gig economy allow women to have the flexibility to earn an income while getting an education, having kids, or working on advancing in their career. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/282693 This is exactly why I'm working for a new rideshare company, launching in Boston - looking to hire drivers to assist busy families with transportation for children and seniors. It's a company designed for busy families and hiring hundreds of women and men! Check us out at zemcar.com.

Hey everyone I'm just posting today I just want to say that it doesn't pay to go out to eat any more because McDonald is starting to charge to much just because they want 15 dollars an hour I know everybody wants to make more money but what about the person owns the place I really hope the employees are thinking about him because without him you don't have a job

As the labor force is being replaced with automation and innovation at an increasing rate, when will be the tipping point where the current model of employment not be sustainable? What plans are in place for the population that will be unemployed? How will we transition over from the old model to the new one? Will there only be so many tech/maintenance positions available and will they number far fewer than the previous positions they replaced? These are questions I find myself thinking about often. It seems like it will be a potentially scary transition for many and happen in this lifetime, at the current rate technology is evolving today.

Job market expected to get hotter — and harder for employers

How does this (very old) law help our citizens? One should only be fired "for cause" in this day and age. Hire fire Hire fire...no loyalty culture...it's economically unsound for our American society. Your thoughts?

I have applied for jobs and have heard nothing it is tough out there. Billion dollar companies paying minimum wage and I saw one guy blame Obama when the Republicans have owned congress for the better part of 30 years. I hope you find something I am 62 so it will be harder for me I still have a lot to offer but not for $10.00 an hour and some of the job descriptions they want you to run the place for that money. They want you to live there just to make ends meet. I like to see my family and do things with them you know (FAMILY) so while you kill yourself the managers are home with there's. I just left a geedy company who makes 350 million dollars a quarter and tell you that times are tough. The people right above me got huge bonuses and we ran around killing ourselves it's a shame what is going on. GOOD LUCK!!

I graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree earlier this year and consider myself to be a well rounded, knowledgeable, and hardworking job applicant who’s willing to start off at a humble (low) salary for MEANINGFUL work…. So why can’t I find a job?? How can I get experience if no one is willing to give me an opportunity to learn? I’ve sent out numerous applications with cover letters detailing my educational experience and academic achievements but obviously that’s not enough. Where are all these jobs I read the economy is creating and what do I need to do to get one?

I don’t know how else to express what I want to say about this without sounding like a racist but I’ll try to deliver this message in the hope that the contributors on this platform will hear me out and not rush to judgement. I can’t find a job online or otherwise that I can apply for in or around my town that doesn’t have a Bilingual or Spanish speaking ONLY as a job requirement! Once upon a time I was a proud assembly worker for a big American manufacturing company. This was a job I held down for almost 25 years before they decided lay everyone off and ship out our jobs over to Asia and Central America. Now, I find myself competing for those very same jobs back home. I can’t even apply because, get this, I don’t speak the language!! What’s happening in this country, particularly in the South? The overwhelming influx of legal and illegal immigration into these small blue collar towns is destroying the social economic fabric and balance of temperament that took so long to establish within these communities. I’m pissed that I can’t find a way to make a living and support my family in my own country. I’m in my fifties so learning a new language isn’t a reality for me. What else am I and other people like myself suffering quietly in idle supposed to do to find work?

So my previous employer called me back this morning. I SO WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK WITH THEM...not because the job is permanent, but there could be an offer later on down the road, plus the experience again would just boost my resume even GREATER.

However my Honeymoon dates are getting in the way...however it might work out because I already went through the training and it would only take me 2 days to catch up with the rest of the folks...I am that much ahead. I really really want this job, if I don't hear back from my contact I will contact them again tomorrow afternoon....I know shes busy and I don't need to add more pressure onto her. She had to Check with HR about my particular situation anyway.

Now I did go on an interview today as a backup plan. The previous job and this interview are connected, I can't say how or why...but I will say it would be a continuation ...

So i go to the interview and I am amazed at the numbers of people there.

There were people in their 60's lining up for interviews, there were a few people my age and a lot of younger ones either just out of college ...I would say between the ages of 25-32 Max

They way they dressed and acted was just beyond me.

Please, don't wear torn jeans, sneakers, pull over shirts... dress appropriately. That means your SUNDAYS BEST Don't chew gum Don't bring out your cell phone and start taking pictures of yourself Don't pace the floor And if someone is older than you and there is limited seating...give up your seat for the elder...its polite Don't complain about waiting around either

ACT Professional even if its NOT the job for you,

Look its tough out there I know...95 Million Americans out of work, a 9.7% unemployment rate

Do all that you can to make yourself look like they want to hire you not someone they have to hire.
