Looking for a Job Right Now?
Even in times when finding a job seems to be the most urgent goal, it still makes a huge difference to review and assess the current occupational employment climate in your particular area of specialization. For starters, I strongly recommend reviewing the 2023 Employment Projections guide from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Four reference tables are particularly noteworthy:
- Employment by Major Industry Sector
- Employment Projections 2021-31
- Fastest Growing Occupations 2021-31
- Occupations with the Most Job Growth 2021-31
There is no shortage of resources on the Internet for building and strengthening your job search strategy. I recommend the following for a comprehensive search strategy:
