      • Lori Spangler American culture will never adopt the vacation/work balance values of other countries. Sometimes I envision all those that hate their jobs or hate going to work, just trading places with all of the out of work people who actually want to work. That would raise a different set of problems though, wouldn't it.

      • Lori Spangler Unless a contract states otherwise, even in crazy California,employees are to be paid for hours worked. Assuming he was a salaried employee, usually you work whatever is necessary to do your job. I think there is a shift in the wind in California regarding salaried positions.

        ities to lower incomes. Also, the financial crisis lost so many jobs that to recover employment levels to 2007 in some states will take another 4 years. The only states which have recovered levels are those that were able to tap new energy reserves OR areas with technological advances. But yes wages have gone far down and employment scarce.

        • Chris Sahar ‎1) Employers are highly unlikely to say they are not hiring due to long gaps in employment because it is illegal to discriminate and has them look quite unethical in this economic environment 2) From my experience, on -the-job training is one of the FIRST expenses to go in recessions. PLus the infographic showed employers INTENTION, but no evidence of action.

          On the job seekers side - many fail to see that networking is the most successful way to get a job, yet, understandably, employers use the internet to screen out the preponderence of job seekers applying for positions for which they are not...
          qualified. Also, many job seekers fail to volunteer or put down freelance work they do while seeking full-time work. Too many job seekers think that volunteering takes away from your job search. It depends entirely on what you do and limiting you volunteer commitment to a few hours a week at most.
