Worker Confidence Hits New High -- Podcast Available

In our latest survey of the U.S. workforce, we found that worker confidence hit its highest level since July 2004 (when we first started the monthly survey). This renewed level of confidence was due in part to workers' more optimistic viewpoint on the economy and on the job market. Today's report by the government on job creation seems to support the higher confidence levels as job growth was higher than estimated.

 The good news is that job growth continues to be broad-based in a wide range of industries. U.S. Workers are in demand and will continue to be in demand for the foreseeable future. So, as a current or potential job seeker, you are facing an excellent situation. And the more skills and experience you can get, the better off you will be in your job hunt.

So, as we close out 2006, how do you feel about your present situation? Do you feel more confident in the strength of the job market and economy?

For more information on our latest worker confidence survey, please click here.

I am also introducing the SpherionTheAir podcast which will feature regular segments on our views of the job market and the trends that are shaping the workplace of today. To listen to or download these podcasts, please click here for Quicktime users and here for Windows Media Player users.  SpherionTheAir will soon be available at the iTunes Music Store for those of you that want to take us with you on your iPod.

Enjoy!

Dudes,
Kewl stuff but why do a pod-cast without video?

Hey Dude,

Thanks for your comment. Most podcasts are created as audio files only, but we do plan on having more job and interview tip videos available through this blog in 2007.

Also, I am not sure if you saw it yet, but we just launched a video series available on YouTube called 'My Temporary Life.' I hope you find it amusing.
