Even with the gloomy economic reports and the uninviting job outlook; there still tends to be rays of hope that are beginning to shine through on a weekly bases. Last week despite being in a recession money glitch the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced the good news that the unemployment rate was less than what it was projected for the month of July.
This week, we found an article that outlines counties located all over the U.S. that according to the BLS has continued to experience job and wage growth since the end of last year. This article spurred an unorthodox debate of how our office might address the information that is being provided by the BLS. For instance, should David L. who we presented a few weeks ago, pack his bags and move without a job based on the fact that Houston was one of the cities mentioned in the article? We think this question remains unpredictable unless he has income to sustain his family for a while.
During this discussion one author stated, “If only there were positive money glitch instructors for finding these jobs like the Shaun White money glitch game instructors.” As you may know, a money glitch game instructor will tell you that in order to get the extra money from the Shaun White snowboarding game; one will need to ride solo, and then go to Japan and not the other three locations listed for the game. From there the individual will need to press the back button to view the map and press the left trigger to go all the way up to the ski lift and press “A” to get on top of the mountain to proceed from there. O.k. gamers for additional information enjoy this link to Shaun White $1M.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a money glitch instructor that can provide job seekers instructions as to which city to choose to generate extra income during this recession money glitch. As a matter of fact, many of you living within the vicinity of these counties may start scratching your heads in wonderment of how you could be living in a particular county and not know of the opportunities to find such employment. Well, in all honesty that will perhaps that will remain a mystery. Nevertheless, according to Dona DeZube, a Monster Finance Careers Expert, the BLS’ list of the 335 largest US counties by employment reflects there are counties that have rising wages and job growth. As follows are 10 states with their listed counties:
- Alaska: Anchorage
- Illinois: Peoria
- Iowa: Linn
- Kansas: Sedgwick, Shawnee and Wyandotte
- Louisiana: Calcasieu, East Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Orleans
- New York: Kings
- North Carolina: Cumberland
- North Dakota: Cass
