Labor Statistics and You

The Bureau of Labor Statistics city unemployment figures came out this week for September. You can find them here: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/metro.pdf

My advice is if you are thinking about moving, they are worth looking at. There are a few cities where the unemployment is very low, and a few where the unemployment is staggeringly high.

For most of us, the important thing is to focus our search on the companies and types of job that best fit us, and to conduct a powerful job search. Focus on that objective, and let the statistics take care of themselves.
