Means absolutely nothing. The market should be much lower then it is. It is being artificially held up. It is only up in anticipation of a recovery which just isn't happening. The stock market really isn't a great indicator of the economy. It is about corporate profits. This is a "jobless recovery." Which means companies are making profits by cutting staff. If you want to talk about the economy you have to talk about the unemployment rate which is 8.2%. It was 7.8% when Obama took office. However the real unemployment rate is about 14%. Unemployment data is very misleading. Those who's unemployment benefits have expired are no longer counted in the count. So really the economy has not gotten better under Obama despite the stock market rise.
Not sure how much longer they can keep putting bandaids on the stock market. I guess only the big boys know when it will fall.
I've got job openings coming out my ass. Just no candidates.
The unemployed group is largely comprised of long tenured people who have been making good money and entry level people with no experience. Most companies aren't interested in them.
The mid level people that everyone wants are working and less likely to take a risk to make a move. I have a bunch of great jobs open.....direct hire positions. I can't find dick for candidates. I don't even get dick for resumes from job postings.
Something has to give. I've been doing this for 20 years and I've never seen anything like it.

give the entry-level people a chance, everyone has to start from the beginning anyway.

Only if you have the requisite skills for a job that commands a six figure income.
This country is loaded with people who have $40K-$50K/yr. skills, but feel like they are entitled to $100K/yr. The market is full of jobs in that $75K-$100K range. But companies aren't just going to hire some moron because they believe they should be making that kind of money.

As a manager of a department with the pressure of certain goals and objectives that need to be accomplished, would you be willing to hire someone who might require 6 months on the job before they were productive and adding to the bottom line? Your job is on the line. You really want to take one for the team and hire someone like that?

Hutch, I am no employment expert but I think it is safe to say that some areas of the country are far worse then others. And for the most part obviously the country has a serious unemployment problem.

hutch makes good points, no one wants to hire someone that could be gone in 6 months due to not living up to standards. your butt is on the line!
if u want to move up the ladder u better start kissing butt and sabotaging ur manager or the guy ahead of you to move up the chain. this is how it works.
as for my avatar, ive had this avatar for awhile now, sorry if it offends ya.
the economy is toast, as the thread title says, just trying to confirm with your neck of the woods.
the under 25 and over 50 unemployment is off the charts and the "99" weeks is/or already run out so these people are going to hurt the economy even more.

The global economy is worsening. Asia's growth has slowed down, Europe is in a huge recession. Our economy has slowed greatly also. The unemployment rate has stayed at 8.2% all of 2012 thus far. This tells us we need more stim, the economy sucks and there is not enough job growth.

Here's the plan.............Since we're 15 trillion dollars in debt I say let all the Bush tax cuts expire at year end. This will extract needed money to run the government from the 99% (or at least those in the 99% still employed).
Then offer to the 1% to not only restore BUT DOUBLE their Bush tax cuts once the unemployment rate gets to 5% or less. They claim to be the "jobs creators" make them prove it.

I agree with your comments Hutch. There are tons of jobs out there, but no candidates. I have been looking for 9 candidates to hire for the past 7 months and have only found 2 folks.
The market is flooded with folks in certain sectors but very shallow in others like Technology or Analytics.
If anyone has above average skill set in SiteCatalyst, Insight, A/B Testing, has managed a team before and looking for a great opportunity that's challenging, msg me. I don't care where you live in North America (especially if you're open to travel). Position is on the agency side, but we are one of the best.
In regards to the economy. We are in the middle of bullshit reports, economic messes globally, currency wars and ppl swimming in debt. Can we recover, yes, will it take a decade, I think so, but this won't start the recovery unless we start dealing with the facts, which is unlikely. So the f*ck really knows.

every company looks to experience and recommendation when it comes to hiring, that is understandable. instead of boundless expectation for ms./mr. right to show up, why not hire the one that is qualify but with no prior experience.
like i reference, every one has to begin from the start line and ends at the finish line. commence the trickle trade and this economy will pick up.

Plenty of candidates. Just not the ones companies are looking for. I submitted 17 candidates for an entry level electronic technician position I have open. Not one interview. I submitted over 10 for a drafter/design position I had open. Not one interview.
These are $14 - $17/hr. jobs.

If sticking my hand up a dudes ass is a requisite skill .. then no I am not qualified
Nope, didn't call you a moron. I said companies are not going to hire some moron for $75K when their skill set is only worth $50K.
Companies have been tightening the belt for years now. Why do you think the market is littered with people who have 20-30 years of experience making a lot of money? Companies trimmed the fat. Now they are filling those positions with less experience, less expensive people.
Companies are asking for more and wanting to pay less. I have no idea where all these higher paid people who are unemployed are eventually going to find work.

Well, not all of Europe. Scandinavia (you know us communist bastards) is doing okay all things considered.
Actually because of the crisis we have been able to borrow money at a negative interest rate. Getting money for borrowing them is a good deal. However it does show that the global financial system is fucked up in every possible way.

Tourism is booming here if that is any indication. They are from the Far East and Europe and Canada and West Coast USA and the East Coast. It won't last.
