"The loss of 467,000 jobs in June..." writes Don Lee of the Los Angeles Times, "...made it clear that the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression was far from over."



"This is the only recession since the Great Depression to wipe out all the jobs growth from the previous business cycle," institute economist Heidi Shierholz said.

"If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it." Seth Godin

Retailers report soft May sales figures


In the Los Angeles Times, Andrea Chang writes, "The nation’s consumer spending recovery hit a snag in May as retailers reported soft results that hinted at what could be a tough summer for spending."

One might ask if this is a consequence of massive job losses or if this will this stimulate further job lay-offs.

In any event, those who rely on keeping or finding a job should take note and act to increase the value of their personal brand.
