When did the current Recession start?

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the recession really started in December 2007under the Bush administration.

Jobs peaked in December of 2007 and then have been declining ever since then.   Duration of recessions can change.

The average expansion since the end of World War II has lasted 57 months. The typical postwar recession has lasted 10 months. 

According to financial economic researchers this recession has the possibility of lasting longer.

How bad was this recession, and how quickly is the economy recovering?

This is considered one of the worst Recessions in U.S. history.

No one, not even the President knows when this Recession would be concluded.

The Government has come up with all sorts of stimulus plans to regulate the economy.

The official month (quarter) marking the end of this recession, and the start of the recovery, has yet to be determined .

Face of the Economy

So why is now a Good idea to go Back to School

If you’re worried about getting a job in the recession, maybe you should stop trying.

Because you’re not likely to miss out on high wages. No one is paying the big bucks

Because the job market is down There’s no question that knowledge is going to be

an important commodity in tomorrow’s economy. Jobs that require little education are increasingly being outsourced and automated, and with an influx of Bachelor’s degrees over decades, many career counselors advocate advanced degrees for workers who want to stand out from the crowd.

So why is now a Good idea to go Back to School Cont’

Get your degree now, and you’ll be poised to participate fully in a knowledge-based economy as a highly valued worker.

In a time of plummeting job opportunities and stagnating wages, it may be a better financial decision to cut back on work now rather than later in the interest of boosting your skills

And it’s definitely better to earn a degree  than to stay jobless.

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

Why Waste Anymore Time

If one loses his/her job, it may be a good time to go back to school for a Bachelor’s degree (BA); the modern job market is focused on workers with at least a BA.

In the 2000s, job growth has been focused on those workers who have attained a BA or greater, and to a lesser extent, on those workers with an Associate’s Degree.

Getting a college education is extremely important in the modern job market.

Why Waste Anymore Time Cont’

You have nothing else to do. Nothing to loose but everything to gain. No one knows when the economy is

going to get better. Education is the best weapon to

overcome oppression

Do it for yourself as well as your family. Be the foundation of what success is all

about. A job is not definite but a career is! Nothing to it, but to do it DON’T BE A STATISTIC, BE THE

STANDARD!
