North Coast Hot Jobs Sep. 29

Hello again fellow job seekers. Here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs listing, http://www.scribd.com/doc/241187525/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-Sep-29-2014

Well, welcome to the Fall of 2014 everyone. What this means from an employment standpoint is that seasonal jobs will start to go away. As a result, unemployment could inch up if new employment opportunities don't become available.

So, this week let's discuss the August unemployment rates in Washington state. Here's the rundown for counties in our area.

1) Clallam County 7.0%
2) Jefferson County 6.5%
3) Island County 6.1%
4) Kitsap County 5.3%
5) Snohomish County 5.4%
6) King 4.9%
7) Pierce County 6.1%

Statewide unemployment is 5.6%, which is pretty good. For more info on this subject, go to https://fortress.wa.gov/esd/employmentdata/reports-publications/economic-reports/monthly-employment-report/map-of-county-unemployment-rates

Have a good one.

Well, September 23 will be the first day of Fall. Hope you enjoyed your summer. Temperatures will be going down soon. Some people who had summer based jobs, such as landscaping, will be going into hibernation. They work hard in the summer to pay for their winter work slow times.

The jobs website for the Olympic Rehab of Sequim did not show any jobs last week. Don't know if this was a technical issue. Anyways, they have jobs posted this week here, http://www.avamereolympicrehabofsequim.com. These jobs are also listed in the North Coast Hot Jobs listing.

Be sure to check out the Job Hunting Tips and Weekly Featured Jobs pages in the right column of this page. 

That's all for this week. Have a good one.

Hello fellow job seekers. Why yes, I am still unemployed. Here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs listing, http://www.scribd.com/doc/239752008/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-Sep-15-2014

So, let's start this week off with the latest unemployment rates by county in Washington state as of July 2014. First, this state's unemployment rate is at 5.4%. Here are some counties that are closest to us. More info at this link, https://fortress.wa.gov/esd/employmentdata/reports-publications/economic-reports/monthly-employment-report/map-of-county-unemployment-rates

     1) Clallam County is at 6.9%.
     2) Jefferson County is at 6.5%.
     3) Island County is at 5.9%
     4) Kitsap County is at 5.1%
     5) King County is at 4.9%
     6) Pierce County is at 5.9%
     7) Snohomish County is at 5.3%
     8) Grays Harbor County is at 8.2%

As you can tell, unemployment rates are continually going down. King, Kitsap and Snohomish counties are in need of manpower. I have noticed this also in the amount of available jobs being posted in those areas.

As the economy continues to get stronger, employers will be forced to pay their employees more to keep them or they will move on. This is the next step in the recession recovery.

That's all for this week. Have a good one.
