NEW JOB IN less than SIX MONTHS
NEW JOB IN less than SIX MONTHS
Recent employment data has economists and working Americans jittery, but job seekers with salaries higher than $100,000 aren’t so worried.
TheLadders.com, an executive jobs website, surveyed 655 of its members online and found that while 74 percent of those looking for new employment said there are fewer interviews available, 65 percent still think they’ll get a new job within six months.
That number hasn’t changed much since late 2006, when 70 percent were sure they’d land a new job in six months or less easy payday loans.
"They’re still optimistic," said Robert Turtledove, chief marketing officer of TheLadders.com. "This group is used to some of the vagaries of the job search market."
While hiring by consumer goods companies, construction and manufacturing may be taking hits, pharmaceuticals, the health care industry and high-tech companies are reassuring pockets of strength, Turtledove said.
