Picking Up

They say that the economy is slowly picking up? Why everytime I turn on the t.v to watch news there is still a scarcity of employment? There are still people left jobless in North Texas alone. In my part, if I have a degree and was hit by recession, I would try very hard to look for another one even if it means working part-time in the meantime. Then while working, I would also look for career opportunities online for I know there are several agencies or websites out there that show work vacancies for qualified candidates.
