What to do when the economy says, ‘Boo!’

March jobs reportYou know that scene in cheesy horror movies when the babysitter is passed out on the couch, the children are laying snug in their beds, the sheriff’s head is in the mailbox – and then a mysterious, gloved hand snips the phone line outside the house? That’s kind of what’s going on with the U.S. economy right now, and consequently, the job market, too.

We’re honestly thinking of casting Sarah Michelle Gellar, ripping off a famous Japanese horror movie and calling our version, “Axe Job 3: Pink Slips & Toe Tags.”

It was just a month ago when we used this very space to be negative nellies and talk about our country’s employment – or lack thereof – with doom and gloom. And unfortunately, now we have to do it again. Except this time it’s a little worse…

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, we lost 80,000 jobs in March and unemployment hit the worst skid since September of 2005. But we don’t have to tell you how tough it is to find a job during a sour economy.
