Where the Jobs Are, March Edition

Submitted by Rich Toscano on April 29, 2007 - 10:17am

Here is the promised update to the sector-by-sector job growth chart. The relative growth didn't change much in March. Government employment edged out professional services for the number two spot, and retail trade recovered a bit to make a better showing than financial services (the two were tied last month).

While the compensation shifted a bit, March's overall annual employment gain was exactly what it was in February: an additional 8,600 jobs.

I don't understand how

I don't understand how anyone can CALL paying over $700K for a 2 perhaps 3 bedroom POS only after 4 years of appreciation THE BOTTOM.

If the interest rates stay the same, what this means is AT BEST that people, from this point on, will HAVE TO pay over 50% of their income ON AVERAGE to by home...from this point on.

Looks the powers at be are doing what they intended to do...enslave people...finally. And it only took them 4 solid years to do so. Bravo.
