[quote=jameswenn]So what’s the word on the street?
I have weekly emails from job boards and i’m seeing the same jobs month after month.
I live in UC, so alot of my neighbors are scientists and a few have been out of work for months as local shops closed down. They’re thinking of relocating to SF Bay or Denver to find work.[/quote]
I’m seeing the same thing here in UC. Maybe it’s just our microcosm. I just found out why I haven’t seen one neighbor in a while… He’s a PhD scientist who was laid off – he’s been working in LA during the week. My kids classmates – several have at least one parent looking for work… and these are all scientist parents.
That said – the neighbor across the street is back at work after about a year off. She does escrow/loan stuff. I guess the low rates, government intervention, etc. have created a demand for her job again.
We also have a few friends who are scientists. They have all had job issues in the past few years, but are all back to work now (for lower pay). Each of them is more cautious with their spending because they are afraid of losing their jobs again.
During their job searches, they were told that “an avalanche” of fully qualified candidates (PhDs with many years’ worth of experience) would apply for a single opening.
