The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for Job Seekers in 2010

With end of year economics reports coming out and pundits predicting possibilities for 2010, job seekers are finding multiple reasons both to cheer and jeer.

The Good

In a recent interview on ABC's This Week, White House economic adviser Lawrence Summers said he believes Spring will see a marked increase in jobs created throughout the US. That's when the country will stop losing jobs every month, and start gaining them. He points to November's falling unemployment rate (it fell by 10%) and the fact that only 11,000 jobs were lost last month, the fewest losses in 23 months.
