Though 2008 was wrought with layoffs and economic struggles, the New Year means rejuvenated hope for job seekers.

While several companies continue to make mass layoffs, other companies are shifting their focus to hire aggressively in the beginning of 2009.

I hear ya but unfortunatly the way it works is it cost money to make money. Today even a broom sweeping job requires at least a 2 year degree. If you want to make $6.25 an hr then dont get a college education. If you want to make $10 then get your 2 year degree. If you want to make $15 then get your 4 year degree.

Am I exaggerating? Maybe a litte bit but not by much. The truth is those who are unemployed will agree with me while those with a job will disagree.

No you're not exaggerating, you are dead on. I do wish college is free, but then a college can't make money to add programs. Go figure. I will add the minimum wage requirement in AZ went up to $7.25 an hour this month. This wage might be nationwide later this year if not already.

The problem is when minimum wage rises, so will the price of everything else! It's not even funny anymore and they might as well leave the minimum wage as is.
