While the whole country and every sector of our economy is being impacted by the recession, not all impacts are equal. Some parts of the country, and some economic sectors, are faring better than others. Some industries are still hiring and creating jobs while others have stagnated.
So, who’s still hiring? What kinds of jobs are most available now?
To find out, I researched the online job listings. Here’s what I found.
MOST AVAILABLE JOBS (based on number of online job ads)
