Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/30/2012 -- A company based in Greenville is laying off 300 people, dramatically cutting back on its workforce. They own Uni-Solar and are a solar roofing business. The parent company, Energy Conversion Devices, was even going to auction off the business but no bids that they found acceptable were placed.

Things haven't been going well for the company in the past few months. The parent company filed for bankruptcy in February and many of its workers were put on furlough. Though an exact cause for the company's failure hasn't been found, the executives believe it has to do with the cessation of federal incentives and the production of too many solar panels.

Situations like this are really unfortunate and can make it difficult for people to feel stable in their jobs. While it's understandable to want to feel secure in a position, it's a bad idea to get too comfortable. So you're never surprised by a potential job loss, you should check out Hound.com.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/14/2012 -- Bad news came out of Niche Inc., after the company revealed they had to lay off 400 people. The lay offs occurred because the manufacturer lost a major contract that rendered the need for these employees moot.

Niche Inc., a manufacturer of parachutes based in the South End, announced the lay offs happened on Monday and Tuesday of last week. The company did indicate that if new contracts could be obtained, they'd re-hire some of the laid off workers. Though in this time of economic uncertainty, it's hard to say how soon, or even if, that will happen.

This is why having a backup plan is so essential. If you're suddenly laid off or fired, you need to find new employment fast, and in this economy, that's easier said than done. That's why utilizing a site like Hound.com is such a smart idea.

The site provides a subscriber-based service to job seekers by offering a wide variety of job listings pulled directly from employer websites. Often, these jobs aren't widely publicized or aren't included on job board sites. This is great for the employer because they will presumably get more serious applicants this way. And it's great for the job seeker because there aren't as many applicants to compete with.

The former employees of Niche Inc. and other companies that have recently laid off workers should use the resources they have available, like Hound.com. It's simple and straightforward and it's hard not to beat making the process of finding work just a little bit easier.

Pre-recession Job Levels Make Looking For Work Still a Challenge

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2012 -- Payrolls have increased in March over previous months, according to a report put out by the ADP Employer Services. This means companies have been hiring more people, which is a steady sign of economic growth.

In fact, all sectors of the job market grew last month, with an anticipated increase of 215,000 jobs for March. Even so, the unemployment rate held steady at 8.3%. This might be confusing for some people. How can payrolls increase yet unemployment not go down?

It's all about keeping up with demand. Every month, there's a need for more positions to sustain the growing economy. New people enter the workforce every day. While an increase of 215,000 jobs is definitely nothing to sneeze at, it's not enough to compensate for all those out of work and those just entering the workforce. In short, growth is good, but more dramatic, faster growth is needed if the market is ever to fully recover.

In the meantime, job seekers need to take advantage of every search strategy out there, including a site called Hound.com. This site is subscription based to help weed out those that aren't serious about finding a job. Subscribers gain access to a variety of open positions that are pulled directly from employer's websites. These jobs aren't publicized, meaning the applicant pool will be smaller. This increases each applicant's chances considerably.

To make sure each job seeker has an improved chance at finding work with these increased payrolls, they should utilize every tool available.

Hound Helps Job Seekers Find Open Positions and Put Best Face Forward

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2012 -- In today's rocky economic climate, it's important to have a stellar resume and interview skills. However, if someone has a few blemishes on their resume, there may be a way around them. Just so long as one learns to maximize their strengths and downplay their weaknesses, there's hope yet for finding employment.

Competitive jobs can make every little thing on a resume matter like being jobless for a time, a poor G.P.A. or a lack of diverse experience.

Typically, these things don't automatically disqualify you. The key is presenting oneself as professional and confident during the interview. The interview can change everything.

Leave anxiety at home. It's important for applicants to appear confident and never defensive. If asked about a resume weakness, the applicant should recognize it then spin it to appear positive, especially if an effort has been made to overcome the issue. It's also important not to grovel or apologize for weaknesses. Whenever given the chance, the applicant should make an effort to steer the conversation away from weaknesses and onto strengths. Again, acknowledge the weak point but don't dwell on it. Shift to another topic smoothly.

Even with negative points on one's resume, there should still be an effort to apply to positions regularly. This can most successfully be accomplished by using Hound.com. This site requires a subscription fee from job seekers for access to jobs from individual employer websites.

These jobs aren't promoted like those on job search sites. Access to these hard-to-find positions and efforts to downplay resume weaknesses will give any applicant a real advantage over the competition.

Construction Jobs On The Rise; Using Job Tools Helps

In fact, twenty-eight different states saw gains in the construction industry, showing a definite improvement over 2011 numbers and showing the first increase since before the recession began in 2007.

At the moment, there are over 100,000 open positions listed on Hound.com and a handful of them are likely to be perfect for construction employees currently out of work. It would be a good idea to take advantage of the rise in open construction positions by utilizing a site like Hound to see every available opening.

Tennessee workers would have high hopes again because of the move General Motors has taken.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) --11/25/2011 -- Tennessee workers would have high hopes again because of the move General Motors has taken. GM's Spring Hill plant plans to employ 700 workers by next year.

GM has planned to bring these jobs back to its idled assembly plant in Spring Hill for work on any of the company's cars whenever extra production is needed. The firm has also invested $244 million over two phases. This will create nearly 1,900 jobs at the former Saturn plant outside Nashville.

Another 1,200 jobs are likely to be added by 2015 by General Motors. This would be a result of the $183 million investment made by the firm to make unspecified midsized vehicles.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2011 -- The New York State has lost nearly 160,000 jobs since 2001 because of China's unfair trade practices and currency manipulation. This is said to have happened because of the trade deficit in China that almost all of the good paying jobs were lost.

Yuan has appreciated only 10% against the dollar ever since China formally de-nailed from the U.S. dollar back in June. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer believes that Chinese companies have out bidden New York companies by using methods to create an irregular job field for New Yorkers. This currency manipulation has a huge impact on the manufacturing sector of the States. A shift in manufacturing jobs from China to Mexico is also significant.

Manufacturing jobs are shifting to America after the wage inflation in China. Also, the competition in global manufacturing sector between regional complexes like Asia consists of Japan and China versus North America consisting of U.S. and Mexico among others. Both, U.S. and Brazil, are looking forward to punish countries that manipulate their currency.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2011 -- According to the state Employment Development Department, the unemployment rate in California rose to 12.1 percent for the second consecutive month led by continued sluggishness in the construction industry.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/15/2011 -- In a speech on Thursday, President Barack Obama disclosed the American Jobs Act, the $447 billion plan to put the country back to toil. An alarm that the new jobs plan possibly will drain off jobs from one of the few industries still recruiting - healthcare industry.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were about 74,000 jobs created in healthcare sector last year. But this plan might have an opposite effect on the healthcare sector. To pay for $447 billion jobs package it needs extra savings. And to do that, it is most likely to propose more cuts for Medicare and Medicaid than it would have done otherwise.

A wide array of squeeze and stick for the two federal health programs, Medicare and Medicaid, that persisted to compel government expenditure, were suggested this April. But none of those plans has capitulated substantial legislation. A list of potential cuts that add up to more than $500 billion is released by the House Ways and Means Committee's Democratic staff.

Protective measures were taken by the American Hospital Association, releasing a study that estimated nearly 194,000 job cuts if the committee failed to find the required funds.

Those cuts would transform to a strike of about $41 billion for hospitals over 10 years and slow down what has been strong employment growth.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/06/2011 -- Amazon.com Inc has plans for investing in California-based distribution centers, where orders for delivery are filled. The current focus in Sacramento is to raise money and create jobs.

The online retailing giant has submitted a proposal for opening six distribution centers employing about 7,000 Californians.

Companies usually have been criticizing on California's burdensome regulations which making it difficult to expand or hire. New offers counterfeited by democrats and business leaders hope to modify that.

With unemployment rate still stuck at 11.8 percent, there is not much time to waste. But will these 7,000 new jobs bring a change in the unemployment scenario?

About 582 layoffs in the Department of Mental Health and 89 layoffs in the Department of Agriculture and Industries have been made since spring due to budget cuts. It is said that the legal field has gone beyond cutting fat and muscle and now they are down to cutting bone.

The Alabama court is cutting off 252 workers in circuit clerks' offices and 20 workers in state administrative offices. This is said to bring the total cuts to 423 or 20 percent of the staff especially those attached to layoffs of 151 juvenile trial officers, bailiffs, and court administrative employees.

The State Department of Public Safety is falling short of a $6 million budget and for which it had to cut a group of 38 from the state payroll.

McGinn announced the Weatherize Every Building program in April of last year. The goals were generating 2,000 living-wage jobs in Seattle and 2,000 existing buildings would be improved with energy efficiency equipment in poorer neighborhoods

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/22/2011 -- Seattle's weatherization program has gone in vain. Seattle Mayor, Mike McGinn, won $20 million federal grant to invest in weatherization.

McGinn announced the Weatherize Every Building program in April of last year. The goals were generating 2,000 living-wage jobs in Seattle and 2,000 existing buildings would be improved with energy efficiency equipment in poorer neighborhoods.

Even though the announcement came with great fanfare, Seattle's number is still lagging. Till last week, out of the 2000 homes, only three homes had been retrofitted and just 14 new jobs have emerged from the program.

The process is said to have been sluggish and tiresome. It's almost painful that only the people who got jobs have been among those who attended the meetings. There's been no real investment for the broader public.

It is surprising that, those who have benefited from the program are not low-income home owners and small businesses that were supposed to be targeted; instead they are hospitals and an athletic club.

People doubt if the original goals are now attainable!

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2011 -- Compared to the disappointing reports of the previous two months, July's report has been a humble one.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 13.9 million Americans unemployed and looking for work, down from about 14.1 million the previous month. None the less about 117,000 net jobs were created in July, much more than in May or June and more than the 90,000 economists had expected for July. Private sector nonfarm payrolls increased by 154,000.

Even after the recession's official ending two years ago, the unemployment rate is still shockingly high at 9.1 percent, though down from 9.2 percent in June. The under-employment rate is 16.1 percent with about 25 million Americans. They are either unemployed, or have given up looking, or are working part time but would prefer a full-time job.

Companies have been hiring temporary workers rather than adding full-time ones. In July it ticked up by about 300 jobs. As we know that every report has both the good and the bad, we should give consideration to the good ones too.

In July, healthcare employment grew by 31,000, retail trade adding 26,000 jobs, manufacturing employment increased by 24,000; while employment in mining rose by 9,000. Average hourly wages raised up 10 cents, to $23.13 from $23.03, the biggest monthly gain since 2008. This means that those with jobs have made a bit more money.

Hound has a database of jobs that come directly from the employer's website. It has found about 115,000 jobs nationwide in the last seven days, out of which health sector covers about 22,000 + jobs, while there are 9000 + jobs in Information Technology. Manager jobs and retail sector both have over 8000 + jobs.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/08/2011 -- With unemployment rate rising high and a new chunk of job seekers entering the market, the job market scenario has been facing a tough time. Job cuts are prominent not only in retail or manufacturing sector but the virus has also entered the banking sector.

Due to thinning revenues in the financial year 2010 - 2011, Barclays Bank had planned to cut around 3,000 jobs in Europe and United States. Moreover, European Bank HSBC also has plans to fire around 30,000 employees worldwide by 2013, the hotspots being the United States.

For streamlining itself, 195 HSBC retail banking branches in the United States will be sold to First Niagara Bank for just about US$1 billion. Most of these branches are in upstate New York, while six are in Connecticut. The bank is preparing not only for laying off workforce, but also to bring down the payrolls to stabilize the constantly disappointing revenues.

President and Director of HSBC USA Inc, Irene Dorner, showed the employees a silver lining on the dark clouds. She said, even after selling its upstate retail branches HSBC will continue to employ more than 4,000 people in western New York.

With the scenario getting worse around the nation, Standard Chartered emerges as a hope for the finance sector. It is planning to add around 2,000 people globally this year. But this doesn't do any better to the worsening scenario in the United States.

Hound does a lot to set things on track. It gathers jobs directly from employer websites and has found almost 13,000 + jobs in the finance service sector nationwide in the last fifteen days.

Federal official say that last year at least $17 billion in benefits were given out to people who were not eligible for it.

Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/05/2011 -- State governments are increasingly waking up to the fact of major unemployment insurance fraud and are launching investigations.

Federal official say that last year at least $17 billion in benefits were given out to people who were not eligible for it. This includes people who were never eligible for the benefits and people who kept getting checks even after finding work.

States are now coming up with unique strategies to get stop people from abusing the system. Rhode Island has hired a collection agency to get back incorrectly paid payments. It also has four investigators to track down the scammers. Since 2008, the state has lost $33 million in overpayments.

Georgia, Utah, New Jersey, Colorado, and Ohio are collaborating to stop the benefits scam. They have created a web-based system through which they can share information about unemployment insurance with states, employers, and other agencies.

Some of the people who were caught cheating the system have said that they were desperate or did not know the rules properly. The high underemployment rate is also considered one of the reasons for at least some of the fraud.

Hound, a job search engine, gathers jobs directly from employer websites and has found almost 150,000 jobs nationwide in the last seven days.
