Employment Trend Implications

Unemployment is continuing to trend higher, much higher. So, what does that mean for us in the U.S. and worldwide? I believe it means, “fasten your seat belt, we will be in for a bumpy ride!”

But more specifically, what does it mean to us personally?

• If I am unemployed, is it getting easier or harder to get a job?
• If I am employed, is my job at risk
• If I am employed, am I seeing more or less promotional opportunities?
• If I am self-employed, is making sales getting easier or harder?
• If a small business, is your revenue base safe? Are you growing or concerned?
• For those in MLM programs, you may be seeing a surge in recruitment but are you seeing customer growth and retention?
• For those considering buying a franchise or business, is this the right time?

What trend are you seeing in the next twelve months? Is life getting easier or more competitive?
