How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America
"The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is
probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life
course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an
indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an
institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner
cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp
our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to
come."

(guest blogger - Dr. Daphne Houston)
" Many federal job seekers think their federal job search starts when they
get on the main federal job board, USAjobs.com. But if you don't have a
federal background, your job search should start before you get to the job
board, so you know what to look for - whether you find a job that fits on
USAjobs or not. "
