I'm just wondering if its as bad in your area as it is here to try and find a summer job. My dd has 1 more semester of college and desperately needs a summer job to help pay expenses. With gas prices so high she will have to find something local because she can't afford on minimum wage to drive...

I just finished reading Ashley's post about her second job (congrats!) and I was curious how many of us work two jobs? What kind of work do you do and are your hours crazy? I work in home health care and will be starting a second job tomorrow working with developmentally disabled adults. After...

i have never worked for a place where people find the little issue make it into a big issue and then CC the bosses ( immediate and director ) when they ask why it happened- when you answer why it was done - because what you did was right to do - you never hear about it again . its...

I am breathing a sigh of relief right now. After nearly a year of unemployment, my oldest son found a job. Its min. wage, but at least he's working....and my second oldest, after nearly 3 months of unemployment found work, but won't start until September.... I am soooo thankful that its something.

outlook in this recessionary economy and beyond Decided to post this article here in hopes that it may help someone who may be considering going back to school, or is considering which career path to chose. Not surprised, but disappointed that construction is NO WHERE on this list. Very...

First, sorry if this isn't posted in the correct place. Here's my situation. I already work a full time job, so does my hubby. We have 2 young children. We already live as green & frugally as possible. We are a no-frills kind of family- not because we've HAD to be, but because we are teaching...

FYI: If you're looking for a part time or supplemental income try taking the test to apply for being a census worker. the better you do on the test the more likely you are to get a supervisor position and start working sooner. supervisor positions start soon and regular positions start around...

I saw a report on the news that said they are having a hard time filling positions for the upcoming census...if you or anybody you know needs a job tell them to get ahold of the census bureau...starting pay is $12. + per hour!!! I know the jobs are temporary, but with our unemployment rate you...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I am going to try to help a friend of mine find a job in New York. She has decided that a major life change is in order and wants to commmit to her BF and move out there. She has worked in a Prison as a corretional officer for the last twelve...

Whether it's a main job or a second or part time job, what are some free or cool, useful perks that come with a job? Some people are going back to the workforce or need to get a second or part time job. Some jobs might offer some great perks even if the pay isn't excellent. So I thought we...

Frugality and thrift are far from the predominant mindsets in our culture, even among the multitudes of people who are taking control of their finances and paying down debt. In times past (the Great Depression comes to mind), "thrift" was seen as a virtue, but not so much anymore. Frugality...

I just found out a place in our community is shutting its doors. This I know is not uncommon now. The workers will get unemployment, at least the ones that can. The business is fileing bankruptcy to pay off outstanding bills and then they will call the employees back but at a lower wage than hat...

We had to lay off our salesmen. We tried to hang on as long as we could, but with people not buying anything, the income is just not coming in. I feel horrible, I know they aren't going to find work around here for awhile. I'm praying this ecomony picks up quick.

I was curious if the current economy has spurred part time jobs. Between you and your spouse or SO, do you have part time jobs? How many? What do you do? Did you begin your part time job before or after the economic meltdown? Do either of you also have full time jobs? Any advantages to...

Not sure how to word the title for this, but curious where the layoffs are happening in your area....... Recent layoffs, closings here include ... A factory that builds houses closing, 45 out of work. A factory that buys logs, now not buying logs, and cutting hours. Another factory that...

Here's my situation, we have a serious cash flow problem due to bills that were created before we were married and the fact that our area has a high cost of living. I will admit that we made mistakes because we went a long time without really talking about $ but now I am ready to get it...
