Despite the bleak statistics, some sectors are actually showing growth, including government, education, healthcare and technology. “This year we’re expanding in all areas,” said Eric Scharf, a spokesman for Cell Signaling Technology. “There are senior scientists, research scientists, product developers. We’re also growing in the support areas, which include information technology, legal, marketing, sales, customer service, and all other areas which support the core business.”

Employment opportunities also vary depending on where you live in the U.S.. “In terms of regions, the strongest job performance has been in the South. They have the lowest unemployment rate now. The highest unemployment rate is in the Midwest, and that’s primarily because of the exposure to manufacturing in the Midwest,” explained Gilliam.

Major metropolitan cities, including New York, Dallas, Houston and Seattle have some of the lowest rates of unemployment. Job seekers first and foremost should focus on developing their own skills and professional education. For college-educated individuals the unemployment rate is just two percent. The more skills and education you have, the better opportunity you will have to find work.
