Again, high unemployment in't part of the definition of a recession. And whether or not you are able to find a job means jack shit for the economy as a whole.
I'm in the non-profit field. Without funding and a good economy there isn't shit. The place I'm at now had a position open I was working towards. Due to the lack of state and federal funding (due to the economy), they eliminated the position and forced the job duties onto other staff, who are already underpaid and overworked, rather than hiring another staff person.


So please ky, tell me again how the economy doesn't affect my job outlook


Shit, clenzy, open up a daycare!

You didn't *directly* say that.

However, the line of statements has made it pretty clear.

The recession is over. The recession was tied to a bad economy. The bad economy was tied to a sudden drop, and in many cases a complete cut, in funding to programs. Lack of funding for programs leads to a lack of money to pay for staff, among hundred of other things.


So, following that same line of thinking.

The recession is over. The recession was tied to a bad economy, however, since the recession is over the economy is now better. A better economy means the funding will return to programs that desperately need the funding. That means that jobs in the non-profit world should be easier to come by, no?


Without an economy that can run without sucking the support away from non-profits, there is very little job outlook for my career path. Unlike those who choose to go into the corporate world, where bailouts seem abundant, the non-profit world (you know, the organizations that actually make a difference in peoples day-to-day lives) can't survive in economic climates like this.

This isn't just the company I'm with either. I can list off non-profits and community organization all across the nation that have suffered twice as bad as the corporate world has.


The economy has a direct impact on the outlook for jobs in this career.
