Well, to non-economists like us, a growing economy sounds like an indication of more jobs. Reports are that the gross domestic product (GDP), a broad measure of U.S. economic activity, grew to 2.6% during the third quarter of this year, up from 2.5% in the second quarter. And, experts seem to indicate that economic growth, means more commerce, means more jobs. This is about as far as we dare go with explaining the meaning of GDP and the complexities of determining economic growth. What we're reading about this latest quarterly number, is that some economists still see a need for more growth to really affect the employment numbers. Others see this as a positive trend going into 2011.
We say, run with the good news. Take the optimistic approach and take that attitude into your search for employment. If the economy is growing, so are your opportunities. Go out there and get your job.
