Looking for a new job, and have been since april. Supposedly the recession is over but from where i sit jobs are thin on the ground, wages have gone down, everything is getting more expensive. And come the new year a lot more expensive. So anyone like to guess when there will be a improvement in the jobs market?

What industry and job you looking for. Seems ok in mine – Project Management. I hope it continues till after new year as I’m out of work come feb.

I have been unemployed for 6 weeks now.

I did have an interview last week which I am waiting to hear back from another one tomorrow and another one on Thursday. I would love to have a job offer or two before Christmas and my 40th birthday 🙂

As noted above by seven a lot depends on your industry, type of work you are looking for and where you live in the country.
