Good luck to all in finding a job, but you'd better start thinking about how you can strike out on your own to make your own future, rather than waiting on a call or email for a job that likely is simply not there!
Here's a VERY interesting development out of California (hey, isn't that where all trends really start?). And it is a trend that should scare the living bejesus out of any governmental worker at any level (hey, that includes me - OMG!). This is a story out of Maywood, California, a small community that has now outsourced EVERY CITY JOB - even the police and fire departments! Hey, radical times call for radical solutions - but can you see other communities - even states perhaps - make this a trend. We have already seen the federal government come to rely on contractors to a far greater extent than ever before, so will we see this - in all or in part - at the local and state levels as well.
You can also watch a FoxBusiness story on the matter by clicking below:
So, whadya think? Post your comments on the blog and I'll do a follow-up posting that will feature them. In the meantime, by all means, share this blog post with your friends and family. It will especially "Make My Day" for them if they work for any local or state government!
