Is There a Reason to Be Concerned?

Is this a new job market? Do you, the job seeker need to be concerned?

In a way, this is a question similar to the one being asked about Global Warming. We know the weather is different, but is it cyclical or does it represent a major change.

It has moved during our 228 year history\7.6 generations from agricultural -> Industrial -> Service -> Information. Each economic transition has imposed massive changes at every level of our society and culture. Apparently, we are in the midst of such a shift. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since 2001 approximately 2.9 million private sector jobs have been lost, many permanently. Forrester Research estimates that by 2015 an additional 3.3 million service jobs will disappear due to overseas outsourcing and technology replacement. There obviously is a cause for concern.

What is important is that as job searchers we must adapt or lose out. Protection electromagnetic radiation
