Oodles of Jobs

As we all know, the economy is in pretty terrible shape and the U.S. Government Stimulus Package may help to keep it from getting worse. To that end, we thought everyone would find this article from Yahoo of
interest, “Stimulus Job Watch: Collected Tips and Opportunities for Job Seekers“

There’s a good bit of information in it about sectors that are being stimulated:

• Money has been released by HUD for energy efficieny projects (maybe now is the time to start a small scale home improvement company?)
• Wind Energy had a big bump up in funding
• Big-money transportation projects were announced in Maryland, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, California, and Colorado (perhaps the construction firms there are hiring?)
• There is a $4 million piece going to the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which includes funding for adult employment and training activities and training for jobs in high-growth and emerging industry sectors.
