Work At Home Information

The other day I saw story about how unemployment was really at 22.1%. That’s counting the ranks of the unemployed the way they used to, you know, back before they got all fancy about it and decided that if you were out of work but were fed up with looking that you no longer counted! To put this in historical context, during the Great Depression, the unemployment rate rose as high as 24.9 percent. With numbers like these, and the staggering rate of foreclosures across the nation, it is not a stretch to call the current economic downturn the Great Depression II.

Ok, so we know we’re in another economic depression, similar to the one that devastated our nation during the 1930’s. What do we do about it?  The answer is that we have to get a little creative and stop thinking of full time employment in the traditional sense as the cure to what ails us as a nation and individually. We have to think less in terms of landing a “job” and more in terms of starting businesses for ourselves.

Advertise Your Best Skills

Most anyone who has been in the workforce or has gone to school has developed a few skills along the way. Those skills haven’t gone away just because you no longer have a job and can’t find another. For example, if are an accountant, you can open up your own accounting business. If you were a paralegal, you can offer a legal document preparation service. These are just two examples. There are many other skills that everyday people have that can turn you from unemployed to self-employed.
