Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Certain job markets may increase in 2009 especially with a new president and administration. With president-elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus policies, new job trends will most likely appear, according to Jobfox, an online career site. Obama hopes to establish or keep 2.5 million working positions during the next two years.

Jobfox provides Obama's top plans with the significant jobs:

-- Building of roads, bridges, transit and rural broadband: Increased positions include construction managers, project managers, civil engineers or telecommunications engineers.

-- Improved supervision of financial markets: Important jobs include compliance accountants, internal auditors, tax accountants or government regulators.

-- Energy independence: Key positions include electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, power grid managers or biofuels chemists.

-- Health care transformation: Significant jobs include nurses, information technology specialists, bioinformatics specialists or information security specialists.

-- Volunteering: Important positions include social workers, administrators or translators.

"Epic changes are ahead throughout the professional landscape," says Rob McGovern, CEO of Jobfox. "It's like in 1991, when we didn't know the Internet was coming. New job titles will emerge, many of which haven't been invented yet. Savvy professionals will be prepared to take advantage of new opportunities."

WHERE DOES THE SUNSHINE COME FROM??
AS ONE WHO LIVES , WORKS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST I KNOW OH TO WELL THAT FOR THE PRICE OF A CUP OF JOE . EMPLOYERS WILL OVER STATE THEIR ROSEY CONDITION AND BLOW SUNSHINE AT ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT THEM TO LONG . LIKE A DYING PATIENT UNABLE TO DEAL WITH THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND CHANCES FOR RECOVERY . MOST ARE AFRAID THAT THE COMPETITION WILL GET AN EDGE AND WANT TO AVOID HOSTLE TAKE OVERS AND SO ON . MOST COLLEGE GRADS IN MY AREA MUST EITHER OPEN THEIR OWN OFFICE AFTER PAYING FOR THEIR EDUCATION . BECAUSE THE MARKET IS SATURATED WITH MANY CAREER PROFESSIONALS SUCH AS . MEDICAL DOCTOR , LAWYER JUST TO NAME A FEW , INTERN POSSITIONS ARE SCARCE . SO MOST OF THESE GRAD STUDENTS MUST LEAVE HERE AND THAT WAS ALWAYS THE WAY SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE , SOME 47 YEARS . NOW EVEN COLLEGE GRADS CAN NOT EVEN FIND A JOB AT ANY OF OUR MANY FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS . YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SPOKANE , WA . IS IN THE WORLD BOOK OF RECORDS FOR HAVING THE MOST . FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS PER SQUARE FOOT IN THE WORLD TO DATE .
SO BEWARE OF ANY SUN SHINE SALESMAN YOU MIGHT MEET .
