AP- Future hiring will mainly benefit the high-skilled

From AP, via Yahoo News


Whenever companies start hiring freely again, job-seekers with specialized skills and education will have plenty of good opportunities. Others will face a choice: Take a job with low pay — or none at all.

Job creation will likely remain weak for months or even years. But once employers do step up hiring, some economists expect job openings to fall mainly into two categories of roughly equal numbers:

• Professional fields with higher pay. Think lawyers, research scientists and software engineers.

• Lower-skill and lower-paying jobs, like home health care aides and store clerks.

Same with "too many skills".

Ask me how I know.

:-(

I'm betting I know already, but you told me to ask.

But I don't because IMO it's just as much a lie as embellishing.

parties who threw the Middle Class under the bus,
while breaking their backs(Congress) to make it
easy for the Multinationals to go about the world
seeking the cheapest labor.

Softwear Engineers????? How many horror stories have
we read about HI TECH Workers having to train their
cheaper replacements from overseas????

Ask them how many H-1b visas they handed out this month?

At least AP is beginning a little truthiness.

In other words Middle Class you are on your own.

Want to make a guess how large our permanent underclass
will be as we form the tier society of by gone days.

If you have no qualms about laughing at "Doing unto others as you would do unto me" you can always find a job ripping people off. Seems like every job opening I see lately requires that mindset first and foremost.

Def: Every day 50% of the people get up and figure out how they can make money by ripping off the other 50%.

I'd say 2% and 98% is more like it.

Always throwing the term "skilled" around and using it in a nebulous ambiguous fashion; tailor-made to exclude the the icky hoi-polloi.

Nuclear certified welder? Unskilled or "semi-skilled" to them. Same for the guys that fly/drive, and fix our planes and trains. The list goes on.

Who, to this bunch of pinstriped pinheads are "highly skilled"?. As long as they have MBA's and exist in sinicures with the required 18 degrees of separation from anything remotely tangible, let alone usable. BS jobs like "marketing managers" and such. Bullshit jobs were/are such a growth industry, the genre has a life of its own: http://www.harpercollins.com/books/100-Bullshit-Jobs-How-Get-Them-Stanley-Bing/?isbn=9780060734794

It's just a club of smug pricks to solidify their own position....and you and I are not in it.

and welcome to DU.

Decreases their salaries? I keep harping on how illegal immigration depresses wages but people accept the premise that they take jobs Americans don't want. Americans protest the low wages these jobs pay by not taking them. So corporations fill them with illegal labor and justify it by saying Americans don't want those jobs instead of paying a livable wage.

Why spend money on education when these socialist European, Indian and Chinese socialist governments do it for us?
