Is there a bright side to unemployment? For some maybe it doesn't seem that way but for others, most definitely there is. And that would be small business owners who are in need of good quality people.

In times of higher than normal layoffs and downsizing by some businesses, these laid off workers and executives become available to small business often at a cost that is much lower than in prosperous times. Now is the time to go shopping for good staff !

We have that exact situation happening here. There has been a large influx of some amazing people in recent months and many of them are lowering their salary requirements just to get back in the job market. You could save 10s of thousands of dollars right now in wages and related costs.

It is all part of the normal economical cycle, when there is an abundance of supply, prices go down. Works the same for employees.

And, look at it this way. It is never as bad as the fear mongers make it out to be.

Flourish and prosper.
