It's the worst job market in decades, start a new business?!?!
Posted by Kevin Micalizzi on Mon, Jan 12, 2009 @ 02:52 PM
It’s been called the biggest job crisis of the last half-century (Worst year for jobs since '45, CNN), a head-numbing economic freefall that seems to have no end.
With the jobless rate climbing to 7.2 percent in December 2008 (Jobless rate jumps to 7.2 percent in December, MSNBC), a growing number of unemployed workers are thinking now is the time to set out on their own. Even those with jobs are contemplating exit strategies in this increasingly uncertain job market.
This post isn't to announce a new business venture, rather it's to help those interested in taking a more entrepreneurial approach in addressing these troubling economic times. We've partnered with Sramana Mitra and Simply Hired to organize a free webinar where Sramana will discuss all aspects of entrepreneurship. For those who don't yet know Sramana, she's a successful entrepreneur, Forbes columnist, and author of Entrepreneur Journeys (more on her bio page).
This free webinar is at 11 a.m. PST (2 p.m. EST) Wednesday Jan. 14. To learn more and register:
