Steven Greenhouse, labor reporter for The New York Times and author of The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker, talks about whether job retraining works in a down economy.

“I think, you know, when unemployment is rising, if you have the money, go retrain, go get better skills, go back to college. But unfortunately, a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck, and they can't afford to take, you know, six months or a year retraining.

You know, my sense is when you're having problems finding a job, improve your skills. Maybe you won't get a better job six months from now, a year from now, but hopefully, when the economy improves in a year, in two years and four years, that retraining will pay off because you'll be able to get a better job than the one you left."

Career changes result for many reasons, but whatever the cause, it is a well-known fact this transitional phase is one full of emotional turmoil and stress. The degree and intensity of this turmoil however, is truly a personal choice. Let one of our qualified Workforce Development Specialists assist you with your own career transition.
