Some items of note in today’s newspapers:
– “Jobs are out there, even in a bad economy” says the headline in today’s SF Chronicle (the article is syndicated by Newhouse News). It’s a good reminder that there is still plenty of hiring going on, but people have to look closely at segments of the market rather than the big picture.
– The above article also notes that in a good economy, small businesses benefit more. And small businesses do worse in a tough economy (like now); a good example is found in today’s NYT article about struggling entrepreneurs. Read the cautionary tales in “Economy to Entrepreneurs: Turn Back.”
– For a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one tough job, check out “Flying the Unfriendly Skies.” A reporter posed as a flight attendant and offers a unique perspective on the frustration of air travel today.
