Jobs

Is New Jersey the new Silicon Valley?  Not quite. But technology job openings in the Garden State are on the rise. As a result, the state is a major player in luring tech talent.

Throughout the past generation, American women were entering the workplace in surging numbers, but since 1990 that number has remained stagnant - with no clear reason as to why.

A new Citi/Seventeen magazine survey finds a growing number of college kids in New Jersey and across the country are working at least part time while they're attending school.

What’s the point of a college degree if you’ll never be happy at work? According to a new report from Gallup Education, college graduates are the least likely to be enthusiastic about their jobs.

Garden State business leaders warn of very bad things to come if voters approve a ballot question this November that would amend the constitution to increase the state's minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $8.25 and then adjust it annually based on the rate of inflation.

Many economists see improvements in summer teen hiring this coming season versus previous years.

Employers would be wise to expect a drop in worker output over the next week or two.

Back in February, I wrote a post about a guy who put his entire resume on a candy bar wrapper.

A few weeks later I received a call from a Today Show producer who read the article and invited me up to 30 Rock to talk about it.

In these difficult economic times, just getting a job interview can sometimes be as challenging as getting the job itself.

You might not love going to work everyday, but hopefully you like (at least part of) what you do. I love my job, but it would be fun to see what other people do during the day. What if you could trade jobs with someone for a day? I've definitely thought about it. So who would it be?
