Unemployment tops 20% in California

Unemployment tops 20% in eight California counties

The state's jobless rate of 12.5% in January was its worst on record and fifth-highest in the nation.
For many California areas, unemployment rates moved persistently higher in January, indicating that the national economic recovery hasn't yet translated into jobs for the Golden State.

New county-by-county figures released by the state Wednesday showed that in eight counties, more than 1 in 5 people were out of work. Moreover, revised numbers for last year show that fewer people were employed than was previously believed.

The state was one of five, along with Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, that reached their highest unemployment rates since the government began keeping track in 1976, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. California's was 12.5% in January, up from 12.3% in December.

This is just a small piece of some of our local news articles. As I attend our Job Fairs providing resume critiquing, the jobseekers share their stories with me and so many of them have been unemployed for over a year. Many of them are in desperate need of cover letters and resumes, I feel bad saying this, but some of them look like a text message.
 
With the unemployment rate the way it is, you honestly need to seek a resume writing service that can provide you with the quality to bring you to the top at any interview. Many resume writing services charge prices that are out of this world and you only receive just that... A resume through your email as an attachment... I have check other companies myself, and I am angry at these companies for taking advantage of the jobseeker. They have NO money, but they just don't care.
