It is considerably difficult to find a job here in the USA, atleast where I am at. I have to take into consideration just where to look for work because while I can drive, I just got my permit and so my husband or someone else would have to chaffeur me until I can get my license, and even then with only one car we'd have to figure something out. That's why I am online, as it's easier, but I do need a real job as it pays more.

Yes far easier but no one will live by it. We all need real life jobs to survive, internet is only to get an extra income

The recession really had a big impact with our nation's economy. But after two years, the economy has already started recovering. As for my job, I did not lose it but I haven't recieved an increase in my salary for 3 years already. Our company seems to be using the "recession excuse" for too long. I am saving up a money reserve that will last for 3-6 months. I am planning to leave my job very soon because our company seems to have no plans in increasing our salary. I guess I need to move on and find a better paying one.

Here in belgium it's easy to get a job as a student. People here like youngster because of their enthusiasm and will to give it their all. especialy in the horeca business, much money to earn there but hard work also.

It's hard to get a job when you're not experience in you field. In my country, 23 years old can get the jobs after they graduated university. But If you're not experience, It's hard to find a good job.

We were not affected so much affected by the global crisis and the stock market quotes prove that. It's also not that hard to get a job, the only hard thing is finding a job that pays well. We (medical staff) never get paid for what we're worth.
