Unfortunately, not many people are strangers to the downward spiraling economy that began in December 2007 and continued to deplete throughout 2008.

In fact, November 2008 marked some of worst numbers in decades in terms of job loss: The unemployment rate, for example, hit a 14-year high this November at a rate of 6.7 percent. That month also counted 1.9 million jobs lost throughout 2008 alone; two-thirds of those losses occurred in the last three months. The number of unemployed people increased from 10.1 million in October to 10.3 million in November, according to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Since 2007, the number of unemployed people has increased by 3.1 million, and the unemployment rate has gone up by 2 percent. For the 10.3 million currently unemployed people, however, there is hope for some reprieve in 2009.

The labor force is expected to increase by 12.8 million workers over the 2006 -2016 period, according to the BLS. Total employment is expected to increase by 10 percent to 166.2 million over that period as well, while an estimated 15.6 million jobs will be added by 2016. While that year seems like a long way off today, a certain number of new jobs will be added each year leading up to 2016 -- including in 2009.

It should be noted, however, that the jobs that will be added won't be evenly distributed across industries and occupational groups. It goes without saying that changes in consumer demand, technology and the like will continue to affect the economic structure.

Industries that have seen growth since 2007 (according to the most recent data from the BLS) include management, business and financial operations; professional and related occupations; service occupations; sales and office occupations; and installation, maintenance and repair occupations.

The salary figure above is in US$ (so do the math to convert to CDN$). I thought a lot of the jobs listed above make more... except for Pharmacist. But I heard in the States you need to get at least a Master degree to be a Pharmacist unlike in Canada...

You guys may not want to know how much a pastor make ..

Most pastors/rev .. they work in whatever field for many year, before becoming pastor .. as they need to save money for living first ..

Few of my friends, they are pastors now .. thx God .. their wivies have good income job to suport ..

Few of them are (were) engineers .. and now, they make .. ~ 1/5 to 1/4 money ... many were doctors before ..

One of my friend in Toronto .. he just decided back to an engineer now, and as part time pastor .. so he can save money for few more years, + feeding his kids, then he can be full time pastor again ..

Yes .. most pastors "were" quite rich .. as they work very hard in whatever professional .. save money .. then become pastor ..

To be fair .. some pastors/Rev .. they are bad, may steal money from donation, cheating .. etc .. I know some LYK will mention that .. but i am not going to start another fire between ANTI CHRIST vs CHRISTIAN or whatever ..

Even for non christian .. I guess should respect different job field ...

Side topic .. my buddy .. his father is one famous "wind water" guy here ... making very good money .. but according to my buddy .. his father is just "Q up" all the time .. but because of that, his father can feed all of them, and make good money .. when people trust him, and pay him a lots of money for it .. why not? but my buddy always say his father is cheating ..

This list is for people who got laid off last year.
But if you were a doctor, you wouldn't be laid off.
So that's why it's not on the list.

"Here are 25 of the best jobs to look for in 2009, defined as jobs that saw growth in the second half of 2008.*"

I believe it means the growth in number of positions not the income

What do you want to say? Of course, no matter Christians or non-Christians, people should respect different job fields. However, I only see temple priests respect Christians pastors/reverends but don't see the other way round. So?
BTW, are there jobs a Christian shouldn't do? (may need to open a new thread for this)

Open a temple law ..

I guess just like any job for any people .. wont' say who can do or can't do what job jei ..

I am sure many christian / catholic etc sell drug too .. or run casino ..

And many non christian/anti christ be volunteer to help others too ..

Ok .. don't OT la.. back to the 25 best job la.. ( I guess it means best GROWING job )

How about second shop? with bad econ .. more people consider to buy second hand funiture/watches/cloths/bags etc??
