Social Media and Reemployment
With U.S. unemployment hovering near 10%, jobseekers are increasingly turning to their social networks for job leads, employer information, and moral support. A brief scan of the blogosphere results in wealth of advice for the unemployed, with topics ranging from a grounding in social media etiquette to the tangible steps jobseekers can take to create a strong brand using web 2.0 technologies.
In his Personal Branding blog for Business Week, Dan Schawbel, author of Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success, argues that LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging are much better tools for finding jobs that speak to a jobseeker's unique passions and interests as compared to the traditional job board. Skip Job Boards and Use Social Media Instead by Dan Schawbel http://www.businessweek.com/managing/content/jul2009/ca20090728_587107.htm

Green Collar Workers, and other Mythical Creatures
Labor market analysts have to cut through the fog of overlapping, conflicting and even nonsensical uses of the terms “green jobs” and “green collar workers” before they can give valid and reliable counts of workers employed in them, provide employment demand growth estimates and identify the requisite KSAs for green employment (as opposed to employment in their non-green predecessors). This monograph explores the myths and mysteries of green collar jobs and offers an action agenda to aid workforce professionals in understanding and implementing job training requirements imposed by Title X of the Green Jobs Act of 2007.
