Employment News
For the typical American household, income fell during the recession. However, in 21 states and the District of Columbia, households in the middle of the pay scale saw their incomes rise despite the recession based largely on the growth of the federal government, higher energy and agriculture prices, and the rebound on Wall Street. D.C. enjoyed the steepest climb in median income over the past four years, and extended to surrounding Virginia and Maryland, thanks to an increase in government contract work.
Energy-rich states also got a boost in incomes due to higher commodity prices and the drive to extract coal and natural gas from the ground.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
