Going Global
Job skills may be more important than job titles come 2008. According to John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, those who can speak another language or who have lived in other countries will be highly sought by companies interested in going global.
"If you're a small manufacturer, and you wanted to grow your business overseas — and as a small manufacturer, the weak U.S. dollar might help you a bit — you might say I need to hire people to count on to manage relationships I'm starting with customers in South America or suppliers in China," said Challenger.
On the flip side, international tourism is growing in the U.S., which means that so is the hospitality field. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the hospitality and leisure sectors plan on adding 1.9 million jobs between 2006 and 2016.
