Fortune 100 Companies that are HIRING
5.1 million jobs were lost nationwide since the recession began, everywhere from technological corporations like Northrup Grumman to fast food chains like McDonald’s. With the current unemployment rate the highest it has been since your dad used to pack his lunch and head off to the steel mill during the Carter administration, it is easy to become one of those “discouraged workers” they talk about that do not factor into the unemployment rate.
As of the middle of April, some Fortune 100 companies have over 150 openings. Yes, a lot of big companies are cutting their work forces. In fact, some of the companies that are hiring are also cutting jobs at the same time. The point is not that they can hire. It’s what they can hire. After a good look at the top 100 of this year’s Fortune 500 list, at least 28 are hiring with at least 150 job openings.
Wal-Mart is hiring to fill new locations. They are hiring executives in their Bentonville, Arkansas office, local store managers, human resource managers, pharmacists, local customer service associates, and cashiers. Look for a “Super Wal-Mart” or a brand new Wal-Mart that just opened.
Okay, this one sounds a little hokey based on the article just posted here yesterday about Hewlett-Packard cutting manufacturing jobs, but during those cuts, HP is also hiring. They are looking for information technology (IT) professionals, human resource managers, research and development executives, marketing professionals, financiers and administrators. The key here is that they are trying to cut back on manufacturing payroll because sales are down. They are hiring for higher level and development jobs because they understand that in the ever changing technology field, they need the best college educated professionals to help their planning move forward. When the recession is ending, they want to come out on top of the computer business with some of the best products and services to blow their competition right out of the way. If you put in a résumé and get that job, you are looking at a long-term job that will help HP come back on top and ensure job security until you are telling your grandchildren stories about that old recession of 2008.
Positions are available with Bank of America in several areas including consumer banking, small business banking, credit cards, home loans, global banking, wealth management, technology, human resources, finance, communications, marketing and administration. Now that they are in much better shape, the job offers are out there again. They are expanding, hoping they can raise even more business capital and come out ahead in the banking game and do it early.
State Farm Insurance is hiring new insurance agents. There are positions in a variety of areas including claims and underwriting, finance, accounting and legal. The company aims to add 800 to 1000 new agent positions across the country, specifically in the Northeast, Texas and California.
Other companies hiring for similar positions include Wellpoint, Boeing, Microsoft, MetLife, UPS, Medco Health Solutions, Lowe’s, Time Warner, Sears, Supervalu, Johnson Controls, GMAC, Comcast Cable, Northrup Grumman, Coca-Cola, New York Life Insurance, Aetna, Motorola, Abbott Laboratories, General Dynamics, Prudential Financial, Humana, Liberty Mutual, and HCA. Interestingly enough, a lot of the areas that companies are hiring in correlate perfectly with an article that I wrote earlier this month. See The Most Financially Productive Areas to Live for more on that.

I believe that this world wide recession is simply due to one thing. More and are:
1. rich people that keep the money and do not inject it back into society so that it can keep on moving.
2.The other factor that comes to mind is the fact that every day there are more criminals, so theere are more jailed people that you have to give food and pay employment ( more taxes for criminals )
3.World Wide industrialization that takes away humanly tasks that provided with steady jobs.
They are of course many more reasons, but these are the ones i think that affect the most.
Dont you agree with me ?
Yes sir, I entirely agree with all of the above, but I think it might be a bit narrow. We do have a bit of a problem with jail overcrowding, especially in places like Miami and LA. It is true that we have to feed them all, plus the prisons are equipped with full gyms, cable and internet, etc. However, I do not think that irresponsible government spending actually created this. I would cite corporate greed, profiteering, corrupt investors’ actions, and so many more things. Mix that with a housing market that has horrible sub-prime mortgages in which folks bought houses when the truth is they could barely afford the garage alone. It is impossible to narrow down the abundant reasons all of this has occured, but you are certainly on the right track.
Yes, this is a bad recession, the worst since Carter, but there are jobs to be found if you are lucky enough to be in the medical field or you don’t mind retail. There is a lot of finger pointing going on as to the real problem that caused this recession to happen in the first place, and very little focus on job creation. Small business hires about 60% to 70% of the work force. Create an environment that is small business friendly, and the unemployment rate will drop.
