Bernie Frazier, SPHR is the Founder and President of CAREERCompass, LLC, a speaking and career coaching firm in St. Louis, MO.

While the latest unemployment figures for the U.S. remain bleak overall, the fact that there’s been a drop to 8.6% overall unemployment in the past couple of months is a good sign.  However, 8.6% unemployment still means that almost 13,000,000 U.S. adults are not employed. 

But, wait!  There’s a silver lining….for some. 

If you have at least a bachelor’s degree, the numbers are much better.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) November report, the unemployment rate for workers with at least a bachelor’s degree is only 4.4% – yes, just 4.4%!! 

So, if this is you, there’s a good chance that employment is coming your way soon.  If you read back through my earlier blog posts and apply what you read, 2012 employment should be yours! 

Happy hunting! 

Until next time….
