Economic uncertainty, off shoring, deflation and outsourcing are some of the challenges faced by people looking for a career change. A lot of counsellors are clueless about the job scenarios since they haven’t seen a situation like this before. Experienced applicants are finding it difficult too; leave aside the newly graduated professionals. The companies want to pick the best of the lot and hence there is a lot more to just formal interviews. The background as well as the experience of the candidate plays an instrumental role in the society today.

A few states had analogous minimum wage laws, but the Federal law has made minimum wage hike across the board. Businesses may have the last word on support for a wage increase, leading to increased labor costs. If the increase in the minimum wage impacts meager returns, the businesses may opt to layoff more workers. With the current recessive economy, it wouldn’t be ideal to lose jobs. Raising the lowest rate can add some money into the pockets of those left with jobs.
