Hi all,
I am wondering if you could give me some guidance on this matter as I am a HR analyst from Asia. My husband wants to go back to the US and with the current economy being what it is, I wonder how job market for HR is currently. My original background is actuarial science with 3 years in insurance R&D and 3 in HR as Compensation & Benefit analyst/specialist. My husband is seeking to relocate back to the US and would like to be back in Michigan/Indiana area. Do you think that now is the right time to return to the US or should I stay put where I am where my job is secured? Thanks. |

I don't have much advice, but Michigan in general terms, is not a good place to look for work right now.
Have you heard of the problems the automotive industry is having? More lay-offs coming as GM is talking about idling the factories until inventory is absorbed - something like 15 weeks or more. That alone will ripple through more than just the Michigan area. That said, people are still being hired, but I am not very familiar with the job market in those states. I do know it is tough in Nevada. |

There are HR jobs out there, but the competition of them is pretty tough. Having multiple skills is an asset that could help. You can also run a three-pronged job search when increase your chance of landing one. With a diverse background you might also get some consulting work. Marc is right however about Michigan having a high unemployment rate currently.
Good luck |

I live in New York and I can tell you that things are still a bit tough here. There are jobs opening up, but the competition for them is fierce.
I'd suggest maybe waiting just a few more months until jobs reappear, as it looks like our economy is beginning to turn the page. Hope everything works out for the best! |
