Jobs, Jobs and Jobs !!!

I have not seen anyone posting in the past few months about losing their job, is it picking back up or is everyone just moving to OZ/Canada?

A few people and myself were talking about which industries are picking up and which ones were ready to take off in the next couple of years. It seems the trades/construction is the unanimous number one pick for regrowth due to its horrible decline over the last 5 or so years. Next followed the Green Industries, Healthcare, Banking/Finance, Funeral Services, Logistics/Transportation, Supply Chain Management, IT, Energy and Agriculture in no particular order.

What positions/industries do you see employment growth in the next 3-7 years?

QuoteFuneral Services,

Is demand rising here? I would have thought this one of the most stable industries.

Definitely Green Industrys and recycling. Mechanical engineering and electrical both going well at minute from what I see, even know I'd say mechanical has prob peaked. Mostly for export obviously. IT is still a big area. But more so on the programming rather than technical support.

Can you not just freeze the cadavers and bury them in Spring when demand is less?

Would like to see the books on how that 27 million payment to Kildare County Council is spent.

This is the planning end of things sorted, but Intel sales are not buoyant so securing the plant is a further step.

with the changing weather and heavier snow falls i'm surprised nobody is setting up some kind of snow removal service for the winter months? Quad with a plough, a pickup truck with a plough. They are charging $100 - $150 an hour here for shop car parks and some lads doing people drives for $50 at a time. Nice wee add on business for any landscaping company or company that slows down in winter....

solar has really exploded in america so green technology and construction is definitely on the rise
