Summary- With all of the cutbacks and job loss in the country today, it's hard to maintain a positive attitude. However, as long as you take the time to look into the good side of things and find where good things are happening, you might be able to enjoy optimism. It will be hard, but these tips should help.
Every day, and sometimes every hour, new news stories pop up about who's cutting jobs, where cuts are being made and what it means for the economy. You can't log on to any news or information website or turn on the TV news without hearing or seeing a story about some company, somewhere in the country, cutting jobs. Add that to all the updates about jobless rates and unemployment rising in various cities and states around the U.S. and it can become a very disheartening situation for anyone to live in.
You can't very well ignore the news because it's always important to keep up on what is going on in the world. However, what you can do is to take a minute to accept that these stories will be there and try to look for the good anywhere that you can. News stations and companies aren't that great at reporting the small victories that happen every day, because the big letdowns like corporate downsizing and companies going under is often more important. However, you can find your own small victories as long as you know where to look. Focus on stories that inspire you and talk about people finding jobs or creating new ones. Look at any place that is being created and adding jobs to the economy, because they count big time right now.
Do whatever it takes to find the good in all the bad that's out there, and make sure that you have put yourself in a position to not let the bad get you down. No one likes to see people losing their jobs or lose their own, but it's happening, and all that you can do is try to make the best of it in any way that you can. Whether you choose to find more enlightening news to read, or just try to forget about what's going on around you, you need to make sure that you don't let the job cuts and economic recession get you stressed, depressed, or questioning your security.
No one really has job security right now, but you still shouldn't wander around with the stress on your shoulders of worrying about whether you're going to have a job or not tomorrow, next week, or next month. Just focus on the now, and try to be prepared so that if the worst does happen to you, you're ready for it. Many professionals predict that things won't get back to normal for another 3-5 years or longer, so you might as well get used to it if you can't find ways to tune it out.
Summary- Job loss affects everyone on a large scale, because the economy becomes a little worse with every layoff. However, when it's the Department of Defense cutting jobs, are things going too far? Or do they have too many overpaid employees anyway? Read on to find out more!
When a retail store cuts jobs, it doesn't affect anyone except the store. When they close down, it affects the employees and the customers. When a business cuts back, again it only affects the company itself. However, what happens when the Defense Department starts cutting jobs? Is the country going to be safe? How many cutbacks are too many and will they still be able to protect us?
Everyone knows that the U.S. Department of Defense is one of the biggest and best in the world. Many would argue that it probably is a bit of overkill, but no one really knows for sure. The Pentagon is preparing to cut weapons spending which will put many big-name defense contractors out of a job. Of course, they probably already have enough weapons to take on the world, but without knowing for sure can you really trust that the country is safe? It is highly unlikely that the country will ever be in imminent danger, but it's a little frightening to even have to question. With all of the job cuts going on in the world, this is one of the most serious ones that have happened yet.
The country almost lost its banks, it has lost a lot of great companies, and now it's cutting back its Defense purchases. Whoever thought that this wasn't a serious issue needs to think again. Some people tried to brush the recession under the rug or say that it wasn't a serious issue. However, it's not just small-town Americans losing jobs. The country is being faced with some serious issues that will surely make people realize the significance of the recession that is going on. There isn't any imminent effect on U.S. security or protection due to the cuts by the Department of Defense, but it is surely going to cost some more people their jobs at some point.
It's troubling when you live in a world where so much loss is going on and everyone has to scale back so much. However, it's even more unsettling when the answer to the problem includes cutting the spending of the government and the departments that take care of the U.S. Fortunately, the United States has done a lot to beef up their departments and have probably much more personnel and spending than they could ever need. Therefore, there might be room for cutting costs here, after all. Either way, it's still disheartening to see things like this going on in a country that was once thought to be one of the great powers of the world.
