Furthermore, the number of reluctant part-time workers, because they could not find a full time job, <strong>rose by 200,000<\/strong>. This means that the <strong>total number of U.S. workers who are either unemployed or underemployed<\/strong> (<em>i.e. involuntarily working part-time or just giving up and as a result not being reported<\/em>) <strong>reached 23,200,000 or a gain of 400,000 over April<\/strong>.

As a result, I launched the largest, non-profit, professional SEO group in the Chicago area with almost 600 members. Our main objective is to explore cutting-edge SEO techniques. On <strong>Saturday, August 4th starting at 10:30 a.m. at 200 S. Wacker<\/strong> we will host our first ever symposium devoted to analysis of one\u2019s online presence. Two major goals are: a) to evaluate one\u2019s Internet footprint (<em>or lack thereof<\/em>) and b) to suggest improvements. These techniques can significantly increase a job seeker\u2019s chances of getting noticed by prospective hiring companies and being hired.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about this topic, attend our upcoming symposium or to interview Mr. Sargis about his expertise on jobs, careers and workplace issues, please call 312-944-4000 or e-mail ssargis@strategicsearch.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0BLS reported two alarming statistics today: a) paltry jobs creation and b) a spike in Americans involuntarily working part time.
