Job market tough

Spring Brings a few more jobs to Frederick



There are actually a few construction jobs, I didn't expect to see any from the constant bombardment of the media with respect to Wall Street's reaction to the stimulus plan.

The Frederick News Post has a total of 68 Full Time Job Openings, at least 3 of which are the FNP looking to hire (wondering how much they're offering since they announced cost cutting measure of dropping the Monday edition)

The Frederick Gazzette has a total of 28 Full Time Job Openings, and some of those are Montgomery County and even Prince Georges County.

It's becoming apparent that the newspaper is not where you'll find all the best job openings. If you do a Google search for employment opportunities in Frederick Maryland you will find jobs that aren't listed in the paper!

Lawyers apply for a $30,000 (fake) job

You know the job market for lawyers has to be tough if there are actually applicants for a $30,000 a year position. An attorney in New York posted the "job" on Craigslist, making it sound like the worst lawyer job ever. It was listed as a job with a firm in midtown Manhattan, a salary of $30,000, and a whole bunch of restrictions.

The "job" required 12-hour days, six days a week, offered no health insurance, required work on holidays. Also notable was the fact that the position offered three days of sick leave and five days of vacation, all of which could only be taken in January and February. The reason? The attorney needed to be available to fill in for all the partners when they took time off.

According to the Gazzette, the City of Frederick's budget deficit is right around $1,000,000.

In the final weeks leading up to the anticipated unveiling of Frederick city's fiscal 2010 budget, Mayor W. Jeff Holtzinger said that he and the city's budget staff are still working to chip away at a deficit.

Holtzinger (R) would not give an exact figure for the deficit; he did say that it started out proportionate to the county's $24 million deficit in January. (The county has since reduced its deficit to $7 million, according to the latest budget figures.)

"I won't say [the exact number] because it's always changing as we try to get it down to 0," Holtzinger said. "It's not the exact number [as the county's] — but it's proportionate.
"

Frederick city's $83.1 million budget is significantly smaller than the county‘s $461 million budget, but a proportionate deficit would figure to about $4.3 million.
