With this prolonging recession, it is hard not to know someone who has lost their job or had their hours and pay cut. I myself have had to deal with this situation recently too. It doesn't help that many business owners and managers are not well adept to dealing with the economic pressures and therefore take out their frustrations on coworkers and employees.

Tough times? Yes. Is there something we can do about it? Absolutely.

Here are a few great kindle books available on getting a job, career changes and finding the labor of love we call work. Happy Labor Day everyone!
