Doostang's 25,000+ New Job Postings
According to an email from Doostang.com, there are more than 25,000 new job postings on their sites. It's good to see that at least some people are hiring.A lot of industries have been hit, but there are still a lot of industries going strong. For instance, there is never any job that is recession-proof, but there are jobs and careers that do better than others in hard times. For instance, education, health-care and energy are all jobs that can appear to be "recession-proof."
According to this email from Doostang, it states that there are jobs from Morgan Stanley, Disney, Microsoft, Gap, Nike and Genentech. Well, in my mind, I am sure they have already cut some senior people to save some money, so therefore, the people they are hiring are probably relatively low-mid level employees. So if you're in that level in your life, then these positions might be worth taking a look.
Also, while looking at these postings - don't be afraid to RELOCATE!

Flood of Unemployment Claims Overload New York’s System
Bad news people... via Daily Intel (at NY Mag) via ABC:
"New York's unemployment claims systems have crashed, overwhelmed by tens of thousands of jobless New Yorkers trying to call or log in at once ahead of this week's filing deadline. State labor department officials say the problem started Monday and caused the phone banks at the state's toll-free claims center to shut down, followed by the online filing system ... Technicians are trying to bring the systems back online Tuesday afternoon but officials couldn't say when they'll be back up and available."
