In December
2008, US unemployment rates soared to more than 7 percent for the first time
this century. Unemployment rates continued to skyrocket, cresting at 10 percent
in October 2009, according to data from the
US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
More than
four years later, unemployment rates are still struggling. In April 2013, the
number remained above 7 percent. However, advances in communication technology
and slowly improving employment numbers have shaped a new job landscape that is
simultaneously laced with opportunity, and riddled with new challenge.
