The Labor Department reported Friday that non-farm payrolls jumped 243,000 in February.  As the employment climate tightens up opportunities increase for people who create value.  We are already starting to see the effects of this.  Here is a quote from today’s Wall Street Journal:

John Challenger, chief executive of Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a global outplacement firm based in Chicago, says companies are considering giving signing bonuses to skilled workers, again. Employee poaching is picking up. And employees are being wooed with tuition reimbursement and telecommuting programs. “There’s a war for talent, again,” Mr. Challenger says.

What does this mean for you?  It means that you now have more options than ever.
