NEW JERSEY HAS GOOD NEWS TO REPORT ON JOBS:

Regarding New Jersey's economy. As recently as August 2012, the Garden State's unemployment rate, a crucial economic indicator, stood at 9.7% approximately where it had stagnated for two years. But since then, the rate has steadily declined, dropping in November, 2013 to a five year low of 7.8%. It's good news, but before we send up the balloons, the rate is still too high. New Jersey lags behind the National unemployment rate of 7%, and ranks 42nd in percentage employed, compared to other states. That's not a glowing review, but it is improving and that's good news. Job growth in New Jersey is being fueled by many business sectors. As data from the state indicates, skills in demand, range from blue collar to top management. Many New Jersey companies are hiring.
