Galaxy Management Group Blog It's a Great Time To Be Considering Your Next Opportunity

In my 30+ years in the recruitment industry, I don’t believe I have ever seen a job market so set for expansion as this one.  No, it’s not because it’s spring. Whether it’s in an office or remote, there are opportunities everywhere. I can say that after reading the latest monthly BLS analysis, which gives a snapshot of the labor market (including our reaction to the pandemic and the subsequent development of the vaccines currently in distribution), and on the comments that I have received from job seekers like you, some whom have received multiple offers this year.Here's another recent article that validates this prediction:US Leading Economic Index Rises in February, Signaling Recovery Should Pick Up SteamDaily News, March 18, 2021Economic recovery in the US should pick up steam, according to The Conference Board Leading Economic Index for the US. The measure rose 0.2% in February to a level of 110.5.“The US [Leading Economic Index] continued rising in February, suggesting economic growth should continue well into this year,” said Ataman Ozyildirim, senior director of economic research at The Conference Board.  “Indeed, the acceleration of the vaccination campaign and a new round of large fiscal supports are not yet fully reflected in the [Leading Economic Index].  With those developments, The Conference Board now expects the pace of growth to improve even further this year, with the US economy expanding by 5.5% in 2021.”Ozyildirim noted some leading indicators showed signs of weakness amid impacts from bad weather and supply chain disruptions in February, but the effects may prove transitory.In January, the index had risen by 0.5%; December’s increase was 0.4%. And look at the recent closes of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  Just today, Tuesday, March 23rd, the DJIA closed at 32,423.15!So, don’t be distracted by the pandemic noise that seemingly surrounds us for each and every minute of each and every day.  If you want to find your next career opportunity, focus on networking to the exclusion of everything else.  Turn off the TV and radio and don’t listen to all the naysayers. And if you want to take the next step in your career but you are not sure as to what to do or where to go, give me a call. I’ll be happy to help.
