Dealing with Frustration at Work

Let's face it, we all have had those moments when we wanted to have a meltdown at work. It's how we chose to deal with it that counts. For example- you may be working on a project under deadline and your printer won't work. Perhaps with you just had a heated exchange with a co-worker you can't seem to see eye-to-eye with.

Before your problem grows any bigger with a bad reaction, take a few deep breaths. Take a step back for a minute and let yourself cool down.

Private sector adds jobs; still not enough

According to the latest report from the Labor Department, the private sector added 71,000 jobs last month. While any growth is appreciated, the number is still much lower than the number needed (216,000) to reach pre-recession levels from 2007.

The unemployment rate held steady at 9.5% but when you add in the underemployed (those who are either working part-time or are working “under” their previous position), the rate jumps to 16.5%.

Unemployment rates for the metropolitan areas will be coming out at the end of the month… stay tuned!
