Labor Day Reflections

Cloudy 57F morning run looks like the state of labor. Today will be clear and sunny holiday. Skilled and service workers have shortages. Salaries are slowly rising, if your work is in demand.

The future is not clear. Trade war with China affecting businesses and farmers. Slowing economies around the world. Italy and parts of Europe are in recession may slow our economy. Businesses are investing and hiring carefully, not in an expansion mode. The next five years may be challenging. However when has life ever not been challenging?

Today enjoy your holiday and the fruits of your labor. Tomorrow reflect on what your best skills are, what to learn that would help you, and who you can better serve. Research which skills pay more. Careers are built on learning and trying new things.
