Going to truck driving school may be the answer for many job seekers. An article today on Seattlepi.com discussed details of the job hunt for many unemployed individuals around Seattle, Washington.
According to the article which used data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, when considering the entire national population, there were 21
million people in the 50 to 54 age group. Of that group 4.1 percent were unemployed last year. Also 3.7 percent of the 33.5 million workers in the 55 to 64 age group were also unemployed last year.
That is a lot of unemployed people that are 50 and older. The article said that those in areas like Detroit have been the hardest hit and this age group particularly is having a hard time finding jobs even in Seattle. The article suggests the key may be to remain persistent or get new training.
One industry with a bright spot for those looking for work or training is the trucking industry. The industry as a whole is still hiring qualified individuals and enrolling students into truck school. Becoming a truck driver is sometimes a challenge for individuals with young families or commitments at home. For many that are 50 and older, they no longer have children at home. Truck jobs can be a new career path for this stage in life for adults looking for work.
CR England truck driving schools can train the unemployed for a new career in the trucking industry. CR England even guarantees their traineees employment after graduation.
