Social Media 10/07/2009
 
Every company in the US has been affected in some way, positive or negative, by the decline of our economy and increasing job loss and unemployment rates.  In my profession as a recruiter many people are coming to me for answers and hopefully returning to work.  I unfortunately do not have a crystal ball in which I can predict the swing in the economy.  As of lately though we have seen an increase in certain industries (Food, Consulting, Seasonal, etc) begin to pick up.  Does this mean the economy is shifting?  Certainly it is shifting but in which direction?  From what I am seeing it will never be what it once was it continues to shift and morph into a new and exciting global marketplace that will be different than we have ever seen.  One exciting shift is the Social Media tidal wave it is the mark of a new age of technology and marketing.  A stat I learned just yesterday is that 96% of the millennial generation is connected to Social Media in some way http://tinyurl.com/SMIBTUT .  The website linked here is a great site with great statistics for the future of how we do business.  How can your business continue to succeed and ignore the staggering numbers Social Media sites are putting up?  Social Media is free advertising for our future generation of leaders, business professionals, and customers.  Members of a very popular Social Media network Facebook aggregate 2.6 Billion minutes everyday logged in to their accounts http://tinyurl.com/a4ye56 .  So many people are looking for an answer for the future of the economy and I believe it is here we just have to embrace it and figure out how we can utilize it.  Any questions or concerns please feel free to comment.
