A lot of the people who were affected have found it very hard to find work. Many have ended up in the unemployment lines, but a few have decided to be proactive and are considering a career change. Some of the proactive people are getting training from a truck driving school. Our focus here is to help those that attended a truck driving school find a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/trucking-jobs.php\">great trucking job<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The surge in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/\">trucking employment<\/a> didn\u2019t just resume in June; apparently it never stopped. While last month\u2019s job report from the U.S. Department of Labor\u2019s Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/trucking-jobs.php\">for-hire trucking companies <\/a>had added only 100 jobs in May, the latest BLS report released July 8 revised those numbers to a 3,000-job increase in May and pegged the growth in June over May at 4,400.<\/p>\n<p>Since the end of December, payroll employment in trucking is up nearly 27,000, according to the preliminary BLS figures. Since <a href=\"http:\/\/cdlapps.com\/\">trucking employment<\/a> bottomed out in March 2010, the industry has added 55,500 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Job growth in the rest of the economy isn\u2019t so healthy. Nonfarm payroll employment edged up by just 18,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate actually ticked higher by one-tenth of a percentage point to 9.2 percent, according to initial BLS estimates. Modest gains in private employment were offset by 39,000 jobs lost in federal and state governments.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to June 2010, payroll employment in trucking is up 3.9 percent. Total employment in trucking in June was nearly 1.283 million \u2013 down 170,500, or 11.7 percent, from peak trucking employment in January 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The BLS numbers reflect all payroll employment in for-hire trucking, but they don\u2019t include <a href=\"http:\/\/cdlapps.com\/\">trucking-related jobs<\/a> in other industries, such as a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/available-truck-drivers.php\">truck driver<\/a> for a private fleet. Nor do the numbers reflect the total amount of hiring since they only include new jobs, not replacements for existing positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of people in this country have been laid off because of job cuts and the lagging economy.
