Hands On The Heartland
Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market
I’m guessing we all know at least one friend or family member who’s lost their job, taken a pay cut at work or taken a reduction in hours just to keep their job. Unemployment is at 10% and that figure doesn’t even include those who are working for less pay. It’s probably not too far-fetched to assume at least half of us are making do with less than we were a few years ago. Being in the real estate industry, I hear many stories of struggles with lost real estate equity and I can only imagine the stress that comes with losing your job.
I recently spoke with a friend who lost her job and the emotions were overwhelming really. When I stopped and really thought about it, I began to realize just how much effect a job loss could have on an individual. At the time, all I was able to offer was the old fall-back of telling someone to keep their chin up and things will get better. Later I got to thinking about how hollow that response was and I decided to jump online to see what types of accounting opportunities I could find in the Kansas City area. Being self-employed I’d never had to go down the job search path, but it didn’t take long to get in the swing of things. I was able to put together the following possibilities and I emailed them to my friend. I haven’t heard back yet on whether she’s found any good possibilities but having put in the time of locating a list of job finder sites, I thought I’d share the info. The following links take you to the pages within each site, in this case after searching “accountant Kansas City”…
