subject: Creating Your Own Job: Starting An Online Business [print this page] The numbers of jobless people are legion today and growing. The economy is the utmost concern of all people and governments across the globe. Unemployment is growing worse instead of better and no one seems to be able to stop the downward trend.
Companies all over America are laying off employees and depending on machines to replace them, or they are shipping jobs overseas where labor is much cheaper. Most products today bear a label that does not say "Made in the USA." Large corporations are taking advantage of the low standard of living in third world countries by sending thousands of components to these countries to be assembled and shipped back to the United States as finished products.
It is unbelievable that it costs less to ship thousands of pounds of materials clear across the globe, pay employees to assemble the product, turn around and ship them all the way back to America. The fact is that people in other countries are willing to work for low wages because the standard of living is low there and they welcome the chance at earning a living no matter how meager. Many Americans won't work for less than a living wage, allowing companies to take advantage of the labor opportunities that exist overseas.
Maybe if all large corporations in America could have their products assembled in this country, and Americans only bought domestically made products, our economy wouldn't be in the tank the way it is now. All that aside, we still have to earn a living. With so many millions of our fellows out of work, the job picture looks dismal indeed. A hundred people are lining up to be hired for a job that only we successfully get.
A look on the bright side reveals that it is possible to take matters into our own hands. We do not have to rely any more on big business to see us through. We can create our own successful online business and be our own boss so we never get laid off again. With appropriate software to help us out, the dream of operating our own business can be realized. Online business is on the upswing and the future looks very good indeed for online entrepreneurs.
You have a far better shot at earning a livelihood with your own business than you do in waiting to find a job with a living wage in this economy. Open positions are rare and hundreds are vying for that one rare slot. The answer is to go into business for yourself online. More and more people are using the internet to shop for goods and services, as well as for entertainment and education. These numbers will only go up. Think of the millions of potential customers for your online business, whatever it is.
We have not seen as big of a recession in our economy since the Great Depression. Admittedly things are not nearly as bad right now for our country as they were back then, but we are certainly facing difficult times. Many people in our country are out of work or working in low paying job that make it hard to support their family. If you are one of these people or if you are just sick of being bossed around, starting your own online business may be exactly what you need.
