    A Gallup study released on January 14, 2012 shows that the Government has rapidly slowed down job creation over the past three years. The study showed that while 23 percent of government agencies said they were hiring right now, another 43 percent said that employees were being laid off. As jobs move outward toward the private business sector, having a college education and work experience will become crucial in obtaining a job. My Colleges and Careers is a hub of online resources for individuals looking to obtain a college degree and prepare to work in the top careers of the private sector.

    In addition to the data on the federal government presented above, state and local governments also saw a decline in job creation. However, the decrease in local government jobs was much smaller than the federal rate. On the positive side, Gallup found that job creation in the private sector increased over the past three years by nearly as much as the federal government declined. As job positions shift to private business, so will the educational and other qualifications for employment. Private sector jobs can be very competitive and difficult to obtain. Education is one of the key factors in qualifying for work in these positions. My Colleges and Careers is a resource for those looking into online college degrees to help them boost their qualifications for employment.

    Whether a job requires only some formal technical training or a completed Ph.D., My Colleges and Careers is equipped to prepare individuals for employment.
