The Question
John Sumser's poses THE question for the advertising buyer in the Electronic Recruiting News.
State & Personal Income
California, Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire led the Nation in personal income growth in 2000, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
State personal income for the Nation grew 7.3 percent, the fastest growth rate since 1989, even though growth decelerated in the final two quarters of 2000. The overall strong growth in personal income boosted the Nation's per capita income to $29,676 in 2000, with Connecticut having the highest per capita income at $40,640.
All 50 States and the District of Columbia had increases in personal income that substantially outpaced the 2.4-percent increase in prices paid by U.S. consumers (as measured by the price index for personal consumption expenditures).
Women of the Valley
Although women are optimistic about opportunities in Silicon Valley, juggling work and family is a problem. A study by Collaborative Economics and Community Foundation Silicon Valley interviewed women, ages 21 to 61, and found lack of childcare options as the most commonly cited "significant barrier" to women's advancement in their careers, with 63 percent stating the region has failed to address the childcare challenge. Women working in technology face unique challenges, citing gender as a significant barrier to advancement.. Also, 41 percent of women in tech believe that they have to "fit into a masculine workplace" to advance.
Women of the Tech
A survey conducted for World Women in Technology, an online membership organization for women working in tech fields, found job dissatisfaction to be pervasive among the group's 265 members. While 75 percent of those surveyed said they felt exhilarated by the heightened sense of achievement in their new economy jobs, many complained about the field's relentless pace and demands. Sixty-eight percent reported feeling stress on the job, pointing to technology's 24/7 work environment. About the same number, 65 percent, said their frenetic jobs were harming their personal relationships or family lives. Not surprisingly, many were looking for new positions: 41 percent were considering leaving their employers.
