Recruiting Corner: Next Sector for Major Layoffs
We've been hearing and reading all about layoffs in the real estate and financial services fields, particularly mortgages and banking, for what seems like forever! Do you know from which sector the next casualties will come? CNN Money says its the Municiple sector, made up of State County and Municiple employees.
With the new fiscal year starting this week will come potential layoffs in at least 29 states, most notably, California, Florida and Ohio. Even if the decline in jobs is only 1% it could impact 200,000 workers making it a highly significant industry sector decline. Ask Gg to help you turn this major challenge into a recruiting opportunity!

Market Corner (to help you corner your market)
According to a study by PriceWaterhouseCoopers released in June, employer health care costs are poised to rise almost 10% in 2008, more than double the annual inflation rate, and nearly that much again (9.6%) in 2009.
Many employers will turn to the agents with whom they have their group health policy for answers and savvy producers can take the following steps to help clients combat rising costs:
- Get updated census data and visit the possibility clients' purchasing self or partial self-insurance.
- Analyze higher participation by employees or reduce matching contributions to 401K and use that money to help supplement costs.
- Utilize this study's projection as a door opener for new clients by creating a postcard or pre-approach letter.
