Project Management Today

Is there any secret here? Project managers have recognized the fact that the problem with labor is NOT a shortage.

Note the problem is articlulated well in this comment from a major news source.

And worldwide, millions of people still can’t find jobs. The strongest evidence that there’s no general shortage today is that overall worker pay has barely outpaced inflation. In the U.S., the share of national income going to corporate profit, rather than, say, labor, is hovering around a 50-year high

So while profits are up at an historical high, people are being driven into poverty. Not because they aren’t willing to work but by GREED!

Well, I’m on sabbatical for awhile and noticed that many of the positions for project managers, etc. all ask for a PM certification. Now not one to focus on any certification that there’s prep. classes that guarantee passing the test, this one is interesting. Lots of prep sites also have pre-tests. Have taken every one I could find and without studying, the worst scored in the mid 80’s.

Bottom line, if you need PMP certification and have experience, read a book and take the test. ;^)
