HRM Jobs Continues to Boom
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Tourism in the Philippines is again climbing up the economic ladder after it weakened due to the Asian financial crisis in the year 1997.
The said crisis also caused the fall down of other economic sectors that dominoed to the whole country. Foreign investors went away, and tourism industry down-hilled to its all time low. And because of this, hotel business and premiered vacation spots weakened.
Thanks to the Philippine Government, this issue had been tackled, and given priority. The tourism industry has strengthened again and will continue as long as other reforms will be passed.
According to the government, the Philippines had reached its all-time high when it spiked at 3 million tourist last year 2006.
With the continues growth of the tourism, the demands for hotel staffs and Hotel and Restaurant Management o HRM professionals also rises.
According to the World Tourism Organization, tourism is the second largest industry that has the capacity to employ as much as 221 million people around the world.

Where are the Jobs?
Sunday, June 10, 2007
Many of us may think that working abroad could be the only way to finance our family’s needs. The greener pasture is always outside the
Although it is somehow true, they’ve managed to magnify the scenario and twisted the truth to look and sound more appealing to their audience.
But the truth is, everyday there are about 7,000 job openings from different fields from about 5,000 different employers. And I am only talking about jobs here in the

According to the January study (Rates of Employment and Unemployment, by Sex and by Region) done by the National Statistics Office, the male has an employment rate of 91.9% and the female has 92.6%. The unemployment rate of the male is 8.1% and the female is 7.4%.
Looking at the regional data, it turned out that the National Capital Region and the Region-4A CALABARZON have the lowest employment rate which is 87.3% and 89.6% respectively. Compared to Region-2 Cagayan Valley’s employment rate of 96.9% and unemployment rate of 3.1%
The study doesn’t mean “as is”, what I mean is that the bright future still isn’t at the province, but is possible. And it also doesn’t mean that the metro has minimum job offers, but it is possible.
One analysis I could give is that the population affects these data.
Let’s say there are 50 jobs in all regions at any given time.
Conclusion: Jobs are everywhere! Not only abroad and especially not only in the Metro.
