Will the lost Jobs come back

Economic recovery at present and in near future is a debatable topic and many are not certain on what that means for the lost jobs. Will the jobs come back when the recession abates?
I had stalled on this topic for sometime, the layoffs had abated in April and there was much expectation of a turnaround.. but then employers cut 467,000 jobs in June, far more than expected and the jobless rate in the US is at a high high of 9.5 percent.
It makes us worry more on this question, will the lost jobs come back? Should we wait with our current skills and experience to continue in the same field as before or is it time to look at different alternatives? Be it moving to the new clean tech energy sectors or starting a business or learning new skills which prepare us for a new work and work culture in near future; it is the time to explore different answers and not be afraid to ask such questions.

What would you do to prepare for something new or unknown in the future?

i guess in this time of high unemployment rate, for one to remain competitive and relevant in the job market we must be flexible in our demands.

The role of government in the US economy is crucial when it comes to decision-making regarding monetary and fiscal policies.
The government renders a number of direct services in the form of providing support for national defense, monetary aid for research and development programs, and funds for highway construction & infrastructure in general.

i appreciate comments from all of you but i would want to let all of u know that learning skills require a lot of time and money. its better to compete within your own play field. this is only possible if we know that where do our strengths lie. we work in organizations but never realize wht we are good at.once we understand our distinctive capabilities we can develop them and strengthen ourselves in those departments to compete in the market. folowing the previously discussed method of learning new skills, can be very time consuming and working on our strengths is comparitively easier and less time consuming.knowing your abilities is at times very difficult.but now its been made easyy for all of us...................
