Now more than ever, job seekers need to know which Web-sites work best, and WEDDLE’s 2010 User’s Choice Awards gives them the answer.
STAMFORD, CT. You’d have to be living in a distant galaxy to be unaware of how hard it is to find a job these days. More than 10% of the American workforce is unemployed, and that number rises to almost 20% of the population if you count those who have given up.
There’s no easy fix to this situation, but knowing which resources work best is a step in the right direction. That’s why WEDDLE’s, a research and publishing company that specializes in employment, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2010 User’s Choice Awards. They are simply the best employment sites on the Web, at least according to job seekers and employers.
Now in its sixth year, WEDDLE’s annual User’s Choice Awards are the only awards in which actual users—those who are looking for employment and those who are looking employees—are able to vote for the employment sites they think work best.
“We believe customers count most,” says WEDDLE’s Publisher and CEO, Peter Weddle. “While pundits can make their own picks, it’s the people who use the sites who really know which are most helpful.”
The 2010 winners of the WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Awards are:

The voting was conducted at the WEDDLE’s Web-site (www.weddles.com) from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The thousands of job seekers and employers who cast their ballots were a representative cross-section of the American workforce.
