Job expectations have changed throughout the last 40 years. Research was done in order to see the differences in those expectations and compare them by looking at the expectations now and then. This is relevant because we can see the popular jobs of today and get incite into why those jobs are so popular. Is it a norm of society and that’s why they are changing, or is just the demand for different jobs effecting what people choose are their career? This can be answered by looking at the results of the analysis. The hypothesis is the expectation for employment of Tri-Valley seniors has changed over the past 40 years. In order to find the expectations for employment of the seniors 40 years ago, we used secondary analysis as our tool to find this information. Secondary analysis is using pre-collected information for data collection and research purposes without distortion. Finding the information using another method would be close to impossible because there is no way of locating all the students, they could have memory distortions and even inaccurate responses. By looking at the yearbook, we would bypass all those possible errors and get their true response at that time by looking at their future plans. The research was also performed using the seven steps of the research method. The first step, identify the problem, was jobs. In order to review the literature, four yearbooks were used. The yearbooks included the years; 1958, 1959, 1999, and 2002. After looking threw the books, our previous hypothesis was formed. From there, we used secondary analysis as the research design. The data was collected my making categories for all the jobs and then narrowing down those categories. Once the categories were broad enough... ... middle of paper ... ...he very best can make it, and that is why there is a decrease in the amount of people wanted to be in entertainment. In the end, our research showed our hypothesis to be successful. The expectation of Tri-Valley seniors has changed over the last 40 years. Some of the changes were very drastic, while others were more minor changes. Whether major or minor, they were changes and therefore our hypothesis was. There was only one con in the research design. When making categories, we made a category known as other. This category dramatically increased from then until now. Many of the students wrote down that they wanted to be rich or successful, but did not put down an actual plan for themselves. If this category would have had a lower number, the results we found could have been even more accurate because there would have been more results from more students.
The aim of this paper is to explore and critically analysing two research articles. The critical analysis will explain the importance of the study, evaluate design and research method used in those articles. To identify any gaps it will provide the literature review in those researches and possibility for the new study. The project plan, for the possible research will be developed on a potential gaps and the essay will finish with the conclusion.
..., with the advancement of technology and medical systems, both the life span and available labor years have increased to a great extent. In such a context, the value of the senior citizens who intend to enter or reenter the labor force should be evaluated not only socially but also economically. While being praised for its function in social administration as an improvement in senior life quality and community harmony, senior employment should also be applauded for its huge economic value: with the adoption of this labor pool, the burden of population aging would be relieved considerably. Our program, which is going to put an emphasis on the minority group among the elderly, would provide an important supplement to the already existing senior employment assistance programs, in helping senior job seekers find their suitable location in the society and our economy.
In this research study descriptive and empirical research approach have been follow because of the following
The structural-functional analysis of jobs in the U.S. is governed by the workforce stratification and technology. The more educated and diverse a society is the better society’s job market is served. This social economic separation of class has been both good and bad for society. Many workers at the lower levels of employment are both pleased and displeased with many aspects of work. Though this fact also holds true with most any job at any level, pay scale often compensates for endurance of a particular job type. The security of a person’s job also is an issue that in today’s economic times forces one to be prepared for change. This is to say that even if one’s field of expertise is needed today it may not be tomorrow. This type of ever-changing job market leads many to believe that another socio-economic change may occur at any time. This change was apparent with the transition into the industrial age and again in the information age. These concerns caused stress, various health issues, a...
Job analysis is necessary and comes with four acceptable job analyses such that (1) use several up-to-date sources, (2) be conducted by experts, (3) use a large number of job incumbents, and (4) cover the entire range of worker activities and qualifications (Sparks, 198...
The focus of this paper is to elaborate on the changing landscape of work in America during the twenty-first century. According to the researchers, as the economy continues to slowly recover from the recession and economic crisis, more of our baby boomers are reentering the workforce. In addition to the introduction of automation and computer technologies into the workplace, this has dramatically changed the nature of jobs for the older workers (Czaja and Sharit 2009). As stated in the Government Accountability Office in 2006, the number of workers over age 55 is projected to increase significantly over the next 20 years. Evidence shows that ageism, stereotypes, and misinformation about our older population continue to be major issues across
Older adults face ageism in work place also. The employer consider older adults as inflexible, unwilling to adapt to technology, resistant to new ways, having some physical limitations, costing more for health insurance and so on. Many researches also show that the older worker was less favored for continued career development and training and unlikely to be promoted. Similarly, the older workers also have the disadvantage shorter interviews, fewer commissions, fewer job offers and are less likely to be hired (Dennis & Thomas,

The United States economy has experienced highs and lows throughout the years. These changes affect everyone in one way or another. The U.S. workforce is not exempt from feeling the effects of the economy. Many individuals across the nation have reassessed their career and personal goals due to financial hardships. One major trend developing is that individuals are beginning careers earlier, and ending careers later. The good old days of retiring at sixty-five are replaced with worrying about health care costs and retirements plans, with no retirement date in sight. Many parents are unable to foot the bill for their college-aged children, so the workforce has also seen a jump in young adults entering into the workforce.

In this chapter the background and problem definition is described, that forms the basis for this research. There after the purpose, aim and research questions. Subsequently the literature review and research strategy taken to solve the research questions is given.
The first phase was aimed at measuring the demographic details such as the age , marital status, education level, job experience and the salary amounts. The employee development was then measured through seven items which were derived from various articles. On a five-point scale, ranging from 1 to 5, (where 1= strongly disagree) and (5= strongly agree). Job rotation is operationalized as the perceptions of interests in these developments as well as the competences acquired from the job rotation. In another phase, job rotation was evaluated with 18 items retrieved from the past publications where all of the 18 items were consequently measured with a five-point scale similar to the one that was used for the employee development. In total, there were 25 items in the questionnaire and using the five-point Likert Scale. Just as the thumb rule stipulates, 1:5 ratio for every item, there should be 5 respondents (Schyns, & Von Collani, 2002). Therefore, since there were a total of 25 items the number of the workers that were given the questionnaire was 125. The study mainly dwelled on the past research and was tailored in relation to the objectives of the research question. Consequently, the study utilized the Statistical Package for Social Science
By choosing the research methodology, the researchers can formulate the path to be used in conducting the study and reporting the findings. The methodology helps in the search of literature, development of research questions and the creation of the most suitable study design. It also assists in the interpretation of the results and the publication of the findings in journals. References. Jha, N. (2008). Research methodology . Chandigarh: Abhishek Publications.
