December 10, 2001 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Brushing up on
a professional skill or going back to school for a higher
academic degree are still the keys to getting an edge in a
struggling economy, a survey of online job hunters
shows.

Those were the answers offered by 83% of Monster.com users in the Monster Meter survey. Seventeen percent of those responding said they were comfortable in their current job.
Monster.com, a popular Web job-hunting site, periodically issues job hunter surveys.
Job Hunting Learning Tools
To help those trying to add professional skills, Monster.com recently unveiled MonsterLearning ( www.monsterlearning.com ), a site to manage learning as it relates to advancing careers.
MonsterLearning Search, a new product on the MonsterLearning site, provides a search engine for career-related training.
The results of the current Monster Meter are based on votes cast by Monster.com users from November 26 to December 3, 2001.
