USNews: Librarians are the hot ticket

Jen Young spotted This USNews.com Article on finding a job in this rough market that says Librarians are the hot ticket, with a range of employers from rural elementary schools to top-notch research universities hunting for them.

They say first lady, and former librarian, Laura Bush announced last month that the president’s 2004 budget will include $20 million to recruit and train the next generation of librarians. None of the money, however, will go to increase salaries, which average about $49,800 annually.
