PR Peeps: This is why we’re hot…
We’re confident. We’re quick on our toes. We’re multi-taskers. No wonder public relations specialists made the “Best Careers 2011” list. With major public relations/communications fiascos like the BP Oil Spill and that whole Tiger Woods… “thing” going down as two of the most poorly handled public relations crises in the past two or three years, it is no wonder why companies are seeing and appreciating the value of our kind.
According to the Labor Department, employment of public-relations specialists is expected to increase by more than 66,000 jobs, or 24 percent, between 2008 and 2018. Those numbers sound pretty good to me.
So, how is this new-found love for PR folks like us going to affect our pay and career growth? Check out what U.S. News and World Report has to say.
