I woke up this morning feeling like an activist. I must have had a dream I don't remember. Anyway, I put up a quick Word Press Web site called BadJobBoards.com.

When you run into a bad job board, please visit http://BadJobBoards.com and let us know.

We're looking for sites that are not really job boards, that require that you register before you can do anything and such.

At this point, user experience issues will be accepted as posts on a case by case basis.

Hopefully, with your help, we can make this a good resource for lots of job seekers and employers.

The Web site is pretty basic right now. I spent about 15 minutes putting it up. I'll fill it out over time.

Minnesota employers added 10,300 jobs over the month in July and the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis.

The number of Unemployment Insurance initial claims in July dropped slightly from June to 44,221 on a seasonally adjusted basis. There were 31,400 job vacancies during second quarter 2009, a 39.4 percent decrease from one year ago. With 7.7 unemployed people for every job vacancy, second quarter 2009 was the most difficult on record for job seekers.
