Uptick in Corporate, Personal Travel Drives Job Growth on TravelingCrossing.com
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) September 07, 2013
The U.S. Travel Association announced that travel remains the largest U.S. export, increasing 8.9 percent in the first seven months of 2013. An uptick in corporate and personal travel has driven job growth for the sector on TravelingCrossing.com.
According to the U.S. Travel Association, the country’s travel industry is one of the biggest contributors to the U.S. economy, to the tune of $ 14.8 billion a year. A burgeoning travel sector has been one of the key factors behind the decline in the U.S. trade deficit, with travel exports rising 8.9 percent in the first seven months of 2013 compared to 2012. Overall, according to the report, the travel sector has been responsible for 32 percent of the increase in U.S. exports during 2013. Nonessentials like travel, entertainment and leisure activities are typically the first areas cut by families in economically difficult times. The growth in the travel industry points to a rise in household disposable income and overall confidence in the economic future. The U.S. Travel Association is a non-profit group that represents the country’s travel industry.
On TravelingCrossing.com, a leading site for travel sector jobs, employer-hiring trends were indicative of the sector’s strong economic activity. There were a significant number of openings for travel agents, travel managers, and other travel coordination-type of jobs. Many of the currently advertised openings are concentrated in business and corporate travel. As the overall business has picked up for U.S. companies, so has business-related travel. Much in the same way that personal travel declined, companies were quick to cut travel budgets entirely or, at the very least, keep it to a minimum.
As businesses have recovered financially, corporate travel has also picked up, driving job growth in the airline industry and among travel agencies. Some businesses travel frequently and need services that can cater to specialized needs. Working with a booking agency can streamline the process for companies that want to avoid making the arrangements on their own, or need to do it on a large scale.

Dr. Seuss Read Across America Day Prompts GoBankingRates to Tackle Declining Financial Literacy with 2013 Release of the Five Best Personal Finance Books for Kids
El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) March 02, 2013
LiveScience.com has reported that 32 million Americans can’t read, a problem that prompted the NEA to develop the Dr. Seuss Read Across America Day. GoBankingRates.com recognizes the strong tie between literacy and financial literacy in the U.S., and helps improve both by releasing its list of the top five personal finance books for children on this day.
GoBankingRates.com, a national personal finance site dedicated to helping visitors find the best savings rates and money management resources, found disturbing data about the current state of financial literacy among Americans.
For instance, the Jump$ tart Coalition’s 2012 Making the Case for Financial Literacy report states that two in five U.S. adults graded themselves as a C, D, or F for their knowledge of personal finance, while over 77 million Americans admit they don’t pay all of their bills on time.
GoBankingRates managing editor, Casey Bond, explains, “The purpose of Read Across America is to encourage youngsters to become lifelong readers, but it’s also the perfect opportunity for teaching children about finance through books.” She adds, “We hope to essentially kill two birds with one stone by releasing this list and help develop literate, financially-savvy adults.”
