If our economy is in recovery, as identified by some of the financial leaders in the country, why are there so many people unemployed? It is sure taking a long time for unemployment to turn around. Actually, the unemployment rate continues to grow. During our last recession in 2001, unemployment rates didn’t start getting better until June of 2003. The Unemployment rate is the last strategic element to rise in a market recovery. Unfortunately, right now, many people are out of work and until things start to get better for sure, many more people will lose their jobs.
OK! That is enough bad news for one article. Here are a few demographics for you to think about. Did you know that every minute an individual out there is turning 60 years of age? Any person who is 60 years old, is known as a baby boomer. Well, here is another startling fact. Baby Boomers, all 76 million of us, may not be able to retire as expected because the majority of our companies have lost our pension funds. Our savings rates are nil to nothing. Those of us who make less than $50,000 per year are living pay check to pay check. This number only includes people who have jobs.
Now, here’s the good news. There is a need for 50,000 financial advisers! Why is that, you ask? The answer is that there are so many people that need help out there, i.e., 76 Million baby boomers and 85.5% of the population that make less than $500,000 per year and can afford to invest their money in a very special way so they don’t lose as much as those of us who are invested in a “Buy and Hold” strategy or mutual fund (this information comes from a study done by Boston College School of Business and Philanthropy in 1998).
I can hear everyone out there who is reading this article right now saying, “I don’t know anything about finance. I don’t even have an interest in the subject.” Well, all I can say to that is that’s fine. You can stop reading and continue to accept unemployment. However, if you are saying, you’ve got my attention tell me more, I would like to let you know about a terrific company that is expanding and looking for associates in their marketing division, financial division, and in administration.
As stated above, Investment News periodical identified a need for 50,000 new financial advisers in the next 5-10 years to work with baby boomers and a very large part (85.5%) of the population that really needs financial assistance now and in the future. Our company, Investment Advisors International (IAI), has 1,000 advisers. With 46 offices all over the United States and Canada, we are in need of 49,000 associates. With our Business Format System, even a nurse of 40+ years with almost no knowledge of finance (only what I learned in my undergraduate and graduate finance and statistic courses), can get the licenses needed to do this job and be paid handsomely, anyone can do it. Financial advisers are among the highest paid professionals in the country.
Our mission is to help families become financially independent, and we focus on helping clients to make the best possible investments that will bring them the best return. We want our clients to “Win.” As advisers, we “Win” if our clients’ investments increase in value, a “Win-Win Situation” That’s what we are all about.
