Resume Writers Digest More Analysis of the Resume Writing Industry

Resume Writers' Digest More Analysis of the Resume Writing Industry Yesterday, I wrote about my analysis of how many resume writing firms I believe are out there.I thought I'd share some further data about how I think commercial list compilers are under-reporting the actual number of resume writers out there.Another commercial list I found identified 809 resume writing firms. Take a look at the numbers reported from your state and see how that compares to your experience:AK = 1AL = 8AK = 5AZ = 20CA = 75CO = 14CT = 19DE = 3FL = 50GA = 18IA = 10ID = 2IL = 43IN = 12KS = 9KY = 9LA = 6MA = 25MD = 26ME = 5MI = 19MN = 25MO = 24MS = 6MT = 2NC = 25ND = 1NE = 4NH = 6NJ = 32NM = 1NV = 4NY = 62OH = 39OK = 5OR = 8PA = 48RI = 4SC = 6SD = 1TN = 12TX = 52UT = 2VA = 27UT = 1WA = 15WI = 14WV = 2WY = 2In my case, I live in Nebraska. Although I wasn't able to see WHICH four firms were listed, I was able to analyze them by city/county, and none of them were listed for Omaha, which is the largest city in the state.Just looking in one of my local phone books (Dex Yellow Pa ges), I identified five firms (in addition to my own). One of these is a recruiting firm with a resume writer on staff; the others are sole proprietorships. Interestingly, one of my oldest firms in the city isn't currently listed, so that's at least one more writer that isn't being counted.
