Broadband users more likely find jobs, study says
January 20, 2010
According to a new study from the Phoenix Center, job seekers who use the Internet are more likely to keep actively looking for jobs and less likely to drop out of the labor pool than those without Internet access. The correlation between employment and Internet access is even stronger among broadband users. At a time when lawmakers are trying to ease unemployment, which now hovers over 10 percent, and increase Internet access, the study shows an explicit link between the two.
