Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/14/2012 -- Even though the economy as a whole is improving slightly, it's still not fantastic, as evidenced by recent layoffs made by Adventist Healthcare. Based in Maryland, Adventist Healthcare had to layoff people due to action that's anticipated to lower hospital rates in the state.

The company said they'd be eliminating less than 100 jobs in an announcement made last week. However, it's unclear from what areas of service these jobs will come from. They also blame the economy in general for the need for layoffs.

These people may be out of a job soon and they'll be thrust back into the job market. This means more competition in an already overcrowded job search market. Even so, there are ways to find work out there but it's extra important to make use of all the resources available. EmploymentCrossing.com is one such resource.

This site provides comprehensive job listings across all industries for a nominal fee. In fact, at this point in time, the site lists 373,449 jobs in the healthcare sector alone.

They offer a subscription service to job applicants so they can gain access to a larger pool of open positions than is typically possible. Often, these jobs aren't listed on job boards, so there will be less competition and those eager to find a job will have more luck with each application.

By keeping EmploymentCrossing.com in mind, people laid off at Adventist Healthcare and other companies will have more luck in finding a job that's perfect for them.
