Sometimes groomers are offered jobs in exotic locations
such as Hawaii,
the Caribbean, Oceania countries and Europe.
We personally know skilled groomers that have
lived in these countries for years working at
grooming businesses along the way. Pet grooming is
a viable skill to take with you most anywhere!
The past shows that many pet groomers
entered the pet grooming industry fed up with
the roller coaster of traditional employment.
Technological job positions can become
outmoded, not grooming.
In
2008 the U.S. unemployment rate is on the increase
and there are sour predictions for the
remainder of the year, except grooming. As a
result of this industry's reputation for
chronic shortages of skilled labor, our office
telephone is ringing more than ever with
inquiries from laid off workers about grooming
careers. Historically pet grooming has been
a secure occupation in most of the United
States. However it's not only employment
opportunities that impress, but also
opportunities for self-employment. There are
exceptionally good prospects for
franchises,
mobile grooming
operations
and home-based grooming businesses. Ahead in
this report we will provide detailed
information about these and even more
opportunities for self-employment as a pet
groomer. If you were to group 100 pet
grooming business owners of staffed
operations, each with at least 20 years of
experience as an owner, and ask them, "What
has been your greatest challenge as a business
owner?", we guarantee you that 95% or more
would say, "Finding and keeping skilled
groomers." As a result thousands of grooming
businesses turn away business every day
because they cannot employ enough skilled
groomers. It's been this way since we entered
the industry in 1961. Whenever we got together
with other owners it was always the same
thing, angst about the lack of skilled
groomers. In 47 years we've never seen an
industry-wide surplus of groomers. Seems almost magical, doesn't it?
Just where did this unique industry originate? On the
next page we will groom
your knowledge for the origin of pet grooming. |
