Great News For College Grads There Are More Jobs Available This Year Than In The Past

By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Three weeks ago, April Doughty walked across the stage at the University of Central Florida and re-

ceived her degree in Business Administration. Four years and plenty of hard work went along with two summer internships and the belief that

you get out what you put in. Despite plenty of resume sending and letter writing - along with those positive experiences -

Doughty remains in limbo about starting a career in a very competitive workforce. “I know that from watching people older

than me that things will work out,” she said. “My very best friend graduated in 2017 with a degree in communications and she is working at a

restaurant right now helping to pay off student loans and provide a living for herself. My boyfriend also graduated two years ago with a degree in finance and he is working in retail.” But there is indeed good news on the horizon - and no matter what your field happens to be those armed with a newly minted diploma will enter a job market with unemployment near the lowest level in 50 years and job prospects up significantly from just last year. As many will tell you that with this administration, with more business savvy than perhaps any other in recent history, has opened the job market and provided many opportunities that were

‘Normie’ Was Indeed One Special Man

Local Realtor Norman Raven Touched So Many Lives - Worldwide

Talk about the real estate market and Norman Raven could go on for hours. Speak to him about travel and his passion for life - and he would fill several volumes. On May 3, at the age of 69, the man who was admired and adored by many, suddenly passed away - and the shock waves were felt from the United Kingdom, to Europe and here in south Florida. The man who was up front, charming and very witty - and had established himself as someone who clients could trust for over five decades - passed way too soon, and the news was met with so much sadness from those close to him. As part of the highly successful Raven Team - Sue Ward Homes, Inc. where he and longtime associate and close friend Debbie Finke brought over 80 years of combined experience in the competitive real estate market, Norman Raven was indeed that dose of reality at a time when many needed that pick-meup. Born on March 27, 1950, Raven’s passion for travel and always looking for the best in people, his passing while vacationing in Spain was felt by those close friends and family members, who were always close.

“Normie will be in our hearts every day and we will never forget how kind hearted he was to everyone he knew. He always fought for the underdog - and found that silver lining that has not always been easy - in the real estate market.”

Debbie Finke Longtime Friend/Associate

“There was never a day since we have known Norman that he was not there for all of us,” Finke recalled. “He was affectionately known by his friends and family as ‘Normie’ - and always had a big smile on his face, and if you felt down in any way, he would do his best to cheer you up and make you smile.” Norman Raven was a caring and generous man and always made sure his family and friends were on the right path. A brilliant business man, best friend and partner to both Finke and
