Press Release Summary: EmploymentCrossing, the world's premier job-opening research
institution, announced the launch of AerospaceCrossing on Monday. The site is
dedicated to professionals seeking aerospace job openings. AerospaceCrossing
consolidates jobs from employer websites, job portals, aviation websites, and other
aerospace websites and collects them in its revolutionary proprietary database. The
site saves aerospace engineers, airline contractors, and aircraft engine
manufacturers thousands of hours of research when looking for new ventures by
locating job listings for them.


Press Release Body: Pasadena, CA - Aerospace professionals are responsible for
producing aircraft, guided missiles, space vehicles, aircraft engines, propulsion
units, and related parts. Their tasks also include the overhaul, rebuilding, and
conversion of older aircraft. Firms producing transport aircraft make up the largest
segment of the non-military aircraft portion of the industry. AerospaceCrossing
(www.aerospacecrossing.com) has just been launched by EmploymentCrossing with
1,700-plus aerospace jobs to help aerospace professionals carve niches for
themselves in various workplaces. AerospaceCrossing contains all types of aerospace
job listings for those who want to pursue career paths as aircraft engine
manufacturers, propulsion experts, aerospace engineers, and the like.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), about half of all workers in
this industry work a standard 40-hour week. Employment in the aerospace industry
declined in the first half of this decade (from 2000-2004) as a result of a drastic
reduction in commercial transport aircraft orders, but an increase in air traffic
and the improving financial health of the nation's airlines had caused this trend to
reverse since 2004. This year again, however, there have been intermittent layoffs
in the aviation and aerospace industry as airplane companies are bearing the brunt
of the recession. The BLS has also reported that it is the production workers who
are facing layoffs rather than the technical staff.

In light of these intermittent employment difficulties facing aerospace
professionals, EmploymentCrossing decided to focus on finding jobs for aerospace
professionals and posting them under the canopy of AerospaceCrossing.

''There are so many aerospace jobs out there that job seekers do not know about,''
says A. Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of AerospaceCrossing. ''The number of jobs
present on various aerospace job portals far surpasses what most job seekers see
advertised on most job sites. By bringing those jobs that are on employer websites
to job seekers in the aerospace industry, we are giving them many more options than
they would get with a traditional job search on other commercial job boards.''

In what is perhaps a reflection of the current aerospace job market, the most
popular searches on the website are:

* aerospace jobs
* aerospace engineering jobs
* aerospace engineer jobs
* aerospace sales jobs
* aerospace industry jobs
* jobs in aerospace
* aerospace manufacturing jobs
* aerospace jobs in California

Barnes emphasizes that AerospaceCrossing is committed to finding new sources of
aerospace jobs daily.

''There is an astonishing number of aerospace job openings in New York, Los Angeles,
Texas, Oklahoma City, and many more cities. We want to find them all,'' he says.

AerospaceCrossing charges job seekers $29.95 to look at its job-opening research.
However, it is currently offering a free, seven-day trial to allow users to
familiarize themselves with the service. The free trial is available to everyone on
the site's registration page for a limited time.
