Despite this unquenchable desire for perfection in the accomplishment of routine tasks, thousands of people just like Christopher have another label placed on them today: "unemployable". When the economy is strong and unemployment is low, employers find autistic workers to be among their best. However in an economy where every worker must market themselves to beat out dozens or competitors for the few available jobs, the autistics lack the polish and credentials of the more traditionally groomed candidates.It seems employers quickly forget the advantages of autistic workers when it comes to repetitive tasks. Those with autism possess an uncanny ability to focus on their work and perform the repetitive tasks with tremendous accuracy and reliability. They are also extremely loyal workers, unlikely to jump ship because they can earn a quarter an hour more at another employer.

The Federal Reserve board is reporting "fresh momentum" in all 12 surveyed districts across the nation. This is an early indicator of economic conditions that will change the current employer's market back to the employee's market. Along with the change will be a return to the problem of employee retention. Gallup shows nearly 50% of employees feel disconnected from their employer and BostonWorks.com finds that only 43% of employees are satisfied with their current employment situation, down from 50%. According to BostonWorks.com president, Peter North, many employers are misled by the fact that their current retention is low. These three facts point out that the marketplace will soon return to an employee's market and up to 57% of employees are likely to change jobs.
