However, the current pace of job gains is still strong. Employers are still creating jobs and employees are still working.</p>

<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The list of <b>Top 20 Web Technologies in Boston</b> has been updated for August.

The most in-demand keywords are listed more frequently than less in-demand keywords. <b>This list reflects the change over the last three months.</b> Employers in the Boston metro area appear cautious about hiring as interest rates appear to be peaking along with a possible recession on the horizon.</p>

While I won't promise a doubling in your earning potential, I can help you identify the books that are most likely to add value to your career. These are not my opinions. These are the recommendations of business experts and supported by passionate readers.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
For the 14th year in a row Beantown Web has conducted a quasi-scientific meta-search to identify the best business books published during the calendar year. This year's search began by identifying 14 "Best of" lists. This resource list is available upon request. The final results are presented here.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
A total of 228 unique books were mentioned on at least one "Best of" list. Among the unique books, 189 were mentioned only once and 39 received multiple recommendations.</p>

<h2 style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The 68 Technologies</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced the 68 teams invited to participate in the 2022 Men's basketball tournament, commonly referred to as March Madness. These <b><a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2022-03-13/2022-ncaa-mens-tournament-bids-all-68-march-madness-teams" target="_blank">teams are ranked from 1 to 68</a></b>.

<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Beantown Web publishes the <b><a href="https://beantownweb.blogspot.com/search/label/jobs" target="_blank">Boston Web Tech Job Market</a></b> which analyzes the technology job market in the Boston metro area. This analysis ranks employer demand for technologies based on the number of times each technology appears in job postings on Indeed. These <b><a href="https://beantownweb.blogspot.com/2022/02/boston-web-tech-job-market-february-2022.html" target="_blank">technologies are ranked from 1 to 68</a></b>.

<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Beantown Web has replaced each ranked team with their correspondingly ranked technology and repurposed the March Madness bracket to create the March Tech Madness bracket.

<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><br />Of the five books you may have read in 2021, it is likely that not all were career-oriented. Of the few that were, some offered more value than others. Let me help you decide which business books are most likely to add value to your career. These are not my opinions. These are the opinions of business experts. These are the opinions of readers who have read these books.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
For the 14th year in a row Beantown Web has conducted a quasi-scientific meta-search to identify the best business books published during the calendar year. This year's search began by identifying 16 "Best of" lists. This resource list is available upon request. The final results are presented here.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
A total of 222 unique books were mentioned on at least one "Best of" list. Among the unique books, 175 were mentioned only once and 47 received multiple recommendations.</p>

For the 13th year in a row Beantown Web has conducted a quasi-scientific meta-search to identify the best business books published during the calendar year.

Beantown Web has developed such a system. For the 12th year running Beantown Web has conducted a quasi-scientific meta-search to identify the best business books published during the calendar year. These books are most likely to add value to your career.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
This year's search began by identifying nine "Best of" lists. This resource list is available upon request. Presented here are the results.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
A total of 157 books were mentioned on at least one "Best of" list. Of these recommendations, 127 were mentioned only once. The remaining 30 books found their way onto at least two of the nine "Best of" lists.

The Honorable Mention Shelf
</h3>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
Twenty of the 30 final candidates were mentioned on two "Best of" lists. These books have attained <b>Honorable Mention</b> status.

The Must-Read Shelf
</h3>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
Seven of the remaining 10 books were mentioned on three "Best of" lists and have attained <b>Must-Read</b> status.

Suggested Success Strategy
</h3>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
Regardless of your professional discipline, business is the engine that drives economic well-being. The economy is currently on life support. However, the winds of cautious optimism have begun as a cool summer breeze. You can help enhance your personal economic prospects -- and prepare for a new normal -- by learning more about the business of business.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
<b>Goal:</b> Select one business book from the 10 pictured above, read it, practice its principles and shift your career into a higher gear in 2020. Of course, you can select all 10 books, read two per month, and enhance your business knowledge now that you have some extra time as a result of working from home
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">
