    Shock of shocks, the stimulus is working.

    Well, it’s not all good news. We still have work to do….various analysts say that you have to look closer at the numbers. Essentially a good portion of the jobs lost, will not return. They must be replaced with new positions, meaning new career paths and skills for those laid off workers. New jobs take more effort and resources than existing positions. And dems have been pushing “new” jobs (solar panels, electric cars, new info tech, etc) but the opposition refuses to acknowledge that it is both economically sound but necessary.

    Fox News (yeah, I know) is reporting about the surge in temp agency employment. Perhaps we’re finally about to turn the employment corner.

    Fox is JUST NOW reporting that? If I remember correctly, the rise in temp jobs started a few months ago.Jennifer

    Well, that’s good. Certainly we can’t indefinitely continue to grow employment at temp agencies.
