Spinning for a small minority - do they do that for any other segment of society in the headlines? hmmmm...
here's the crap as it was written: "30 percent of U.S. companies plan to increase staffing, survey finds"
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/14094347.htmMILWAUKEE (AP) - Thirty percent of U.S. companies intend to increase staffing levels in the second quarter this year, according to a survey of 16,000 employers prepared for release today.
The report marks the ninth straight quarter that more than 20 percent of the companies surveyed said they plan to add staff. It was 23 percent for the first quarter of this year.
The last time the reading topped 30 percent was in the third quarter of 2005, when 31 percent of companies surveyed said they planned to add staff.
Six percent of companies surveyed by the Milwaukee-based staffing firm Manpower expect to reduce employment in the second quarter, while 58 percent expect no change, the survey said. Six percent of companies were unsure of their plans, according to the survey, which began in 1962.
The trend shows a healthy, stable economy, Manpower said.
Manpower Chief Executive Jeff Joerres said a shortage of workers is forcing companies to be more competitive in their hiring practices.
``There is a shortage going on,'' Joerres said. ``Companies are looking for the exact talent they need, and they may be having a more difficult time doing that.''
...more...Ahhhh! It was "Manpower Survey" - they are temporary employees - and ... wait!
``Companies are looking for the exact talent they need, and they may be having a more difficult time doing that.''No training! No Costs! Only "exact talent" wanted!
