Clearly, the macroeconomic conditions have begun to improve. Most economists are talking about global growth definitely becoming a part of the 4th quarter of this year, if not the 3rd quarter. Next year could reach 2% global growth, and most economists are predicting that it could hit the long-term mean of 3%. There is, however, a very high degree of concern about the fact that unemployment continues to climb around the world, and in the U.S. it should hit double digits soon, seeing that it’s already at nine and a half percent. While we do see that unemployment is increasing, an interesting phenomenon taking place is that temp staffing hours are starting to flatten or climb a little bit. So if you are out there looking for a job, you might want to start thinking about doing a bit of contract labor to tide you over during these difficult times until the job market takes a turn for the better.
