Re: There ain't many jobs. That's the reality of the early stages of a recovery. Not as many new unemployment claims, but not too many new hires either. Bad for new entries into the job market and for those still layed off, but great for company balance sheets and earnings reports. Increases in revenue go right to the bottom line.

many people are still looking for jobs especially in IT area. It's like a wasteland. Don't tell me I have to hire someone right now and I get 2-3 unsolisited calls a day for work as it is. If I put ads or internet jobs listing out, I never get my work done because I never finish reading my email messages <g> In Sep for example, from just 1 job listing at a local University web site, I got 400 resumes in two weeks. This time I am going to use NJ Dept of Labor web site to hire a post 9/11 laid off worker because US Dept of LAbor gave then a ton of money to just about pay for custom on the job training programs -- another word for tax credit for employers hiring laud off workers -- for just about all of the post 9/11 laid off workers. If government is willing to give me $3-5 K to "retrain" a worker I would have hired anyway, I am not going to pass up this once in 20 year opportunity from the federal government.
