April 9, 2002 As recession ends, look for increased unemployment It may seem contradictory, but as the recession ends and companies begin hiring in greater numbers, don't be surprised to see the nation's unemployment rate go up, says Christian & Timbers, a job placement service. "Many below-average workers have held jobs in the past six months because of hiring freezes. Managers have had a choice between firing someone and not having the budget for a replacement, or to have a person that is mediocre -- but it is somebody that can do something. With hiring freezes being lifted, the mediocre workers and managers will be let go," says Jeffrey Christian, chairman and CEO of Christian & Timbers. Mr. Christian added that the demand for temporary managers is on the rise. "The calls we are receiving for temporary managers are for the highest executive levels and are rising daily. Companies want to start to put better people in place, but want to `test the waters' before they commit. So, there is huge demand for temporary help right now all the way to the CEO level."
