Oh please here we go again with the crap - employees are going to find the strongest job market in years??????? Where? New Guinea? Certainly not here.

1. Prosperity is just around the corner

We've been hearing that in Oregon for the last three years, and it just keeps getting worse.

2. Looks like another reporter transcription error - "More" = "Foreign"

As in hiring overseas, outsourcing? Ah nevermind.

3. This was a survey conducted by Manpower

this is a temp agency folks!!!

[justgamma]

7. Most companies

around here use a temporary service to hire fulltime workers. That being said, I'll believe it when I see it.

4. There's a bit of discussion on this topic

in the Economic Issues forum.

It's pretty much a meaningless report.

5. It's Bullshit from MANPOWER TEMPORARY agency

They make a manpower survey sound optimisic?
Manpower being told by a few companies "yeah we will need a few temps with low wages and no benefits since we might have laid off a few too many full-time employees, we can ditch them after the election, right"?

[qanda]

8. EXACTLY!!!!

They pay the most pitiful wages and the work is temporary. I wish I could say the objective reporting was the order for the day.

6. BULLETIN: MiniPlenty announces double-plus wheat harvest!

In celebration of this, and of our Great Victory in the south, the choco-ration will be increased from 30 gm to 20 gm per week.

That is all.
