This is good news--"U.S. hiring plans near boom levels." (via MSNBC) According to the article:
U.S. companies are gearing up to create jobs at rates not seen since the height of the 1990s boom, a survey released Tuesday showed, adding to evidence that job growth will keep the U.S. economic recovery rolling. . . Thirty percent of polled U.S. employers plan to add to their payrolls in the July to September period, the survey by Manpower Inc. showed. That is up from 20 percent a year earlier and 28 percent in the April to June period. The survey hit its highest level of 35 percent in 2000, powered by the Internet-fueled boom.Posted by B.
