First observation/question: How are the surveyed workers selected and how do they know whether their employer is hiring or not? During my corporate career, my various employers might announce an intention to hire but, quite often, didn’t follow through.

Second observation/question: Is a distinction made between hiring one new employee and several new employees? Might make a difference.

All of it temp stuff probably. Work you 10-12 hours a day for $10 an hour, with no chance of long term.

And, pray tell, where the distinction is that these anecdotes of peoples’ company “hiring” more workers saying ‘full time benefits jobs?’.

One easy explanation is firing a full time benefits employee and hiring two part-timers.

Frankly, I can’t put any stock into what the average American worker thinks; they are too much bombarded with bullsh!t to be relevant.

My employer albeit has issues and is still shedding jobs. Thinking about doing consulting for a while if my future is freed up, although ocare has me kinda nervous about doing that. I just figure be nice of control my future myself for a while.

I’m not sure how folks can be enthusiastic right now as I don’t read about a lot of hiring anywhere.

If the GOP doesn’t take the Senate, this fake market will tank.

Wow ... I mean, I was totally impressed when it was +26 ... but I am beside myself now that it is +27.

Can +28 be too far behind ... ??
