"Your job may be next"

Nice CNN/Money headline. But hey, we're not trying to talk down the economy. Honest.

But if there's help wanted at your company (as per the graphic), it's not gonna fire you - you HAVE a job. I'm confused.

Funny how the use a picture of a "help wanted" sign to make their point...

[sirshackleton]

Yes, it was not long ago that Gephardt and company were very upset that the economy was being "talked down". I hope they will jump on this right away.

"Help wanted?" Er...isn't that good news?

[netmilsmom]

That's actually pretty funny.
Poor libs, they are in a tizzy.

Actually, if you worked at CNN...

John Silvia, chief economist at Wachovia Securities, noted other reasons employers might be slower than ever to hire new workers, including employee health-care costs and a rising level of overseas production. He warned that even the Federal Reserve's campaign of cutting interest rates to 40-year lows, as well as the tax cuts recently signed into law by President Bush, might not help create many new jobs, even if they boost the economy. "If we get increased demand, where is the supply coming from? Is it domestic, or is it imported from Canada, Latin America and Asia? That's still an open question," Silvia said.

A valid point. Investment of corporate monies not taxed might go overseas. Good for stockholders (hopefully) but not for US jobs.

Funny but if it's just a sign posted in a store window how many H1B's are going to cross the Pacific and just happen to notice that ONE SIGN ??

Help wanted is a good sign that things are getting better.

typical for cnnfn.com...those webdingelberriers are constantly focusing on the bad.

Only CNN could spin a Market recovery that continues in SPITE of the constant gloom and doom forcasts of some sort of reactionary slowdown, increased Q1 activity in the service sector DESPITE terrorism and the SARS hype and a first quarter GDP a hair higher than expected as a BAD thing.

Sheesh.
