November, 2004
It's Veteran's Day, 2004 and the vets have marched up Fifth Avenue to the applause of a sparse crowd. Well, for job seekers, the crowd is sparse but there is applause again.
Contractors are getting assignments (although one large bank has already told us tat rates will be cut by 5% with the new year).
A Jersey City firm pulled a position from us, saying that they had two finalists for it only to report later that day that both had turned down their offer.
Interview numbers are up across the board.
What's going on?
With the election over and some stability in our government, the next two years should be decent for labor. Few firms are not hiring; all firms are trying to keep salaries down and profits are up.
I should have some data about new projects for 2005 but my expecttaion is that staffing will continue its ascent. I'll drop some hints as the month evolves.
