“26% of Companies Planning to Hire.”

If a survey done by a Milwaukee-based global staffing company is correct on 26% of companies are going to hiring. Then why are there so many people who do not have jobs. They surveyed 14,000 companies on hiring workers. Out of the 14,000 companies, the survey showed that 9% will be decreasing, 60% will have no change, 5% don’t know of any changes as of right now. Then you have the 26% that are going to hire more people.
When reading the article in the Journal from March 11, 2008, the article says that there will be an increase on jobs then shows that 63,000 jobs were slashed in the last month. And yet 26% companies are planning to hire and you have so many that are losing their jobs.
So how can hobs increase when there are so many people losing their jobs on a daily base. There is also the question of how many of these companies that are going to hire, are hiring for more than one job? Another very interesting question that I would like to bring up, is how many of these companies that are going to be hiring within the next few are going to be letting go of their workers? I hear it all the time that a company is going to be hiring and then the next thing that you know, there are workers losing their jobs.
There are so many different factors here that are not be talking about or even thought of when this article was written. But the one thing that is very interesting is that there are is a good size percentage of companies that are going to hire but then at the same time, there are a lot of people that do not have a job or are being laid off.
