In reply to the discussion: Hiring Logjam Breaks as CEOs Plan Fastest U.S. Growth Since 2006 [View all]cascadiance
(19,537 posts)30. I just had two interviews the last three days of this last week and one on Monday...
Each with separate companies. The most action I've ever had at the same time.
Though all of them are for contract jobs. So I'm guessing a lot of this ramp up is going to be trying to staff up with more contractors to catch up on the work that's been building up over the last year or so with smaller staffs. Would be interesting to see the breakdown of how much of these hires are contractors vs. permanent employees.
Still contract jobs are better than nothing. Hopefully we can get single payer health care coverage soon and the necessary state wavers to get them going in states that want them soon to make up for the big hole of health coverage that many of these contractor positions will have.

I hope that businesses are realizing just how valuable the American work ethic is.
