Strong Job Market Expected This Spring

From Fox News:
Roughly one in four employers plan to add workers in the second quarter of the year to keep pace with increased demand for their products or services, according to a survey of 16,000 businesses by Manpower Inc., set for release Tuesday.

"Someone looking for a job no doubt will have an easier time now than in recent memory, than in the past two or three years," said Jeffrey Joerres, Manpower's chief executive officer and chairman. "It's still going to be difficult in that companies are going to begin this process very cautiously."
...
The survey found 28 percent of companies expect to hire more people in the second quarter, while 6 percent intend to cut jobs. The rest anticipate no change or are uncertain about hiring prospects from April to May.
ABC News has coverage on this one as well.

Matt's Chat

Well, well...this doesn't look good for Sen. Ketchup or the Party of Love and their Disciples of Doom in the Democrat Attack Squad (tm). Generally speaking, I don't trust polls or surveys (particularly when the numbers project some event) but if the other guys can hope and pray for bad stuff to happen in America so they can take advantage I suppose I can root for the positive.

Mark's Remarks


Can you just here the liberal attack squad meetings now? "Quick, someone pass a protectionist tariff. Someone order a securities investigation. We cannot let the job market grow, it would defeat our candidate and our lies about the economy....America cannot be working, we can't let this happen, it would prove us to be the pandering liars we really are....." THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY TED KENNEDY AND THE DISCIPLES OF DOOM (tm)!

Seriously, this is good news for the President. I think he needs to get out there and promote his message more. You know, he campaigns out there like Kerry, but why don't we hear his stump speeches? Could the PARTISAN (tm) media of the Democrat Attack Squad(tm) be censoring what Bush is saying? Could they be making decisions based on who they want to win? Surely little miss cutie pie Katie Couric wouldn't do that, would she? You are darned right she and the rest of the Partisan(tm) media would do it.
