The contradiction that showed U.S. employment and unemployment both going up in January is one of several complex aspects of the labor market's road from recession to recovery, The Conference Board reported March 2. Real GDP, consumer spending, and productivity increased in the U.S. in late 2009, and the speed of job losses declined from 2008 and the first half of 2009. But there have not been consistent monthly gains in net hiring. In January 2010, the U.S. labor market shed jobs, yet the unemployment rate fell.

We are completely automated and are sensitive to and capable of providing our clients with data and information critical to effectively managing labor. Soon we will have real-time web access for our clients, detailing order status, hours worked and an assortment of management reports.
