So long, 2011, and hello, 2012! Goodbye to the scandals and upsets, it’s time for a clean slate, and, hopefully, a better economy.
Studies show that the U.S. economy will grow faster in 2012, from less that 2% growth in 2011, to about 2.4% in the New Year! And although this year is ending on a high note, – for the last five months in a row, the economy has generated about 100,000 new jobs, the longest streak since 2006- many economists say that the U.S. economy remains vulnerable to an outside shock. A major global crisis could stall job creation and raise unemployment.
Even without an outside jolt, some economists expect barely enough job creation in 2012 to stay ahead of population growth with the added return of discouraged workers into the labor force. This means that the time for job searching is more important than ever, and whether you are looking for extra money to start the New Year with, or if you are on the search for the perfect job that suits your profession, a temp agency might be the best way to find it.
Temp/Staffing Agencies are experienced at finding jobs, and are credible sources for businesses to hire from. Assignments can be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs and the needs of the company. They are experienced at finding the positions that specifically fit your qualifications. If the placement doesn’t end up suiting you, you can move on to the next assignment. However, if you are looking for permanent placement, a great many temporary assignments turn into full-time employment opportunities.
Economists say that if Europe can stabilize its economies, the U.S. stock markets would rally, and U.S. economic growth could begin again. We will have to wait and see what will happen, and hope that the New Year brings prosperity to all. Are you ready for what 2012 will bring?
