The issue...Jobs.
A total of $100,032,604 was spent to broadcast 52 ads related to the presidential campaign on the issue of jobs from April 3 to Oct. 27, 2008, according to statistics compiled by Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks political advertising expenditures.
Layoffs and hiring freezes announced by Companies in the broader economy can ripple throughout the Staffing Industry by causing management to cut back on their costs by "making do" with less staff, and this can make it harder for these companies to maintain market share, fueling the ongoing decline in revenues and profits.
Given the weak labor market, only the most skilled, talented and motivated employees will uncover, discover and leverage opportunities to contribute. The economy may be weak, but it is not without prospects.
Staffing Industry employers might be well served by taking a hard look at the capabilities of their employees and how they are deployed. To preserve a place in the market and prosper for longer term benefit, only the best and brightest should be "on the team," so to speak, in revenue generating assignments. Tolerating mediocrity is risky. Finding talent is difficult with the unemployment rate increasing.
We can help make an investment in finding and hiring talent produce sustaining, material results.
