Since Pollyanna is my middle name, I’ve been trying to find positive things to say about the employment situation.  According to Manpower’s research, 15% of the employers in the U.S. are hiring.  Not as good as 75%, but people are hiring nonetheless.

The New York Times agrees with me.  Read the recent article they posted called Bright Spot in the Downturn: New Hiring is Robust. 

You’ll see in the article that according to the BLS, 4.8 million people were laid off or chose to leave their jobs in February while employers throughout the country hired 4.3 million employees.  We are a very dynamic economy!

And I’ll repeat what I’ve said before — over 91% of us are working.
