Report: More Businesses Looking To Staff Up

"Now hiring" notices haven't been all that common of late. However, this trend may soon be reversing itself, according to recent research from Careerbuilder and Robert Half International. The "2009 Employment Dynamics and Growth Report" polled 500 employees and 500 businesses. The survey found that 53% of employers said they planned on hiring new full-time staff within the next 12 months. Forty percent said they were eyeing temporary or contract workers. Less than a quarter (23%) said they had no hiring plans at this time. The results are some welcome news, considering the United States unemployment rate hit 9.7% in September.
