Well we lost fewer jobs than expected. WOO HOO! Happy happy, joy, joy? Not if one of the lost jobs was yours. Personal spending up? Ok use those credit cards. WOO HOO! Happy happy, joy, joy? When you going to pay those babies off? Government Motors, sorry I mean General Motors, is now going to close 660 fewer dealerships from among the 2,000 they were planning to close. WOO HOO! Happy happy, joy, joy? Why close any if they are making a profit? This is still America where a man or woman has an inherent right to pursue the (their) right, liberty and the (our) pursuit of happiness. Let them duke it out. Of are we losing our sense of what freedom to make choice about our lives and lively hood is?
Larson Notes & Satire: I keep looking at jobs and the job market as the way to American (and yours and my) prosperity. Last week I got one of those disappointing emails that one of our clients here was suspending service for a week. But that is good news for them. Why. Because we over booked there sales department with too many sales leads and appointments. I started thinking, since we have all this Obama money and job stimulation money why doesn’t the government look at companies that are hit by imports from abroad and then give money to companies (like mine) that give jobs to people in America and to book them sales leads and appointments to sell more American made products. Then those companies will need to hire more American workers. Is this too simple or am I too blond?
The focused industries we are looking to add clients in for the month are Advertising Specialties, Trade Show Booth Builder, Sign Shop, a Graphic Design Studio, and Printers both small and mid-sized in certain regional areas.
We are still looking for sales persons in all areas except
The Midwest, Great Plains States, South Central Regions.
We are also in need of 1 to 3 at home appointment setters with printing and other various backgrounds.
If interested give us a call at 847-991-0488.
