The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that, although the economy is showing signs of improvement, employers aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into adding on to their workforce. As such, many are turning to temp agencies to help meet the demand of a slowly improving economy.
LendingTree Chief Economist Cameron Findlay contributed to the story with commentary on his expectations of employment and housing over the next year.
“Most economists say recovery hinges largely on housing, but all indications are that real estate’s turn will be slow. National prices will likely decline about 5 percent more in the next year, said Cameron Findlay, chief economist of LendingTree, the Charlotte-based, online finance and mortgage company. …My concern is that unemployment numbers will remain relatively high until well into 2011.”
Although this report centers on the Atlanta economy, Findlay’s recent economic updates seem to paint a similar picture across the nation.
