"Job openings in July at nine-year low" by Associated Press | September 10, 2009
WASHINGTON - Some technology companies also are adding workers. IBM Corp. is hiring or retraining up to 4,000 people to work on data analysis projects. It hopes to profit as more businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies seek to use reams of data they have collected to analyze trends.
I thought it was to protect us from "terrorists."
For example, IBM is helping the New York City police and fire departments use their data to anticipate fires and crime.
That's a joke, right?
“More and more organizations have mountains of data that is valuable for making decisions,’’ said Jim Spohrer, IBM’s director of global university programs. Spohrer’s group is working with colleges and universities worldwide to encourage more training in the field, known as analytics.
***************
Job openings fell to the lowest level in nine years in July, the Labor Department reported yesterday....
Still, jobs are being added in some sectors, including health care and technology.
(blog editor just shaking his head in disgust at the insulting lies; did you know that when I was in college they told us that words like but, still, yet, etc, are BAD WORDS for a REPORT)
With 14.5 million unemployed people in July and only 2.4 million openings, that means there were six unemployed people, on average, for every job opening.
That can't be right.
"For each opening, dozens of other people seemed willing to work for less money"
Maybe SOME of YOU GLOBE REPORTERS might want to read this article yourselves. Give you some good career options.

The report also adds to evidence that companies probably will wait until the economy is clearly recovering before hiring. Many analysts believe the economy is likely to grow at a healthy 3 percent rate in the second half of this year, pulling the country out of the worst recession since the 1930s.
Yup, sure. Those are the lies they are going to fill us with over the next few months, huh?
See: What Type of Recession Is It?
Yup, one day it is the worst economic crisis since the '30s, the next it is since the end of WWII. Whatever, MSM. I'm sick of your double-talking BS!
But they also worry the growth will be difficult to sustain once government stimulus measures are no longer in effect....
Translation: the "growth" we had was ALL ARTIFICIAL PUMPING by the GOVERNMENT! The "stimulus" was nothing more than a LIST of FAVORED PROJECTS and INTERESTS of DEMOCRATS!
Because there are NO JOBS this economy is DEAD, America!!!
It's a DYING CORPSE exhaling its last breaths!
--more--"
Oh, and about the non-existent recovery the MSM is claiming?
"the recession has gotten so bad that.... --more--"
But, still, the paper claims we are adding jobs!
