Most people agree that there will be a demand for workers as soon as we start the recovery process (no, I do not subscribe to the idea that the recession ended in June of 2009).\u00a0 Companies are running in a most efficient manner right now due to the fact that they had to cut staff to the bone.\u00a0 Growth\/expansion will require an expansion of most company\u2019s workforces.\u00a0 The supply of workers will be limited due to the Baby Boomer retirements and the great decrease in workers in Gen X.<\/p>\n
