Good News for Me

H/t Calculated Risk
It appears that there has been a surge in temporary hires, which, considering that I have been doing technical temping over the past 16 years, is a very good thing:
A surge in temporary employment was one of the encouraging aspects of a Labor Department report issued [last] Friday. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 10 percent in November. Overall job losses fell to just 11,000 while temporary jobs grew by 52,000 in the fourth consecutive monthly increase in this bellwether category.
Temp help tends to lead changes in permanent employment, and I've noticed an uptick in submittals, despite it being the post-Thanksgiving doldrums.

Hopefully, this means that I will shortly have less time for my blog.
