With November's Non Farm Payroll coming out Friday, we thought a few previews this week might be instructive.
One of the leading indicators of job creation are the hirings at various temp services. Companies unsure of future expansion use temp workers, and then shift to full time permanent employees as things firm up. As the 10 year monthly chart nearby shows, Temp Hiring is quite cyclical.
Temp jobs have been declining throughout the year, except for October, when they rose by 20,000, or +0.79%, to 2.58 million. Whether this is the start of a major turn in employment, or merely a statistical blip is unknown now. Note that on a year-over-year basis, October 2007 data represented a decrease of -1.59%.
Let's see what the leadership of one of the big temp firms has to say about this, via WSJ's Real Time Economics:
"Carl Camden, president and CEO of temp giant Kelly Services Inc., calls the job market "perplexing." The economy growing at 3.8% in the second quarter and 4.9% in the third quarter generally should be associated with monthly gains of 150,000 to 250,000 jobs, Mr. Camden said in an interview with the Journal. Instead, GDP and temporary employment growth — once strongly correlated — seem to have decoupled." (emphasis added)
Unless you can show me another ~5% GDP quarter where S&P 500 profits
were down 8.5%, I think the answer to this conundrum is obvious: There has been no "decoupling." What I strongly suspect occurred is that the 4.9% GDP is a fantasy, a statistical
sleight of hand that is half inventory build, and half wildly
understated inflation.
Of course, I could be wildly wrong, inflation may be tame, GDP robust, and the employment picture just fine (your mileage may vary). But I have a sneaking suspicion that is not the case.

I was starting to put together this year's Different Kind of Top 10 Music List (prior versions here: 2006, 2005 and 2004), when I realized I hadn't written up one of my favorite discs this year: Country Ghetto by JJ Grey & Mofro.
I was driving home one night.,. when I hear this sound come oozing out of my car speakers: A funky, steamy, swamp rock blues number, with a long intro that finally came to a great groove: (slide over here and click Turpentine)
On the strength of that song, I ordered the disc, and I was not disappointed. The music is a great cross-breeding experiment across genres: Start with swamp rock, add some smoldering blues, slip in vintage soul, and finally, some gospel-fried funk.
Songwriting influences are apparent: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker,
Jerry Reed, Bill Withers, Otis Redding, Dr. John, Sly
& The Family Stone, Van Morrison, Howlin' Wolf, George Jones, and James Brown.
"a down-and-dirty delight, and a fine addition to the swamp rock canon" -allmusic.com
"intriguing and fortuitous… Grey's a songwriter with a sharp wit and a knack for skewering the hypocrites, jive politicians and carpetbaggers who litter the landscape. The MOFRO vibe travels freely among swamp funk, blues, rock and soul, and does so with a certain down-and-dirty swagger that's as real as it is appealing." -Billboard
"A Southern-fried Sly and the Family Stone." -Don McLees

Forget forecasting: You can't even begin to think about the Future if you don't understand the Present.
Case in point: Holiday Retail sales.
You may have overlooked the Black Friday weekend numbers, as the headline emphasis was on well, how strong they were relative to expectations. On that Friday, we saw an 8.5% gain thanks to huge discounting and door-buster giveaways.
The thinking seemed to be "Sure, we lose money on each sale, but we make it up in volume!"
Amazingly, the cheerleading in the space seems to be abating, as the MSM is now clued into the problem — and reporting it freely. The remarkably sanguinity we have seen over the years is no more.

Metadata[+] Show full item record
A saddle is one of the first pieces of equipment most people buy after they acquire a horse. It is a major investment; selecting and purchasing require much deliberation and knowledge. The life span of most saddles is several times that of a horse, so it is important to take great care in selecting a saddle. This publication provides guidance in selecting and using a saddle.

wag na si gary.......masyado technical kung magjudge........
suggestion lang ABS-CBN sana wag nio naman abusuhin ang voting process neto...
i hope may toll-free landline numbers (like phil. idol, 1908-xfactor) para tlgang pulsuhan ang buong bayan, hindi lang ang may mga cellphones,. and may limit din sana *** votes (PGT2 finale) o kea voting for only 2/4 hours right after the show...
Sana after PBB na ito ipalabas, kasi kung isusunod nila ito after PGT, tiyak na mauumay na ang Kapamilya viewers sa ganyang style of competition!
pwede rin siguro si Toni Gonzaga as one of the judges/mentors.
It's also important that they choose the right TV host for this assignment. Di pwede sina Luis dito. Di bagay. I go for having Drew Arellano or Iya Villania for this. Lalo na si Iya Villania. Bagay sila sa The X Factor. I've been watching the UK series for years already. Hindi talaga biro ang show na 'to. Mas crucial din ang role ng host guys kesa sa ini-expect natin.
Malaking show 'tong The X Factor. Sobrang taas ng production value. A good example would be the UK version. My gulay, wow lang.
Given na maganda din ang line-up ng judges (dapat credible at experienced) at more importantly, ng contestants ng The X Factor Philippines, this will be a hit.
My picks would be:
Gary V.
Sharon Cuneta
Martin Nievera
Vina Morales/Zsa Zsa Padilla
I am so excited for this show! PGT is just nearing its graveyard...
^^tapos na naman ang PBB pag nagumpisa ito. teka, ito ba talaga mauuna o yung The Voice. siguro pwede muna pagpahingahin ng ilang weeks si Toni sa ASAP para dito. hehe.
Bianca Gonzalez would be a good host!

No, China won't save film by itself. If Kodak stops selling film, don't expect anybody to take over their equipment. It will get scrapped out, and then business will shift to other surviving manufacturers.
I didnt mean that Chinese consumers would save film, but rather Chinese manufacturers. China could manufacture film in a cost effective way for export to the west. Something Kodak cannot do even after a decade of trying.

Packers TE Finley out of ICU, thanks fans

Green Bay, Wis. • Packers tight end Jermichael Finley has tweeted that he left the intensive care unit and had full feeling in his arms and legs after injuring his neck in a game.
Finley posted Monday night on Twitter that he was able to walk to and from the shower. He thanked family, friends, teammates and fans for an outpouring of support.
Coach Mike McCarthy has said Finley's injury is significant, and that more tests are needed to determine the severity. Finley was hurt in the fourth quarter of a 31-13 win over the Browns on Sunday after getting hit by Cleveland safety Tashaun Gipson.
Finley wrote on Twitter: "Thank u again 4 the support, and Go Packers!"

The Insurgents: David Petraeus and the Plot to Change the American Way of War
Simon and Schuster, Jan 2, 2013 - History - 418 pages
The inside story of the small group of soldier-scholars who changed the way the Pentagon does business and the American military fights wars, against fierce resistance from within their own ranks.
The Insurgents is the inside story of the small group of soldier-scholars, led by General David Petraeus, who plotted to revolutionize one of the largest, oldest, and most hidebound institutions—the United States military. Their aim was to build a new Army that could fight the new kind of war in the post–Cold War age: not massive wars on vast battlefields, but "small wars" in cities and villages, against insurgents and terrorists. These would be wars not only of fighting but of "nation building," often not of necessity but of choice.
Based on secret documents, private emails, and interviews with more than one hundred key characters, including Petraeus, the tale unfolds against the backdrop of the wars against insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the main insurgency is the one mounted at home by ambitious, self-consciously intellectual officers—Petraeus, John Nagl, H. R. McMaster, and others—many of them classmates or colleagues in West Point's Social Science Department who rose through the ranks, seized with an idea of how to fight these wars better. Amid the crisis, they forged a community (some of them called it a cabal or mafia) and adapted their enemies' techniques to overhaul the culture and institutions of their own Army.
Fred Kaplan describes how these men and women maneuvered the idea through the bureaucracy and made it official policy. This is a story of power, politics, ideas, and personalities—and how they converged to reshape the twenty-first-century American military. But it is also a cautionary tale about how creative doctrine can harden into dogma, how smart strategists—today's "best and brightest"—can win the battles at home but not the wars abroad. Petraeus and his fellow insurgents made the US military more adaptive to the conflicts of the modern era, but they also created the tools—and made it more tempting—for political leaders to wade into wars that they would be wise to avoid.

Bond formed by Wong, Garcia rooted on island
College teammates experiencing playoffs together
ST. LOUIS -- Greg Garcia arrived on the University of Hawaii campus by way of Southern California, where, as a junior, he received a mailing from a Hawaii baseball program that he didn't even know existed. Curiosity led him to do an Internet search, at which time he discovered that not only was there a program, but a thriving one. The team had just enjoyed a 45-win season in 2006 that featured an NCAA Regional invite and a swell of local support.
Kolten Wong knew all of that already, having long followed the team that played just an island hop away from his home on Hawaii's Big Island. And he was known, too.

Thanks to the generous support of KKOOM's GlobalGiving supporters, young adults Hohyeong, Areum, Jindong, and Juhyeon were able to get new clothes for job interviews and other professional engagements they had recently in Korea. All four of these young adults grew up in orphanages here in Korea and have since gone on to get jobs or attend college. KKOOM's Post-High School Support Initiative has helped them make the transition from orphanage life to self-sufficiency by providing them with small, tangible assistance through the gift of new clothes. Along with the clothes, we've provided mentorship, career advice, and encouragement along the way. Your generous financial support helps make these one-to-one contacts of kindness possible on an ongoing basis. Thank you!!

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Excellent tour!!
It was a great tour! The food was wonderful and our guide Nick was very informative and personable. He said he'd only been doing it a few weeks, but he really knew his stuff and did great. I know the rest of my group felt the same way. It was something different and a way to see a little more of Nassau than we would have likely done on our own. Thanks!
This was a great tour. We got to learn a lot of history of Nassau in addition to trying some local food. We did walk more than expected and a lot of it was uphill.
This tour was so awesome. It really gives you local options for dining if you are staying in the area. Lexi, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the history of Nassau. Definitely recommended.
One of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and approachable! We learned so much! Thank you!
I always try to do walking food tours whenever I go some place new. Lexi was an excellent guide. At two of the restaurants - the owners where there. Lexi shared facts/history with us as we walked between stops. The food was great!
The tour was fun! Not too long and not too short. Really enjoyed the food. Lexie, our tour guide, was awesome! Very attentive and informative. Wouldn't recommend for kids under 8 or so, especially if they are picky eaters and easily bored. Highly recommended!
Alanna was wonderful, personable, knowledgeable and excited to be leading the tour. I was the most excited for this tour and it lived up to my expectations and then some. I thought each venue we went to was very welcoming to the group and there was such a variety of things to try. I would recommend this tour to anyone and it really kept me excited to continue to try the Bahamian fair after the tour was over. Alanna even recommened a bunch of places to eat and they were wonderful suggestions. It is well worth taking time out of a beach day to partake. -Meredith Boston, MA
This tour was fantastic! Our guide Lexie was great and was very informative. The food was the best. When we come back next year, I will be sure to eat at these places. Great job Lexie! The information and the history behind the food was great and educational. I am glad that we did this tour. It really provided the information and shine some light on this culture and this country.
Amazing!! Even though the weather was tough, our guides made our time very enjoyable. The food is delicious, and tour was remarkable! Thanks again!!
Alex was a fantastic tour guide with an obvious pride in her country. This tour was more than we ever expected and we would gladly repeat it on another stop in Nassau. The walking was limited and we were never far from the dock so never fear, you won't miss your return in time for sailing. The foods were delicious and the entire 3 hours was most educational.
We had a phenomenal time on this tour! Claire, our tour guide, was extremely informative and made it fun. The food was amazing, and offered a great variety. They were also accommodating, as we had someone who doesn't like seafood or alcohol. They had a different dish prepared for her when needed.
This tour was deliciously interesting and a highlight of our trip. Alanna and Rick were awesome, super informative and fun. We are definitely going back to some of the restaurants before we leave. You can expect to eat great, local cuisine, learn the history of the location and have fun w/the guides.
A historical, cultural and culinary treat all rolled into a great afternoon! And, a bit of exercise to boot! Highly recommended! ☆☆☆☆☆+
Even though we've visited Nassau every year for the last 15 years, this was still an enlightening experience. We really enjoyed the tour and our guide. Interesting places to visit downtown.
Was very informative. Food was very good Guide was great. Very enjoyable 4 hours strolling through the city
We were greeted by our guide Lexi, a proud Bahamian interested in sharing the food culture and history of the Bahamas at a beautiful church. We meandered through Nassau stopping at some really nice places dedicated to the food culture of the Bahamas. The food was delicious best pita bread I have ever had and the tour was very educational. If you enjoy food tours, this one should be on your list.
I highly recommend this tour. Murrey and Sarah were incredable. Both very knowlegable, interested in sharing thier slant on everything.Murrey talked for the whole three plus hours.The tour had six food stops and two cultural stops.(NEEDED TO BREAK UP THE FOOD STOTS). We tasted conch fritters,rice and peas,jerk chicken,fried plantains,conch chowder made with red curry and coconut milk(my favorite),both dark and white chocolates.Greek salad,and rum cake,andlocal beer and "Bushmans remedys"(teas).At each stop Murrey regaled us with history, anecdotes,and insight to ingredients and personal health implications.This is a tour not to be missed.
Loved the tour, history and especially the food!!!
The tour was a highlight of the Bahamian cuisine with a flavor of the Bahamian culture, architecture and socio-political situation. Alanna was very sweet, knowledgeable and entertaining. We highly recommend this tour
Food was great, one "taste" was almost lunch-sized, guide was outstanding.
Our guide tour was really nice. Interesting. Totally recommended
The tour was fantastic. Our guide, Murray, was excellent explaining the foods in Nassau and the history. Would recommend this tour especially if you get Murray.
Well worth the money. Highly recommend.
Alice is an excellent tour guide that took us on a walking tour to six different destinations where we were provided delicious food and an overview of various interesting facts about Nassau Bahamas.
This tour is a must for the person who just loves to taste different types of food and may be on Carnival Cruise line which has a short stay in the Bahamas. Don't worry you'll be able to have fun with other activities by about 3:00 p.m.
After the food tour, we decided to go to the Pirate Museum located just opposite to the start of this tour at Christ Church Cathedral. This is good place to learn about historical naval piracy from tour guides and various displays.
In summary, if you have been to Nassau Bahamas many times and wondering what should I do that is different and memorable, be pleasantly surprised with the food tour and Pirate Museum.

editor's review
Information security and privacy protection are popular topics in the IT sector, since malevolent users find more and more ways to intercept private messages, which can result in data theft. Fortunately, there are a multitude of applications out there that can assist you in safely encrypting your documents and messages, adding an extra layer of security to your private data.
Encrypt or decrypt text pieces and files
CryptoX is included in this category, providing a lightweight utility that binds simplicity and functionality together under a user-friendly interface.
Built using the Java programming language, it helps you encrypt the content of your documents and messages, in order to prevent others from reading your personal conversations or files. Also, it can reverse the procedure and decrypt encoded texts.
AES-based encryption for texts
The application relies on the AES encryption algorithm and unfortunately, no other similar technique is supported. The Advanced Encryption Standard supports block sizes of a maximum of 256 bits. You can optionally assign a password to your message using the password-based encryption standard (PKCS5). The generated encoded text is displayed within the main window, enabling you to easily copy it to the clipboard or export it to an existing text file on your computer.
Encrypting a text file is just as easy, since you simply have to browse to its location using the integrated explorer, add the desired file to the list and press the 'Encrypt' button to generate the unreadable file.
Cross-platform text and file encryption tool
CryptoX could use enhancements to rise up to the value of its competitors, but its ease of use and the simple GUI makes it a viable tool for encrypting messages prior to sending them to others. It allows both text and file encryption and comes in handy for protecting your private information.

Driver was waiting for us before we collected our luggage.
The Driver was waiting for us at our baggage carousel and was friendly and very helpful.
Had same driver which was great
I had tried to book a transfer with the company my daughters have been using over there with not luck, so this was very much last minute dot com and I was pleasantly surprised. We had been delayed and the bus had waited for us so that we would not be stranded.
Lovely company to use.
Sunbus driver showed up right on time to take us to airport. Definitely will use them again.
On time and got us to our destination.
Friendly affordable service.
Very nice picked us up on time and made the ride to the airport very comfortable.
When we arrived at Sydney Airport, it was late and drizzly. We were mis-directed as to where to meet the shuttle. While attempting, again, to get directions, our shuttle driver located us in the terminal and led us to the shuttle. What great service! Having ordered the voucher online prior to our trip was so convenient!
Worked really well for us. Just go to the meeting place and wait for the driver. Dropped us right at the hotel and was very helpful.
Driver was on time and helpful
The driver was waiting for us at airport as we were told, we then walked to the bus that was about 200 mtrs away, the driver then drove all to thier hotels in a very orderly fashion. We arrived safely, thankyou.
Driver was waiting for me when I arrived good for females travelling alone. He didn't say much but got me to my hotel safely. Jo Bosso
My wife left her some items on the shuttle and immediately contacted them and was told the driver was already on his way back to return the lost item.
That's very impressive.
RitaNimfa M
Excellent airport hotel transfer. The Driver waited for us patiently.
The transfer from airport to hotel and return was great. Drivers were polite and on time. I will certainly use this facility again for future travels.
easy to find and efficient
always use sunbus !!
Arrived in Sydney amid total chaos and huge crowds and was panicked that I wouldn't find my ride but the lady organizer found me right away - great service.
Efficient service
They met us as they said they would and got us to the hotel. Good service
John M
Would use again
It was a very pleasant experience in Sydney; however, the driver dropped us off on the side of the Econolodge and not in front so therefore we had to haul our baggage at least 1/2 block or more and we had 4 bags plus our carry-ons. JAlexander
Pick up at Sydney airport was very good.We were 30mins late sunbus
driver waited for us. Would use again.
Reliable - ideal if you have a tight schedule!

Celebrity Infinity Cruise Review by uncaandy: Infinity - Alaska
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Celebrity Infinity Alaska Cruises
Infinity - Alaska
Alaska on the Infinity July 16th 2006. The WORST travel experience I have ever had in 30 odd years of world travel. After the ship docked to pick us up (5 hours late) & keeping us waiting in an exhibition hall (1930 of us) for over 7 hours (having fed us tuna sandwiches). We felt like Katrina victims at the Superdome.
Upon boarding we were NOT greeted by anyone & had to find our own way to the stateroom. Our bags did not arrive at our room until nearly midnight.
Food service a breakfast in the main dining room a disaster every morning. 45 minute waits, cold food, wrong food coming to the table (still waiting for the grits I ordered 1st day).
The second day (still in port) we ALL had to get off the ship to go thru customs(these idiots didn't arrange for a customs official when we 1st boarded).
This was how every day went; skipped ports, never saw the Inside Passage in daylight, no one with any answers, didn't receive my shipboard casino More credit until the LAST day.
The most appalling thing was no one in the Spa asked my wife about any possible medical problems before putting her in an over 100 degree milk bath unattended(not even a glass of water).
The list could go on for pages. My feeling is we were robbed of our vacation by the daily aggravations & inadequate compensation from Celebrity. If you have engine problems DON'T SEND OUT THE SHIP. If you do pay the price RETURN most of my $ for the lost days. Less

Comments about Whirlpool 26.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - White Ice:
We have had this fridge for about 4-5 moths now. Works as it should and the French doors are awesome. The plastic drawer in the freezer section concerns me for longevity but we owned a Whirpool before for 10+ years w/ no issues so that is why we stayed with this brand when it finally conked out. Great space and water, ice function works well. Seems a bit noisier than our last version but it is fine. Interior LED lighting is awesome and changing the filter up top is a nice feature.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I BOUGHT THIS ON LINE. I ORDERED IT ON SEPT.8th, GIVEN A SEPT.18th DELIVERY DATE. I WAS NOTIFIED OF A CHANGE OF DELIVERY DATE TO SEPT.25th. ON THE 24th I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WOULD BE DELIVERED ON MONDAY, THE 28th. WHEN I ORIGINALLY PLACED DTHE ORDER, I REQUESTED AN AFTERNOON DELIVERY. AT ABOUT 6:50 A.M. ON THE 28th I GOT A CALL FROM THE DELIVERY SERVICE, SAYING THEY WOULD ARRIVE IN 15 OR 20 MINUTES. HOW IS 8:00 A.M. AN AFTERNOON DELIVERY???
Sorry Case
By The Old Man
from South, central Indiana
Well, Whirlpool asked our opinion and we are going to be honest. We have had a lot of problems with this refrigerator which is the 29 inch French door model. The unit is poorly designed with the ice maker actually inside the refrigerator causing frost inside of the refrigerator. We have also had frost, heavy frost inside the freezer. The ice maker failed after 3 weeks of delivery and it took a month to get it repaired. The outside paint or finish is some special stuff and you can't use glass cleaner, auto wax or a whole list of other common items people would use for the doors and so forth. Further, this better idea is not. When you fill the freezer, you can find anything. We had a GE 27 in before this that was a side by side and it was much better. People need to realize that just because something comes out that is "new", doesn't mean it is better. Another annoying feature is the ice maker in that you have to run it on fast ice all of the time to keep up with demand (only two in our family) and the storage tray is way too small and thus does not hold much. We would NOT buy another Whirlpool in this design and in fact wish we had our old model GE back. IT was 22 years old and never had a problem of any kind. Whirlpool in our opinion is a poorly managed company. Do you hear us NOW Whirlpool?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Plenty of Storage in this Fridge
By jan
from Thomson, Ga.
We just bought this refrigerator after remodeling our kitchen. Have been happy with it so far except it seems to have something running all the time. It does have lots of room. I like the French doors and the pull out freezer.
Loud refrigerator
By stan
from new orleans
We have had this refrigerator for less than a year and have had a major on se problem. After opening the door and dispensing ice for meals it runs through a cycle making a noise that you can hear in any room in the house. We have had repairman out numerous times and he could not pinpoint the problem. Basically told us to wait until it did not function anymore then call him! Would give anything to be able to return to Whirlpool. Never have we had an issue with an appliance before.
One major flaw...
By Mike
from Deerfield Beach,FL
The ice maker is very weak! The container is half the size of our former Kithchen Aid fridge. It makes ice very slowly, and you have to manually select "Fast Ice" option (if you can remember!) all the time to speed it up. The ice container is on the top fridge side, and can be a little tricky putting it back. Also, there is a non-removable divider on the bottom freezer compartment that SHOULD be removable if needed. Other than those two glaring flaws, the fridge and freezer is roomy and nice...
It's quiet too!
By Ella
from Marion Ohio
My new fridge is so beautiful and spacious. It's stainless steel surface is easy to keep clean and so very attractive. It still holds a magnet that leaves no Mark behind. I only need two filters per year and you can change filters in a couple of seconds . The ice maker is super fast and the refrigerator is very quiet I love it .
This refrigerator is the worst
By no loyalty to Whirlpool
from Orland Park, Il
I have never had so many problems with a new appliance. We have contacted Whirlpool on five different occasions to repair a drip in the ceiling of the refrigerator. Each repair man claimed to have fixed the problem but they never did. We ended up getting a new refrigerator from Whirlpool. The new model has exactly the same problem with the addition of the freezer doors do not seal properly allowing ice buildup. I am actively pursuing Whirlpool currently in hopes of ridding myself of this appliance.
Great Addition to the home

Oshkosh Bearish Signs
Published on Friday, 11 May 2012 04:30 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, May 11th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) ended the trading session lower by $0.3 or -1.35% from its previous close. Oshkosh's price action formed what is considered to be a bearish engulfing candlestick chart pattern.
Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) designs, manufactures and markets severe heavy duty all wheel drive defense or military trucks, aircraft or emergency rescue and firefighting vehicles. The Company provides products such as pumpers, aerial and ladder trucks, tankers, rescue vehicles, snow removal vehicles, refuse truck bodies, and concrete mixers.
Oshkosh's current stock range is determined by calculated support defined at $21.75 and by the resistance level at $23.77, which should be used by traders planning their next move.
If traders want to establish a position in Oshkosh, they need to pay close attention at the bearish engulfing pattern, since it could mark a trend reversal in the current price action. The Bearish engulfing pattern is a leading warning sign; therefore, traders should closely monitor Oshkosh for indications of a trend reversal. Below an Engulfing Bearish Candle Illustration:

Executives in Dubai, particularly in the finance sector, are positive about the year ahead but worries about finding the talent to fill the demand continue to grow...
August 30, 2012 12:50 by Muhammad Aldalou
Despite growing concerns of the Euro zone crisis that many multi-national corporations continue to stomach, confidence in Dubai's recruitment growth is soaring, according to International recruiter Robert Half. Seeping through the results of this international survey, one is pleased to read that confidence levels among financial executives in Dubai are certainly taking an upward trend. On the other hand, the city continues to lack adequate supply of talent to meet this demand and Kipp reckons that until that curve is fixed, the question of demand is moot.
In fact, the results of the survey come with a fluctuation of mixed messages. On one end the level of optimism among financial executives and recruiters is increasing, but whether this optimism is measured by statistical forecasts is unknown. A real statistic however is the 91 percent of Dubai executives who complain about the challenges of finding adequate talent to meet the openings they claim to be ready to create.
"Unfortunately demand outweighs supply and CFOs are reporting difficulties in sourcing the talent they require, particularly in the finance and compliance functions," says James Sayer, associate director at Robert Half UAE.
Nevertheless, over fifty percent of those questioned confidently said that they are planning to hire full time employees before the end of this year, or at the start of the next. Considering that Dubai has made an internationally recognized business image for itself, finding the talent to fit the supply gaps shouldn't be too difficult, should it?
"Confidence levels are high amongst executives who are looking for highly strategic and commercially-focused professionals to help leverage business growth opportunities. Workloads persist and additional M&A activity is resulting in increased demand for skilled finance professionals," Sayer added.
All in all, brushing aside negative forecasts of a supply deficit, most executives and questioned recruiters paint a happier picture, particularly for the year ahead. Do you feel that 2013 will bring a brighter business year for Dubai and the Middle East?
