I've personally hired 5 new people in the last 3 weeks. This is in retail. Business is booming over here.

Sadly, Progressive are bollocks purveyors of the first order.

Sorry, Zeity.

Rely on jobstats instead.

Maybe

Wishful thinking on their part.
Nevertheless, expect some upturn in the next month or so.
Lots of stuff put off for the 2nd half of the year.

.Net I presume !

The market is proving pretty resilient considering all the gloom out there, but saying that my phone has gone quiet this past week or two.

The S3 lot do you make you laugh, I'm with a newer S3 bunch but exactly the same lines and tactics.

Goodness knows what I put on it way back then.

I bet that's an odyssey...

Some of the pimps I've been speaking to have been saying that the market is unstable rather than stagnant. A lot of ClientCos have been waiting after the Apr year end to see how the economy is going in light of the much-hyped recession. But the work is still needing done, people are still buying stuff (retail up 3.3%) and so there are quite a few contracts coming out about now as clients try to spend the money they've been hoarding.

But then it was a pimp who told me that. They'd tell you the moon was green cheese if they thought they could make a buck from it.
