"With Election Day behind us we are looking forward to the jobs
numbers being less political than they have been in previous months
leading up to the presidential election. We have recently seen some
encouraging signs with the unemployment rate holding steady for
August and September -- the lowest levels in nearly two years --
but the true indicator will be in the months ahead. The trend in
job creation over several months provides a more meaningful gauge
on the direction of employment than any single month's data.
"Staffing companies are often seen as key barometers of the health
of the economy and we are optimistic the job figures will continue
in a positive direction. The impending holidays are resulting in
normal seasonal demand at this point and we believe we are in the
midst of a healthy recovery that should have a fairly long life.
Job creation remains on a path of solid growth and the trend shows
ongoing stability for the employment picture overall. An average of
170,000 jobs have been added each month. At that rate, we should
see over two million jobs created by year's end." About Kelly
