Good News on Jobs

For those of you with kids in college, on the personal payroll, good news in store. The US economy is approaching full employment. UPI via M&C news:

CHICAGO, IL, United States (UPI) -- U.S. college grads in 2006 are expected to find plenty of work opportunities awaiting them, a consultancy said Monday.

The 416,000 jobs added in January and February is the strongest evidence that this year`s 1.4 million college graduates will probably enjoy the best entry-level job market since the dot.com collapse in 2001, said Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a global outplacement consultancy. Even non-graduates will benefit as they seek summer jobs and internships.

Of course Illinois lags behind the rest of the country on job growth, the 4th worst in the country, and if you've heard otherwise from our current governor, his own Auditor General says he's been making it up.
