job growth pickup time for toys

Well would you look at that, the economy does have the ability to add jobs and finally put this recession thing in the rear view mirror. Sounds like i'm speaking french or something right? Nope you heard right, the economy actually added jobs last month and more than just a few. With the addition of 244,000 plus jobs, that's a sweet addition, especially if you're one of the lucky ones added to the payroll. Sure, it's not the 250,000 that Economic Oracles say is the golden job recovery number, but hey that's close enough especially considering the laughable hiring numbers lately. Now the big test is how long will the economy sustain this growth or is this a one hit wonder to get everyone revved up with warm fuzzes so you'll go out and spend up that big income tax refund check on a new iPad2 or perhaps the new BlackBerry tablet?

One thing is certain, it's definitely time to get on with the business as usual. That of course means hiring, expanding and more sales for companies. After all, the last 12 - 24 months or so, companies really have been using the economic climate or at least perception of things being doom and gloom to get a considerable productivity boost out of operations. Hey, there's nothing wrong with efficiency and productivity but at some point you stretch people thin and the productivity gains quickly turn into losses - in a New York minute as the saying goes. Anyway, let the good time roll and how about that BlackBerry tablet, it's sweet isn't it? Best Buy can keep up the supply of those unlike with the iPad2 [Apple is playing marketing tricks holding back supply intentionally]. Live a little get a toy, you deserve it and besides we don't hear much about a pick up in job growth so why not? Osama is down and jobs are up - back to business indeed.
