Nitecap for the Weekend
With the editor nursing a hangover and unable to provide fresh material for today, we think it apropriate to revisit John Sumser's recent article about the continued shortages of quality employees.
Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report
In the week ending July 8, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 319,000, an increase of 27,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 292,000.

A very interesting dilemma in a tight labor pool, don't you think?
