Most companies would take a tax cut over a tax credit. We start our assistants off at $45K and our tech guy makes $58K.
I think 33 billion is the number for this or so? I wonder if I hire 2 employees at $10/hour, I can get $10k.
It should be noted that we've become leaner by laying off our support staffs. We've learned to live with less. I fear many other companies are doing the same thing. It doesn't bode well for the less educated who still want to earn a decent living.
Overhiring is the downfall of many companies IMO. You end up with ineffieincies through many levels. A lot of the processes you can outsource for cheaper.
Careful max you are starting to sound like a commie pinko liberal corrupt Union Organizer. ! I can post these things because I belong to the IBEW, but you conservatives must be careful.
I was responding to Maxiep saying he was an economist, saying i've taken classes and I have a ton of respect for Economists because it is hell hard. Sorry, I wasn't clear.
I think it is silly to act like this isn't good news. Sure, you can find fallacies to make people think that it isn't as good as it looks (and it isn't), but that doesn't take away from the fact that the Economy grew at that pace in Q4, better than the alternative, no?
Odd how Yahoo!'s story has changed: 4th quarter's fast economic pace likely to wane 4th quarter's fast economic pace likely to fade as joblessness holds back consumer spending
