December’s employment numbers blew analysts expectations out of the water. Perhaps the news rustled the moat around the corporate kingdom’s C-Suite. (Ok, maybe just a ripple) We’re certainly not out of the waters of a struggling economy. But with unemployment falling for the fourth month in a row, talent retention concerns might make more of an appearance.
Most employees are glad to have a job these days. There’s this unwritten mandate that has reigned since the recession; corporate is king, companies are doing more with less and underlings just have to deal with it and eat porridge. But if the C-Suite ignores improving economic data, might they be dethroned in a workers rebellion?

this might be true if you believed the numbers coming out of the government. when work is at least consistent then maybe wages will change.
8:17 I agree. These numbers are bogus. We are nowhere near 6% in Maryland. I see the recycling centers - like Sussex Scrap Metal - with lines longer than ever before. The people working there say they can't remember ever having the volume of people bringing scrap metal to their business for cash. This is significant because people have been reduced to scavenging for scrap metal for money. People stealing scrap metal, brass, and copper has increased so much over the past several years that the scrap metal dealers have to actually fill out precious metals reports - the same as pawn shops - and foward them to the police. No no no...this economy is tanking quickly and the government is manipulating the figures to make it appear that it is getting better for political purposes.
As long as the 1% are in control of the economy, illegals overrun our borders, H-1B visas, outsourcing & cheap/dangerous Chinese goods prevail - the American Worker will be at a strategic disadvantage -
