		<title>Is the Slide Skidding to a Halt?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New data suggest that the economy's long-term slide may finally be showing signs of coming to a halt. Specifically, the pace of layoffs tapered considerably in September. The latest report from Challenger, Gray &#038; Christmas, Inc. on downsizing activity reveals that planned job cuts announced by employers last month fell to 34,768, the lowest monthly total in over a decade and a 17 percent decrease from the 41,676 cuts announced in July. August's number, in fact, broke a three-month-long spate of increases in layoffs.

		<title>Finding the Sharpest Needle in a Haystack of Needles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sourcing talent these days is a monumental task.  According to the U.S. Labor Department’s latest monthly job openings and turnover survey, for every open position there are 5 potential applicants – a small improvement from the previous month’s survey.  However; surely this number doesn’t include the pool of currently employed (and underemployed) adults who are so stressed by the possible loss of their job due to economic conditions they can’t imagine tempting fate by applying for an open and potentially better position, with a new employer.
