Dave Sanford from Winter Wyman on the Jobs Report

now though we are in fact joined by Dave Sanford from winter Wyman in Waltham Massachusetts Dave how you --

Could you guys are big staffing firm ranked.

That is correct we are the largest staffing firms in the north east and we focus on professionals. Outplacement both permanent and contract basis.

All right so guy like you follows these jobs reports pretty carefully would you make of the jobs the number jobs created in -- rather I was disappointed.

Well you know it's it's one of those things where. This stuff comes and goes each month in and it's hard to try to figure out what it all needs. You know quite I think we look at we look at our own our own numbers and we look at their potential job orders that were taking in every month and really for the past twelve months we've seen RJR borders increase month over month almost every month through 2010. So you know the.

You're your recurring pretty high level guys are -- college educated master's degrees. -- like he Eddie as a tech recruiting company that would where the jobs where oh where are the jobs.

We are focused on a number of different disciplines we do accounting finance we -- software technology. We information technology we can big investment we do human resources steps of her work across the board.

So is it a lot better now like -- a lot more jobs open at your place today than their worst day yet two years ago.

Significantly more so. Well it's it's picking up really across the board you know and in all of those disciplines that we to -- each one of those groups is. As really has really picked up the the pace were. We eat we ran into a couple of months at the end of the year both November December were things flattened out forest. But I think a lot of that has to do with holidays I think it also had to do with. Companies starting Q in thinking of taking a look at -- that we we've been raping little bit of what's taken let's take it deep draft. But because news's. Come January is this question where -- but 48% over December.

Then why is the unemployment rate so high I mean it's -- need the government tells assists and 9% but if you dig into that deal last report that's the bureau of labor. Statistics folks. And you look at the use six hits like sixteen point something percent so we -- you're tell me there's jobs out there you've got more jobs today it took place people in and you had a couple years ago. But unemployment remains 9% Y.

Well I think I think you get a look at you know you look at that that big number that's in the national. And in and it's certainly in the Boston marketplace. We are in when he -- in which last whip. Com elect a special set of circumstances we have a number of drivers locally here at. They're really keep the -- of mud you know biotechnology. Software technology schools and academia and help here these are these are big drivers for us. For many years we have the financial services marketplace and still convinced that hasn't gone away even though that's slower to to come -- for us. We have lots of different. Different industries they're really helping to report so much much quicker in that other --

I talked Adam Johnson yesterday and I say -- what's the unemployment rate. Among people who have a college education they are they're not about master's program talk about a four year college degree he told me. That among those college educated the unemployment rate is less than 5% is your data. Back that up.

It's it's it's -- it's interesting to sleep good news bad news scenario it's it's right around five point 1%. Which is you know really kind of work -- with the the national rated. But the but the bad news that five point 1% highest since 1970.

facility. Even the educated is it's tougher for them and.

It your feeling it and you know fresh grads that are coming out callousness this year. They're gonna have a tough time I have a daughter who's and who's the senior going to be Bloomberg and Pennsylvania -- And she's she's gonna struggle to liberal arts college units and she's going to be well educated but. She's she's planning -- graduate school.

So where the job's going to be in five years -- should kids be -- view that a kid.

I I've got to get this gonna go to college next year or the year after should he be study in science student studying in Spanish Chinese -- humans I heard.

Leo maybe all of the above. I think that the the biggest. The biggest wins base and the biggest changed it is rock all worlds is going to be in the technology -- This is that this is space that if you were in the middle -- right now but. We're seeing technology change the -- were in the world and our wives and it's not going to be too long where your PC or your desk is going to be gone and everything can be held your hand. They have they're making technology much more. User friendly and understandable. And technology guys like myself could pick up an iPhone and do basic things that simply because they've made it so easy so technology. Wait that we access technology in the way that we care technology in the way that we communicate with each other. All of that stuff can be significantly change. The next 452. Years and you're gonna see things like you know. I wonder where newspapers will be in magazines will be.

An -- there already gone carried -- gotta run but thanks for your very much for -- we appreciate you're right your input on the unemployment picture thank you. That's Dave Sanford from winter Wyman joining us today on lunch money and you know I gotta get back to the -- story I I I'm outraged by this whole thing idea. That we pay our toll collectors more than we pay our fighting men. We men and women and do we pay our toll collectors more than we paid my kids physics teacher. I I we have some time now we're gonna be able to open up the phone lines on this issue but I wanna read your quote this is from today's Boston -- our Boston Herald. Did Joe don't know wrote the article and he interviewed -- miles. -- miles has been all over the mast pike authority and in and been complaining and bitching about it for years he says this the legislature. Will always stand in the way of real reform because so many of leadership have their people employed at the authorities he said last night so that's -- my house's perspective. On why we pair toll collectors over a 120000. Dollars a year. I'd like to know what your reaction to this is in my the only one that's really upset about this I find that hard to believe.
