I am pleased to start 2006 with such great energy, and this is by-and-large driven by you, our valued employees. Without quality people to place on assignment, we would not have the customer satisfaction levels we do, and our clients would not keep coming to us for solutions to their staffing needs.

Keeping our employees and clients in mind, Todays recently implemented two technology solutions that are providing us new tools to better serve you! Our new Web site, www.todays.com, has more information, and is easier to navigate. You can even go online to update your resume/profile or search available jobs. Also, more up-to-date and relevant career tips have been added for your reference. Our new fully-integrated staffing software solution, StaffSuite, launched in January, helps us to better find that perfect job opportunity for you!

This year, we look forward to providing you with a variety of job opportunities, a wide and unique array of benefits, and competitive pay rates. Keep up the fantastic work. It’s because of you that we continue to succeed.

Sincerely,


Dan Neuburger

Index Surges on Managers’ Hiring Forecast
(Data collected during February 2006)
The Hudson Employment Index^SM climbed to 108.2 in February, up 5.6 points from January’s 102.6 reading. The rise is attributed to a significant increase in the percentage of workers and managers who expect their employers to hire, as well as improved expectations regarding personal finances.  The latest Index is among the strongest readings on record, and considerably higher than the 102 recorded in February 2005.

• Workforce Foresees Hiring Bump
Workers overall were more likely to anticipate hiring in February than at the very start of the year.  One-third (33 percent) of the workforce indicated their firms had plans to hire, the most optimistic they have been in this respect since October 2004.  This figure had held steady near 30 percent for the last four months.  Notably, 45 percent of managers in the private sector projected an increase in head-count, up from 38 percent in January.  There was also a four-point jump to 34 percent in the number of all managers forecasting hiring within their organization. 

• Confidence in Personal Finances Supports Worker Optimism
Worker sentiment regarding their financial situations also improved in February.  The number who rated their finances favorably (good or excellent) was at its highest level on record at 46 percent.  At the same time, there was a one-point increase among employees who said their finances were improving to 43 percent, a level that has not been topped since last February.

The Hudson Employment IndexSM measures the U.S. workforce's overall confidence in the employment market. It tracks aggregate trends affecting employment such as hiring intentions, financial security and job satisfaction.
