Agenda for May 6 and --What is "Churn?"

Have you ever heard of churn? It's a term that refers what to happens when corporations lay off workers while they also hire for other positions.

This info comes from Dave O'Farrell, who writes an email newsletter for Jobseekers of Peachtree City, GA. Dave believes that there are jobs out there, despite the weak economy. He quotes the print edition of Fortune's 13 April 2009 edition: "'According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, while 2.5 million people were laid off in January, 4.4 million new workers were hired...' An abridged version of the article can be found here."

Dave adds that companies with less than 500 employees have been growing over the last few years, and urges job seekers to check for opportunities at smaller companies.

We hope to see you at tomorrow's meeting!

Your GEN team at FPC
