      Monster's Index Shows Job Weakness
      Three points in reference to your article:
      First, corporations now seek to hire through temp or contract agencies for many reasons - namely because it increases overall cost efficiency to have someone evaluated, checked out, etc., before allowing them to come on board and ultimately waste time and resources otherwise.
      Second, sites like Monster, Careerbuilder, etc., have an extreme influx of spammers targeting job-seekers adn college students soon to be entering the job pool. The majority of jobs we now see listed online at sites like Monster.com are not legitimate jobs. Pop into either site for a moment and you'll see what I mean...
      And finally third, I do agree with you and also believe there has been a decrease in administrative/office jobs, indicating a corporate revenue rut. Currently, a corporation will, instead of hiring a qualified secretary or accounting person at $13-$15 per hour (or more), an unskilled person is hired, trained, appreciative of the opportunity, and paid $7 or $8 per hour.

      My last thought: One would think if corporations are suffering from lack of desired revenue, they'd eventually put a few more bucks back into the economy for people to spend by paying employees decent wages!
