Employment and Diversity

U.S. Job Losses in January Fuel Recession Fears
The Labor Department has reported that the U.S. economy lost 17,000 jobs in January 2008, the largest loss of jobs in 4-1/2 years. However, some staffing executives feel that this doesn't mean the overall employment outlook is necessarily in trouble.

Mexico To Focus On Crimes Against Women And Human Exploitation
