Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed this year May 28th). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911.

Job Market News

The job market getting tighter...again!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that the unemployment rate slipped to 4.4% in March from 4.5% in February, confirming the perceptions commonly expressed by staffing industry recruiters that the job market is getting tighter. Compared with a year earlier, unemployment is lower among workers of all educational levels, but the largest decline in unemployment has been among those with less than a high school diploma. Unemployment among such workers is currently at 7.0%, down from 7.9% in March of 2006, and the lowest level for this group since the mid-1970s.

“If a man is called to be a street sweep, he should sweep even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
