Quote from Scataphagos:
Correctamundo. If a company's business starts picking up, they will either/both (1) pay overtime, or (2) put temps on the payroll. The business won't do fresh, new hires until their activity increases enough to make doing so more cost effective than both overtime and temps. Demand needs to increase a significant amount before that.
The only problem is the demand won't increase. No, actually it can't increase. By the way what demand are you talking about?
