Calculated Risk: Labor Mobility: Starting to Increase
This blog post on CalculatedRisk references an article from the Financial Times. I am struck by the differences in word choices. FT uses “picks up sharply” while CalculatedRisk states “starting to increase”. In conversations with my recruiter friends I’ve become aware of slightly higher activity in job openings. Some of these openings included paid relocation. A few years ago employers stopped offering paid relocation. These changes are not insignificant. But the job market remains weak.
Starting to increase is a better choice of words.

There is a link at the bottom of that article to the download page at MetLife.
