Lincoln, Neb., is the best place in the country for job-hunters. A new survey by headhunting firm Manpower (NYSE: MAN) reports that 21% of employers there plan to add employees in the next quarter, with only 4% looking to cut. That 17% spread (which Manpower calls the "net employment outlook") is tops in the United States.
Flint, Mich., on the other hand, is at the other end of the spectrum: 26% of employers are planning to chop jobs, while only 9% are forecasting new positions.
Not to miss out on a national ad opportunity, Monster Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: MWW) will play two commercials on Super Sunday. One has a feel-good theme and another is an attempt to get users to the site.
But, as for investors, there's not much to be festive about. In Q4, Monster's revenues fell 16% to $291 million. Net income fell 37% to $28.6 million, or $0.24 per share.
True, about 44% of revenues come from overseas. Unfortunately, the economic slowdown is also making waves in Europe and Asia.
