Larger Companies are Hiring - Smaller Companies Lagging

Recent Gallup poll shows that larger U.S. companies and U.S. Federal government are adding jobs while smaller firms are shedding jobs.

"Gallup finds that larger companies are hiring more workers while the smallest businesses are shedding jobs. More than 4 in 10 employees (42%) at workplaces with at least 1,000 employees reported during the week ending Nov. 14 that their company was hiring, while 22% said their employer was letting people go. At the other extreme, 9% of workers in businesses with fewer than 10 employees said their employer was hiring, and 16% said their employer was letting people go".
