Employment to edge up in U.S. cities in 2011: study

Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Payrolls will grow in almost all U.S. metropolitan areas this year, but the gains will be slight, according to a forecast from IHS Global Insight, Inc. released by the U.S. Conference of Mayors on Wednesday.

The report found that 88 percent of the country's metropolitan areas, 319 in total, will see employment growth this year, and in 2012 all metro areas will see some job gains.

But in 150 metro areas, employment will increase by less than 1 percent.

By the end of 2011, 156 metropolitan areas will have unemployment rates of 9 percent or higher, while 30 areas will have unemployment rates of 6 percent or below.

Mayors group meeting w/members of Congress + Obama this week -
they want more jobs - "It's all about jobs" --

Looks like another "pump up" piece -- but read the article for yourself!


There was another article on Yahoo -- something like "Does regulation work against job creation"?
Disappeared before I could pick it up -- didn't catch anything else about it --
