Corporate profits and cash ordsprog

Corporate profits and cash flows are pretty flush, which usually supports business spending. Companies are confident enough to start hiring, and I think the hiring will be strong enough to keep the consumer afloat.

Companies still aren't hiring, and until they do, it's hard to see strong consumer spending.

There's plenty of cash around to finance capital spending and hiring. It matches well with our view that capital goods orders and business spending will remain strong.

The worries created by the high energy costs are affecting not only pricing decisions but hiring as well. If there is uncertainty about consumer spending, then it has to translate into a slowing in hiring.

We saw a big rebound in corporate profits and that's a good signal for continued business investment. That generally leads to hiring, which will help keep consumption going.

If the economy is as strong as the Fed is worried about, that's going to mean better corporate earnings. The driver is rotating from front-end consumer to back-end business spending. And business spending is being driven by the need to continually improve productivity, which brings in tech spending.

We are pleased with our fourth quarter results which, we believe, again demonstrate the Firm's operating leverage and our ability to improve pricing as demonstrated by another sequential improvement in our flex gross margin and earnings per share. We believe that we can continue to migrate the Firm's flex revenue footprint to higher margin business, and are accelerating our hiring of permanent placement associates as the staffing cycle dynamics remain positive. We believe that our ability to generate cash flows from operations of $22.3 million in the fourth quarter, which are the highest quarterly cash flows from operations in the Firm's history, and our strong balance sheet will enable the Firm to capitalize on opportunities to accelerate our growth.

There must be some serious gains going on in either profits or wage rates. If it's going to profits, we should see more capital spending and hiring ahead, and if it's going to wages or lower prices, that should sustain consumption growth. Either way, it's good for the outlook.

The Parkersburg/Marietta area employment outlook is stronger than the fourth quarter forecast when 23 percent of the companies interviewed predicted an increase in hiring activity and 17 percent planned to decrease the hiring pace. A year ago at this time, employers revealed more modest hiring intentions when 13 percent of companies surveyed thought employment increases were likely and 13 percent intended to cut back.

Exports are strong and even consumption is beginning to bounce back. Companies appear to be willing to start hiring again.

Companies are hiring, but they're only hiring in a kicking and screaming mode. They explore all other options before they agree to add staff. She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile. Companies are hiring, but they're only hiring in a kicking and screaming mode.

A tax cut by itself would suggest that companies' cash flows would improve and those increased cash flows could be used for investment. But companies could choose to hold onto this extra cash and not invest it.

Better prospects for Japan's economy were at the heart of the surge in the second half. Consumer spending is increasing and the labor market underwent great change with companies expanding their hiring. It was a year for domestic-demand stocks.

We've reached the point where employers need to start hiring again, but productivity growth will stay strong, so they can meet some of their increased demand with productivity improvements. That means hiring will be slow and the unemployment rate will stay at about 6 percent for another year and a half or so.

The report is the latest sign that consumer confidence has been trending down. It adds to worries in the stock market about consumer spending and about corporate earnings. The question is whether consumers will slow expenditures and, in turn, hurt corporate profits and the economy,
