Small Businesses are Not Hiring - Why Should They?
- wccrawford 16y agoWhy should they? For the same reasons as always. They still need workers in order to make more money. If they -don't- need workers, they shouldn't be hiring no matter what the economy or government looks like.
- hga 16y agoWell, it's implied that we're talking about hiring more workers. For an established firm, there are many options: Leave money on the table. We're all familiar with companies that have died from expanding beyond their long term prospects or a short term down turn. Get more out of your current workers; plenty are willing to work overtime for the usual compensation (obviously I'm talking about non-exempt workers). Hire part-timers and/or contract workers.
