Topic: U.S. healthcare system pinched by nursing shortage: experts. The shortage has drawn the attention of President Barack Obama. During a White House meeting on Thursday to promote his promised healthcare system overhaul, Obama expressed alarm over the notion that the United States might have to import trained foreign nurses because so many U.S. nursing jobs are unfilled. Democratic U.S. Representative Lois Capps, a former school nurse, said meaningful healthcare overhaul cannot occur without fixing the nursing shortage. "Nurses deliver healthcare," Capps said in a telephone interview.

Topic: QUARTERLY INDUSTRY UPDATE: Personnel Staffing Agencies: rsonnel staffing services, fell 9.2 percent in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. US personal income, a measure of overall employment trends, rose 1.9 percent in January 2009 compared to the same month in 2008. QUARTERLY INDUSTRY UPDATE ---------------------------------------------------- Weak Labor Market Decreases Staffing Demand - Weakening US labor market conditions indicate a reduced demand for personnel staffing agencies. Weak consumer spending, the construction and real estate slowdown, and low lending activity have affected a wide range of industries; companies across the US are laying off workers, enacting hiring and pay freezes, and reducing compensation. Recession-induced pressures may keep demand for temporary workers low, according to the Federal Reserve Beige Book. Recruitment Sites Gain Interview Technology - New online live interview technology could worsen placement agencies' ability to compete with online recruitment sites. While many online personnel sites already offer some functions provided by traditional placement agencies, the live interview on InovaHire.com makes screening candidates online even easier. InovaHire.com's job board and live interview technology can be used by both job seekers and employers. Employers See Chance to Grab Top Performers - About three-quarters of recruiters surveyed say that rising unemployment has created an opportunity to find star workers, according to a JobFox poll. Even companies that are cutting jobs or implementing hiring freezes will make room for the right candidates, according to recruiters, creating an opportunity for placement agencies.
