Sunshine through the rain
Payday loans give consumers short-term good news when it comes to digging out of a financial hole. However, long term prospects in the job market have yet to rise up and begin the upward climb.
Too often these days, the news in the American job market is discouraging. More companies are laying off employees each day, it seems. These cost-cutting efforts may be necessary to keep the companies solvent, but how do workers and their families process this information? For most of us, having an income is the difference between living and throwing yourself upon the mercy of others, whether it’s family, friends or the government.
American job hunters need good news
But not everyone is letting staff go. Angela Gonzales of the Phoenix Business Journal reports that USAA Inc. is planning to add 450 people in Phoenix as it consolidates branches from Sacramento, California and Norfolk, Virginia. Doing this decreases real estate tax costs and shines a light in a dark job market.
Here’s the process the company will follow. After closing the above locations, branches in Phoenix, San Antonio, Texas, Colorado Springs, Colorado and Tampa, Florida will absorb the displaced employees. After that, USAA plans to hire the extra 450 people for Phoenix office.“We already were hiring,” said USAA spokesman Clay Allen. Cash advance for employees has begun? Wonderful.
How’s that for good news?
Gonzales indicates that the transition is “expected to be complete by the end of September.”
USAA is a financial planning, insurance and investment company. They are well-established and offer good benefits, both of which are positive signs for job hunters in search of some security. USAA’s primary clients are U.S. military and their families.
“Hopefully, we’ll get some good, qualified applicants,” said Allen.
I hope the HR department at USAA is ready. If their medical plan doesn’t cover all of the vision damage they’ll receive from reading the many thousands of resumes they’ll receive, perhaps payday loans can help bridge the gap…

This is great news. I’m glad some companies are actually doing well in the midst of the current recession. Instead of cutting more jobs, more companies should focus on cutting costs in other different areas.
This certainly is some positive news, and one would hope that the hiring trend is going to continue. The more jobs we can get filled, the quicker the recession can reverse itself. And hey, once it starts here, then it’s going to catch on in the other countries affected by it.
GREAT news, keep it positive.
