January isn’t just about getting to work on your New Year’s resolutions; it’s also a great time to spend money.

Hire People

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest jobs report, it’s a terrible time to be unemployed. Last month, only 74,000 jobs were created, less than a third of what we need to make a serious dent in unemployment. Even worse, only two out of three working-age people in the U.S. are actually working. That’s the lowest percentage since the mid-1970s. This situation creates a huge supply of unemployed people. Combine this with the fact that a high percentage of these unemployed have been that way for months or years and the opportunity to find talent at an affordable price increases.
