Chris Lawson featured on WTVN, Columbus, Ohio talks about the 2012 June job numbers and the effct on Small Businesses across the country.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. employers added only 80,000 jobs in June, a third straight month of weak hiring that shows the economy is still struggling three years after the recession ended. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.2 percent, the Labor Department said Friday. The economy added an average of just 75,000 jobs a month in the April-June quarter — one-third of the pace in the first quarter. For the first six months of 2012, employers added an average of 150,000 jobs a month. That's fewer than the 161,000 average for the first half of 2011. Weaker job creation has caused consumers to pull back on spending.

Chris Lawson Featured in the Washington Post

Chris Lawson Employment and Hiring ExpertChris Lawson, chief executive of the Eli Daniel Group, a Dallas-based staffing firm, said the jobs picture remains muddled. “We’re getting into this wait-and-see trap,” he said.

Lawson said that some employers are worried about what is going to happen in the presidential election, which will determine how the health-care law plays out.

“Small businesses are thinking about the new health-care landscape,”  Chris Lawson said. “They ask themselves, ‘Am I going to add staff or wait and see what shakes out with this election?’ On the data, there seems to be more negative news than positive. My guess is we’ll see unemployment remaining the same, or that number could go up a bit. I don’t see us all of a sudden starting to turn the corner.”
