Labor Gains and Labor Pains

Friday's news that the US economy added 216,000 jobs in March is more evidence the recovery is spreading. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.8 percent, the lowest in two years.

Despite the job growth, some economists and investors are concerned about inflation and how rising prices might affect the stock market and companies' desire to hire in the coming months.

Aside from the inflation conundrum, the unemployment rate is still stubbornly high. The economy has regained only a fraction of the jobs lost during the recession and labor leaders say much more needs to be done to encourage hiring.

Some business are hiring—for specific positions requiring specific skills. In fact, there are shortages of workers in some sectors and employees in demand have the ability to negotiate better salaries and benefits.

But for some people, the improving job market and rebounding economy mean it's time to say "I Quit!" A new survey says more Americans are planning to leave their current positions in search of new opportunities.
