WHO: Carl Camden, president and chief executive officer, Kelly Services.
DETAILS: The following commentary is offered in advance of the February unemployment rate announcement due Friday from the U.S. Department of Labor:
"We expect to once again see a modest jobs report for the month of February. Broadly positive indicators suggest that the economy is performing well, despite the challenge of stubbornly high energy prices. As a result, we will likely see a sustained job creation pace of about 200,000 new jobs each month as we head into the second quarter. "The economy also continues to reveal a steady demand for employees. The use of temporary employees across the employment spectrum is on the rise. The supply of credentialed, experienced professionals is tight and will continue to be under pressure. Financial, healthcare, and legal professionals all remain highly sought after."
