Another day. Another major jobs announcement yesterday in the Charlotte region!
Zenta is expanding in Charlotte. Zenta? Zenta who?
Given the worldwide presence of its consumer brands, most in the greater Charlotte region were familiar with the Electrolux name with last week’s news that the Swedish-based company is establishing its North American headquarters here.
Not so true with Zenta. But that is certain to change given NC Governor Bev Perdue’s announcement yesterday that Zenta, a global financial services outsourcing company based in New York, intends to expand its presence in Charlotte with a $2.19 million investment and 1,000+ new jobs over the next 5 years. Read the Governor’s official press release here http://www.nccommerce.com/en/PressRoom/PressReleases/12222009Zentatocreate1002jobs.htm.
As a diversified financial services outsourcing company, Zenta provides a variety of services including:

A picture tells a thousand words. Or in this case, a picture tells a great REBOUND story for contract jobs.

The bottom line…USA businesses are hiring more and more contract employees – a trend regarded as a leading indicator for perm hiring. Read the story at http://www.charlotteobserver.com/business/story/1136639.html.
On a related note, the American Staffing Association http://www.americanstaffing.net/, the voice of the U.S. staffing industry since 1966, has published the following chart that supports yesterday’s story in the Observer.
