At YourService
Last week I reported that recruiting activity is on the rise, and Iforesee that 2011 will be a year that finally produces a recoveryon the hiring front. Reinforcing that view, over the past week Ihave had conversations with senior executives from a few of themajor commercial service firms and I heard a common theme;transactional volume is up, beating most budgets for 2010. Thisactivity is across the board. Leasing, investment sales,consulting, all are revving-up at a rate that portends that 2011could turn out to be a “relatively” great year in comparison to thecarnage of the past 30 months. Further reinforcing this view is thebuoyant Wall Street, and the report yesterday that the White Houseand the Republican side of the aisle agreed on extending the Bushtax cut across the board. Thank goodness, the tentative recoverydid not need an increase in taxes that could have dampened theturnaround.
