           The post-holiday season tends to be a slow time for
           people across the country. Shopping stalls, home-
           improvement projects freeze up, and everyone from
           UPS to the post office experiences a lag in activity.

           However, the same cannot be said for people who
           work in staffing firms. People are always looking for
           employment (especially in this economy with a
           6.7 percent unemployment rate), but the search for
           work particularly picks up after the New Year.
