The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources.... Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.
These 10 US Employment Services Corps had their average stock prices increase by an off-the-charts 396% from March 6, 2009 to January 14, 2014.
Clearly, the stockholders and employees of these US Employment Services Corps must be extremely pleased with the impact of actions taken by both the Obama Administration and the US Fed to rescue the US economy, which was in serious trouble after the financial meltdown hit late in President Bush's second term in 2008.
But frankly, there is something wrong with the US economy when these US Employment Services Corps can get such incredible stock price appreciation, driven by their exceptional earnings growth, while at the same time, they are deriving these profits predominantly from the work done by the middle and lower classes, who are still suffering severely from the US economy, which is benefiting mostly the very wealthy.
There has to be a fairer sharing of the fruits of the US economy. The US Employment Services Corps are disproportionately receiving the economic benefits. The people they get hired on frequently a temporary basis are clearly being shortchanged economically.
And all US Big Corps should reverse their greedy policy of using so many temporary, part-time, and independent contractor workers. It is an outrage.....clearly an unpatriotic "Profits over People" strategy.
But also the US Government needs to do a better job in reviewing and correcting the practice of so many companies of classifying many of their clearly employees as independent contractor workers.
