This breakneck pace can be partly attributed to strong productivity growth — which means companies have been able to make more with less — as well as the fact that some of the profits of American companies come from abroad. Economic conditions in the United States may still be sluggish, but many emerging markets like India and China are expanding rapidly.

again, why would you hire employees that you don't need? in any business???

if you can fill current demands with X number of employees...is a tax credit going to incentivize you to increase your number of employees to X+10 to fill the same demand????? or are you assuming that demand automatically increases with an increase in employees.....or is hiring just the patriotic thing to do?
