Small business employment news is conflicting, with a major payroll company indicating small businesses created fewer jobs during May than in the past while the government reporting unemployment figures were down in April.

After one of my workshops, a young lady approached me. Introducing herself, she explained she'd been fired a few days ago. The news came as a total surprise. A couple days later, she got a call from her former boss. It'd seem the company still had a few contracts in place with customers that she was overseeing. With her sudden departure, those customers got forwarded to her boss-who didn't know what to do. He offered her the job back.
