Latest News on Economic Front Adds to Fears of Recession


The Labor Department reported last week that the national economy lost 17,000 jobs in January, signaling the end of a 52-month streak of job growth and heightening fears of a recession.

Seven Washington area firms have made Fortune magazine's 2008 list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."

A new study reveals that technology professionals in the Washington area earn the third highest salaries in the country, trailing only Silicon Valley and Boston. Also, preparing for and going through a performance review can be stressful for managers and employees alike. Here are some tips for making the most of this career-building experience. Lastly, we share how to avoid placing your foot in your mouth by making career ending comments at work.
