Well, as I have mentioned in my previos blogs, there are many positive things happening out there. Admittedly they are more difficult to find than the bad news. But they are out there. A few examples;

NPE - this is a plastics trade show held every 3 years at the McCormick Place in Chicago. Although attendance was down compared to 2006, we found many companies with exciting new products and growth happening. It was a great opportunity for networking and seeing (in person) the industry where we spend a big chunk of our time, meet some good clients as well as shake hands with future clients.

JOBS!!! - Some of the west MI papers actually ran a positive piece on the companies who will be adding jobs to our region (over 4,000 jobs).

New search projects - Lately we have picking up good searches around the country, especially in plastics and packaging.

Stay at it, the opportunities are out there!
