Oct. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Pasadena, CA, October 11, 2011 - According to the Labor Department report, recruitment became a bit strong in September after employers added nearly 103,000 jobs over the month.

The private sector added 137,000 jobs in September, up from August but below July's revised total. Nearly 34,000 Government jobs (http://www.hound.com/gjbrowsejobs.php?cat=Government) were lost.
