A Month of Changes at COATS
January is usually a month of changes: wrapping up the previous year, starting the new one, taking on some resolutions. But 2011 has brought some pretty major changes, even by January standards, at COATS.

One of the January business activities that tends to draw the least enthusiasm is the checking and potential changing of the posters that employers are required to display by federal and state governments.

Unemployment Insurance Costs Could Hit Staffing Firms Extra Hard in 2011
