(Watch the full interview in the video on the left.)

The sectors he said are still hiring strong include government, healthcare, protective services, mining and exploration.

Iannuzzi says that a proposed new stimulus package could improve the employment situation in 2009.

“There’s certainly some more room for sluggishness,” said Iannuzzi. “I think the Christmas season or the holiday season will tell us a little bit more, but I think that sometime next year, probably the middle of the year maybe the latter part of the year, I think we’ll start to see things stabilize and turn around.”
