I saw this headline on one of the premier newspaper in my area
"Valley execs more likely to add jobs than reduce"
I was quite pleased to see that, before I clicked on the article, went through 2 pages, until I reached, what someone calls *hard data*.
So the hard-data is "The survey also found 38 percent of Santa Clara County executives said they expect to increase their number of employees vs. 13 percent who plan decreases and 47 percent who anticipate no workforce changes."
So 13 + 47 = 60% of the companies are not going to hire (or even layofff people), and 2% have absolutely no idea!!! Does this translate to the headline "Valley execs are more likely to add jobs than reduce"? Perhaps yes ... nevertheless misleading.
