Steve Kent

A tech recovery is possible but limited to certain sectors.

Ulric Weil

But our country has too many sectors thirsty for financial input, such as the development of rural areas. We have to wait.

Huang Chunping

Energy is trading off a bit, and I think that helps the other sectors in terms of it alleviates a cost for a lot of companies. Health care is doing well on the back of Bristol-Myers news, and also Boeing (is) getting another order.

Owen Fitzpatrick

The markets are still not overbought. I suggest one is stock specific at current levels. Auto, auto ancillary and FMCG sectors are likely to do well.

Sachin Chavan

I won't be surprised to see more falls in the property and financial sectors even if presales of apartments continue to do well. Investors are worried now by prospects of rate hikes larger than those in previous months.

Castor Pang

In some of the more energy intensive industries, there would be negative change in jobs. But when you look at state levels, even states that had large sectors of the energy industries in them, they had overall positive change in jobs.

We can expect volatility in the short and intermediate sectors to remain at lofty levels.

Atsushi Mizuno

B.C. is a very diversified economy, with strength in the high-tech industries, expanding natural gas and base metal sectors and booming non-residential construction. However, slowing exports in the province's key forest products sector will likely hold back gains in employment and vehicle sales in 2006.

Carlos Gomes

The market's interest in millennium-related stocks is also supporting such shares . Other sectors aren't looking that exciting at the moment.

Toshihiko Matsuno

There's a heavy flow to some telecom shares that are seen as cheap compared with other sectors.

Liu Zhi

If the economy slows, sectors that do the best are health care, energy and consumer staples.

Bruce Bittles

There may be somebody else taking the baton now, which is not unusual in a recovery. Housing is typically the leader out of the desert to the promised land; but, just like Moses didn't make it to the promised land, as rates rise, housing doesn't quite make it, either. Other sectors do.

Paul Kasriel

It's not as if everyone is shifting away from IT, but there are some other sectors like alternative energy, business services, and outsourcing that have drawn a little bit of interest away from IT.

Josh Grove

Probably somewhat ahead of other sectors in recognizing the Year 2000 problem.

Roger Ferguson

Each year, we thrive on the energy brought to the Association through the leadership of our Board of Directors. This year, we are happy to welcome new directors from a variety of sectors which represent the diversity and growth potential of the hydrogen industry.

Jeff Serfass

It's considered creative and entrepreneurial to mix the sectors. I'm arguing it's not a good thing.

Ron Moe

Foreign investors have more lucrative investment sectors to put their money into, but the futures market is clearly not a sound option for them now as it is not profitable industry for the time being.

Chen Xiaodi

While other sectors are growing, sugar continues to decline and that is why ... we have to take the decisions that we are taking.

Denzil Douglas

Main Street

This is the first time that all of these sectors had positive orders in at least three months and is the first sign that a broad-based turnaround in the manufacturing sector may be beginning to form.

Jerry Jasinowski

We do see a lot of earnings acceleration in Japan in a couple of sectors in particular. We've got good exposure to Japanese retailers, good exposure to Japanese real estate companies.

Lynette Schroeder

We went into the new year with pretty good momentum and those job gains are spread across nine of the 11 major industry sectors. There's better distribution of job growth now than there was last year at this time.

Howard Roth

We are excited to have Ron join our team as we continue to build out our efforts in these sectors. Ron will be an asset to the firm as we continue to expand our capabilities in the future.

Frank Gannon

[The rise in energy costs caused by Katrina is] going to start taking money out of people's pockets that they would have spent on something else, ... Look for the (impact) in the earnings of discount retailers, restaurants, and travel sectors - start to look for GDP to be impacted.

Hans Olsen

This theme is continuing and not just in the mining stocks, but in any related sectors. This is a macroeconomic trend.

Jim Mccafferty

One thing the Kremlin has addressed is the issue of state control. Not that it's gone away, but the government is producing a list of sectors where foreign ownership will be limited.

Peter Westin

A number of sectors will need to transition before we can be confident of an acceptable level of economic activity.

Anthony Santomero

The slightly less negative recent news from the housing and retail sectors contrasts with increasing pressures on manufacturers from the high cost of fuel and materials.

Ian Mccafferty

But the development that government will support is that which is transparent and adheres to the laid down procedures and not one which inconveniences other sectors of the nation or raises serious suspicions.

Vernon Mwaanga

There are no big transactions in sight, ... We are established in all the major sectors which we consider to be strategic.

Peter Brabeck

The award recognizes recipients in the private and public sectors, and part of the criteria is that their work also benefits the people to the Virgin Islands.

Joe Aubain

If one of these sectors experiences trouble because of the bursting of the real estate bubble or another catastrophic event that keeps people from traveling, then the whole economy is going to suffer.

Peter Straw

We remain positive on equities but it might be time to take money off the table in the most straightforward (cyclical) sectors.

Patrik Schowitz

It's interesting to see the convergence of all these sectors.

Deborah Tate

Durable goods will continue to lead the manufacturing expansion in 2006. The United States economy is bumping up against capacity constraints in many sectors and businesses, particularly non-manufacturing businesses, are stepping up investment spending.

Daniel Meckstroth

These have been fast-growing sectors, and are expected to continue to be. They also pay average- to above-average salaries. But certainly, we will always have underemployed folks in a rapidly changing economy. I just don't know how many.

Michael Walden

One thing we're seeing in particular today is the continued rotation out of energy stocks. Sectors that have been out of favor, mainly technology and the financials, are now providing some leadership, the banks, in particular.

Kevin Kruszenski

It's all in the affordable sectors. We don't see any major gains taking place in that area because the barriers to entry are so great throughout the state.

Alan Nevin

Given how remarkably strong some sectors were last month seasonally adjusted, IT was a little bit disappointing.

Robert Olivier

Dividend tax relief and low interest rates tend to buoy some of the stocks, but the sector's fundamentals continue to deteriorate.

Patrick Brogan

We have often failed to deploy sufficient resources to actually make a real difference to the performance of, and activities within, industrial sectors.

Rob Davies

The moderation is certainly very slow in arriving, even allowing for the usual lag in data, and these sectors' problems are clearly being mitigated by a pick-up in business investment and commodity exports.

Michael Every

[HOT SECTORS. As a stock-picker, he likes Japanese banks, brokerages, and insurance companies.] Financials are a good way for investors to participate in a restructured and reflated Japan, ... There's a lot of potential for growth here. Japanese consumers are one of the most underserved communities of wealthy people on the planet.

Mark Headley

Looks like the stock market has gotten off on positive footing after yesterday's broad-based decline. We're seeing gains in eight of 10 S&P sectors. The data that came out so far was pretty much in line with expectations. Looking ahead, investors will be keeping an eye on auto sales.

Michael Sheldon

These are the sectors that attract and retain talented young people and build regional wealth.

Harold Miller

This was not a year for macro-sector bets -- whoever bet on sectors, or indexes other than energy, got extremely frustrated. This was the year of individual stocks.

James Paulsen

The public and private sectors are increasingly pursuing complementary strategies to advance system performance. Janet is the exact right person to help accelerate and focus this positive and critically important direction.

Carolyn Clancy

This is truly a collaborative project, bringing in advisors from the nonprofit, the for-profit, the academic and the government sectors. We all have an interest in improving how we meet the needs of nonprofits.

Joe Baker

It is our democratic obligation to ensure that water management and decentralization go hand-in-hand. Public authorities should always have the power to set rates and determine investments, as it is only these strong and accountable local authorities that can work with companies from both the public and private sectors in an efficient and competent manner.

Loic Fauchon

This is impressive, but the caveat is that this is the day after a holiday and not many people are in, ... You also have certain key sectors, like chips and the insurers, not participating. I think you need to see a few more days of this to determine whether today is a head fake or not.

Peter Green

Two of the sectors we think will drive the market higher are the financial stocks, in particular investment banks and brokers, and certain parts of technology.

Jim Gribbell

I think the key word is uncertainty. Until we find some direction you look for good companies or sectors that are growing at a reasonable price.

Sarat Sethi

This had a tremendous impact on the aviation and tourism related sectors, bearing in mind that Europe produces 40 percent of all tourists to Sri Lanka.

Barry Brown

A hard drive saves files in sectors. But large files may be saved in various spots on the disk. This means the hard drive must search for each element in order to recombine them into a complete file. This may slow down the computer. The Disk Defragmenter finds the individual parts and puts them in a group, which speeds up the computer.

Gordon Mills

RFID is still in its early stages. However, over 17.5% of companies in manufacturing, retail/wholesale, and logistics are piloting/implementing RFID projects and more are to come, not only in these sectors, but also in several other industries.

Giuliana Folco

In order simply to stay ahead, most companies, in most sectors, are probably involved in some technological advance - perhaps product development or process improvements through the introduction of a new technology.

David W. Cobb

The core number (which excludes the volatile food and energy sectors) is expected to (gain) 0.2 percent, which would be good and I think that would give the market a further sign of relief and could give the bond market a boost.

Tom Benfer

The new company will be a formidable group and able to follow a more expansive strategy. Competition is done with economies of scale. It will be able to diversify into sectors such as ports and airports.

Patrizio Pazzaglia

This is not the greatest environment for equities. Telecoms are not a very visible sector, and when investors look to avoid volatility they will look outside such sectors.

Plum Shipton

Defensive and interest-rate sensitive sectors did well because Canadian rates were very low - up until recently we saw the 10-year Canada yield get down to 3.73 per cent - very constructive to utilities and the dividend payers and the defensives.

John Johnston

The continued improvement in services-sector activity is particularly impressive given the head winds restraining the consumer-related sectors.

Michael Blythe

We've got to get through that and it's probably several months before we get a turnaround in any sectors.

Phil Dow

With a majority of our employment sectors showing increases in the number of jobs, the figures for March indicate that Wisconsin's labor market remains healthy and strong and moving in the right direction.

Roberta Gassman

There's a good case to be made that there's a need for a cash component for the oil industry as well as a cash component for other sectors. We would like to see a cash component across the board.

James Cunningham

[Early last year, banks were out of favor and then rebounded when the biotech and technology sectors crashed in first quarter 2000.] Fads end eventually and value suddenly mattered again, ... The bank group outperformed the broad market in third, fourth and first quarter of this year.

Dave Berry

2005 opens with the promise of a number of substantial direct private investments that can swiftly transform the economy and set all sectors on a pronounced upward curve.

Baldwin Spencer

We need to step back from the day-to-day rhetoric of the negotiations. We're on a slippery slope if we put protection of sectors ahead of an outcome that expands trade.

Dennis Richardson

Both the public and private sectors are strewn with examples of transitional arrangements, separation agreements, employee consulting agreements, etc..

Paul Schwartz

This will give us the competitive edge in servicing the global demand from both these sectors and contribute positively to our bottom-line.

Tong Keng Yoon

We're coming off such a low base, higher rates will be more of a confirmation of an economic recovery than a dampening on corporate profits, ... We've been long on a lot of sectors tied to economic recovery and growth, and we're not going to change that stance, even after the first rate increase.

Joe Kalinowski

Much of the Midwest is at the bottom of the rankings because the Midwest is heavy in manufacturing, and that sector simply hasn't done well over the years. Manufacturing is seeing some growth but isn't creating jobs like other sectors.

Skip Rimer

Janet Corrigan is the ideal person to lead the newly reconstituted NQF. She has extensive experience working with diverse leaders across the public and private sectors, and a track record in developing widespread consensus around strategies to move the quality agenda forward.

William Roper

The roads, the buildings, the ports, the residential and commercial (sectors)... There is a huge opportunity in India available for Taiwanese companies.

Vimal Shah

Overall it is satisfactory but we hope that there will be further improvement between now and 2009. It is really good news that three countries are lifting the restrictions and almost all the other countries have lifted some restrictions either in some sectors or they are going to be gradually lifting their restrictions up until 2009.

Katharina Von Schnurbein

This is of concern because it impedes efficient preparations by market participants and may exacerbate negative perceptions in the marketplace, ... Financial institutions should share information in order to strengthen confidence that the Year 2000 challenges are being met in all financial sectors worldwide.

Roger Ferguson

I think monetary policy coming out of the 2001 recession did what it was intended to do, which was cushion the interest-sensitive sectors of the economy, including housing.

Jack Guynn

We look at the API as another tool in our assessment bag. We use it as a means to look at where we can improve. Now we have got an idea there are a couple of sectors in our student population that may need more support.

Danielle Clark

We've had some job growth, but it's in lower-paying sectors.

Charles Warren

All the different sectors are showing really terrific growth.

Patrick Walravens

Oil-sensitive sectors continue to weaken, led down by retailing, wholesaling and transport.

Alan Oster

We've been on a tear lately. The whole sector's been on fire.

John Hathaway

You live and die by those stocks because you're not diversified. They need to look at different sectors.

Doug Flynn

The acquisition has effectively expanded Red Hat's market opportunity in one of the fastest growing sectors of software.

Jason Maynard

What we learn will strengthen our English business. We're the only group with exposure to all three sectors in Scotland -- the free trade, as well as managed and tenanted pubs.

Rooney Anand

It's indicative of this whole new generation of ethnic media that you find in almost all sectors, all ethnic groups. It's really part of what the community imagines its future to be.

Sandy Close

But I've only seen maybe one or two companies move sectors of their businesses (out of the Madison area) to find lower pay rates.

Luke Whitburn

We are going to continue with our basic research, but we want to also focus on eight specific industrial sectors to see how they work and how we can make what we do better.

Paul Schulte

It's difficult to say if it's cyclical or defensive sectors driving the market. Whatever sector is seeing some M&A speculation or activity is the one that's going well at the moment.

Lars Kreckel

We continue to see strong and sustainable recovery across many key sectors of the economy.

Fred Smith

Traffic exceeded 2004 levels over the same month in all sectors except for Latin America, where it remained flat.

Montie Brewer

We need to get off the couch. When we've done this branding, I think it will help us actively go after the jobs in those sectors.

Derrick Daniels

These sectors are not pulling their weight. Is the change permanent? I can't say.

Frederick Breimyer

Extending emissions trading to the aviation sector will limit these emissions and ensure that aviation, like all other sectors, contribute to reducing the harmful greenhouse gases. Through emission trading, airlines will be able to do so at the least possible costs.

Stavros Dimas

Tibet has achieved marked progress in various social sectors over the past 40 years.

Jia Qinglin

Commodities have been one of the very strong sectors and maybe they are overestimated by now. What we've seen in terms of gains is not normal.

Laurent Vallee

There's a lot more focus on the individual sectors from the investors' standpoint. From a management standpoint, there's a change in priorities. If they're focusing on restructuring, they're not focusing on the core business.

John Boland

We are well positioned to grow this business by moving into new sectors and into new countries.

Waco Ceo Royden Vice

We primarily look at the horoscopes of countries, stock markets, sectors and stocks. We're top-down players.

Henry Weingarten

We are seeing heavy leadership turnover in the computer industry as well as the financial and health care sectors, all of which are historically volatile in terms of CEO turnover.

Rick Cobb

Business activity in the services and construction sectors has been accelerating in recent months and is now growing quite quickly, providing momentum for the economy coming into 2005.

Stephen Wood

The correction has been triggered by large-scale selling by foreign institutional investors in sectors like metal and fast moving consumer goods. The weakness in the global market has also added to the pressure.

Deepak Shah

The conference will offer a forum for the Sudanese private and public sectors to showcase opportunities in the oil, gas, power, infrastructure and agriculture sub-sectors.

Malei Nthiwa

From due diligence, you can know intuitively what sectors work best.

Dan Mcdade

The electronics sector and the digital product-related sectors are still sluggish but this has not affected other sectors much. That helped sustain the momentum for the Japanese economy as a whole.

Tomomichi Akuta

Certainly, having a dividend exposes you to certain sectors of the investment market that without it you are not exposed to.

Lynn Marmer

We are actively engaged in responding to these challenges. The expansion of our business pursuits into other sectors is driven by the very issues that created these challenges.

Lori Jones

Investment mania has been evident in the ferroalloy, coke, calcium carbide, automobile and copper smelting sectors.

Liu Zhi

We've seen growth and a real doubling of funding in all sectors. The proportions are really unchanged over the decade, with roughly 60 percent coming from industry and the remainder coming from government and foundations.

Hamilton Moses

It seems that investors' views are being influenced by a couple of high-profile insolvencies, when these sub-sectors are producing very strong returns.

Kevin Ellis

Although the buoyant growth and demand conditions in the wider economy bode well for prospects in the sector, sustained currency strength has some dampening effect on the manufacturing sector's growth trajectory.

André Roux

M&A in the UK is not just focussed on a couple of sectors, it is across the board -- that tells you valuations are on the low side.

Robert Parkes

The telecoms and construction sectors are likely to be up because that's where the money is going after the government said it wants to up its investment in these sectors.

Greg Potter

It's a big relief to see the economy back on track after weaker figures in December. The key sectors show growth which should be sustained going forward.

Bidisha Ganguly

I think the market's lack of energy came from those two sectors (telecoms and media), and also what didn't help was the tone of the overall region, with Brazil being down so sharply today.

David Chon

We provide insurance for all sectors of the motor trade. However, to remain competitive, it is important that we combat fraud at all levels. I see Advances playing a crucial role in achieving this and I am encouraged by the results Advances is delivering for its existing customers.

John Harvey

Looking ahead, we see the Bluetooth market continuing to expand. The 'attach rate' in mobile phones is increasing both as the demand for hands free calling grows and as mobile phones increasingly move into services such as music streaming and gaming. Bluetooth is also being adopted in the wider electronic goods markets and in new application sectors such as automotive and consumer.

John Hodgson

Cyclical sectors are at high valuations, justifying a more defensive stance.

Alexander Young

This new fund addresses the immediate requirement for the science, pharmaceutical, and government sectors to close significant gaps in global public health preparedness.

Brook Byers

I will urge India if our apparel quota could be increased. I will also seek Indian investment in our local textile, clothing and knit sectors.

Fazlul Haque

Going forward, I'm a lot more comfortable with things like telecom operators, because I think the forecasts in that area have come down significantly, whereas in other areas like some of the cyclical sectors, their forecasts probably need to be cut.

Alia Baig

Share prices for some sectors including banks are still at a high level. Any bad news may trigger profit- taking.

Nobuyoshi Tsumori

You can see now where our capacity is beginning to be eaten-up. This is why we need reassure the commercial market that we can meet the expected growth demand from all business sectors.

Tony Bauckham

Some of the sectors that have gone so far like miners and the oil stocks are due to come back a little, and it doesn't take much in those big sectors to take the index down.

Roger Cursley

In economies with less regulation, companies can use information communications technology that link sectors to one another in ways that create joint productivity.

Gail Fosler

The yields in the short and midterm sectors have risen to levels that start to price in a possible end to zero-interest rates, as well as the end of the quantitative easing policy.

Tetsuya Miura

We've had some pretty good gains in a lot of sectors lately that need to be adjusted. The encouraging thing is we're not seeing a lot of volume, so there aren't a lot of sellers out there.

Angel Mata

Car shares are undervalued at the moment, though the gains cannot disguise the sector's problems.

Markus Steinbeis

If the U.K. government does not curb aviation growth, all other sectors of the economy will eventually be forced to become carbon neutral. It will undermine the competitiveness of U.K. industry.

Kevin Anderson

This could easily overstate the impact of inflation in some sectors.

Rae Rosen

While information technology products will continue to be the largest market sectors for semiconductors, consumer products will be the major growth-drivers in the years ahead.

George Scalise

Machine-to-machine communications is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the industry, and Wavecom's products are recognised for their high quality and technology leadership. Wavecom also complements a number of our existing product ranges, including microsystems, semiconductors and RF products.

Steve Carr

[The president] has acted irresponsibly by concentrating on beating back political demonstrations, while leaving dangerously weak areas in key sectors like the airport.

Ranil Wickremesinghe

I'd say we're doing very well, all things considered, ... Clearly, there is more money available out there, when even sectors that are fairly stretched, like tech and banks, are doing well today.

Joseph Battipaglia

A positive outlook on the economy is boosting cyclical stocks today, and sectors like real estate are being bought.

Kazunori Jinnai

While the overall numbers in January did not show a sizable increase, job gains in most sectors overshadowed a noticeable decline in government employment and we are now in the fifth consecutive month of job growth.

John Tirinzonie

I am happy fiscal reforms are on track. There is an impetus on social infrastructure and attention paid to key sectors like automobiles, textiles and consumer goods.

Bidisha Ganguly

We will collect windfall-profit taxes in some monopolized sectors within two years.

Lou Jiwei

Arts and culture are an industry, and I think that it serves a dual purpose — while we look at quality of life, it's also an economic driver. Hopefully at the end, both private and public sectors will see that investment in the creative infrastructure isn't just something that feels good but also has a direct return to their cities and businesses.

Daniel Hintz

There is a slowdown in many sectors, including investments, and the GDP figure could have been worse.

Vladimir Pantyushin

Investors think hurricanes had a very limited impact on U.S. corporate sectors and U.S. yields continue to look very healthy. That's going to keep supporting the dollar.

Satoru Ogasawara

We started the year on a low note and we are ending the year on a high because all sectors bounced back.

Chua Hak Bin

Thanks to the outstanding efforts of both the public and private sectors in our community, Miami-Dade County and its residents continue to enjoy historic lows in unemployment. By maintaining a record-setting unemployment rate, it is evident that Miami-Dade's economy continues its diversification and remains strong.

Frank R. Nero

The company is bleeding into so many new sectors and businesses that there are any number of government policies the company should be involved in.

Blair Levin

The strike has begun. I believe it can have an effect (on production) because we have workers across sectors.

Danilo Jorquera

Reflecting solid consumer spending, the real estate and retail sectors are likely to lead the improvement in the overall non-manufacturing sector.

Tatsushi Shikano

Outsourcing has always generated significant political debate, which in some cases has stalled this sector's growth at the state and local level. As the economy continues a strong recovery, we expect outsourcing opportunities to increase on the state and local level.

James Krouse

Consumers are stepping aside, and manufacturing and other business sectors are stepping in. The U.S. business sector is looking very healthy.

Jim Paulsen

We're tending to steer towards those sectors that are going to benefit from an economic recovery.

James Stack

The technology stocks, especially the semiconductor sector, are starting to come back into favor. This looks like a change in leadership from other areas like the energy sector. People are looking to put money back into the market, especially into sectors that have been laggards.

William Lefkowitz

Panelists at the meeting will be discussing among other issues which population sectors need to be engaged to try to bridge differences and combat extremism particularly in youth and immigrant populations.

Stephane Dujarric

Even in sectors and functions with a high percentage of female managers, there is a distinct gap in remuneration.

Mary Chapman

As a result profitability is being slashed tremendously amongst New Zealand businesses and especially of course those in the exporting and importing competing sectors.

Tony Alexander

We find that all the time, ... High growth, high-tech issues are at a point now when they're horrendously highly valued, which means he's excluding buying sectors that are fairly or undervalued.

Frank Armstrong

There continue to be immense challenges facing the airline industry today and these require a concerted collaborative effort with specialist partners in the public and private sectors.

James Hogan

More flexibility could help create employment in several sectors, especially for small companies for which it is difficult to grow.

Laure Maillard

We realize that it is a difficult and sensitive issue. The decision of the board will be an unpopular one in some sectors of the community, but we believe halting the Spears' participation in the Super 14 for now is the right thing to do. Posterity will judge us harshly if we consider quick fixes.

Mpumelelo Tshume

Pharmaceuticals and electronics will continue to drive growth. The services and construction sectors will also contribute.

Leslie Tang

The UK retail scene has been appalling so we are very pleased with the performance. The kids business hasn't been as badly affected as some other sectors, but we've also been driven by strong releases.

Mike Heap

It's taking into consideration the Rio bid for North, and what benefits lie for other stocks in those related sectors, that's why we're seeing an improvement in BHP and other resource based stocks.

Jamie Spiteri

These recommendations are another part of the charitable sector?s commitment to come together and ensure that its organizations meet the highest possible ethical standards. The Panel will continue to work with the sector and government officials to encourage implementation of its comprehensive proposals.

Diana Aviv

In spite of this increase, manufacturing confidence remains the lowest of the five sectors surveyed, indicating that it is still the sector most affected by the strong rand.

Rudolf Gouws

The industry is crucial. It is one of the main blue-collar sectors that we need to depend on.

John Husing

The fact that the unemployment rate has reached a historic low is a tribute to both the public and private sectors of our community for providing employment opportunities for all of our residents. The low unemployment rate is also evidence of the continued diversification of Miami-Dade's economy.

Frank R. Nero

The big-picture fundamentals for commodities stocks is still in place. Nothing has actually changed. The sell-off in some sectors was not warranted.

Hans Kunnen

See No Evil. We had support in the intelligence sectors.

Stephen Gaghan

We also expect more spending on search advertising. On top of these broader economic sectors, we expect the Internet companies, in particular e-commerce players, will increase their spending noticeably. These trends together will bring more maturity to the online advertising sector in China.

Safa Rashtchy

Online job availability in the UK rose sharply in February, after the slump in January 2006. This is very positive for UK employment overall as demand for workers has clearly increased across the entire range of occupational categories and sectors tracked by the Monster Employment Index UK.

Alan Townsend

These changes will threaten established practices and entrenched interests in the media and advertising sectors, but consumers will benefit and ultimately, companies that can ride this wave will benefit as well. No one really knows what the media landscape will look like ten years out.

David Schatsky

The problem of obesity affects families, schools, employers and entire communities and must be addressed through partnerships that combine the strengths of the public, private and non-profit sectors.

Charles Stokes

The unemployment rate is low, the labor force is growing, and the aerospace and defense sectors have been hiring at a pretty good pace.

Michael Slotkin

These disasters continue to happen because this is a decaying state. The corrupt government officials control all sectors and are responsible for all disasters we face. But the government would not hold itself accountable.

Hesham Kassem

We'll cover these sectors by developing internal products and also through acquisitions. We've done 52 acquisitions as a company, and it's a traditional way of moving our business ahead.

Mike Volpi

That's the end of a correction, and people are flying back to the energy and mining sectors.

Luc Girard

The retail outlook in the country is getting better -- many investors still prefer domestic plays, such as the retail sectors, for their portfolios.

Park Jin

I think what we are seeing in retailing are certain sectors doing better than others. In general, the department stores have not been performing well.

Dorothy Lakner

We're cautious, considering how well real estate funds have performed since the beginning of 2000.
