No I haven't... but there's a couple ways to think about that. If SALES are good that might happen BEFORE they add staff.. and sales are easy to track via the quarterly reports.

I firmly believe that all companies made their numbers in '09 and '10 probably via cost cutting.. and everyone has cut to the bone - so if sales are rising - then hiring WILL follow.... but "when"? So I like your theory... because it would certainly be a sure sign that business is good and they have confidence going forward.

Do you have a source for this info?
