Wrapping up the end of a recession-free decade

The U.S. labor market in 2019 can be described as historically record-breaking.  It surpassed Economists' predictions, reflected a surge of strength, and has been the greatest job market since the late 1990s. For an entire decade, the first time in history, there was no report of an economic recession. The unemployment rate in December 2019 dipped to a half-century low (3.5%), the lowest it’s been since September 1969. And the economy has been stable and steady for 126 consecutive months, adding thousands of jobs in a variety of sectors, including health care, professional and business services, manufacturing, transportation, and much more.

This past Friday, the JOHNLEONARD Team celebrated another successful year (and 50^th year) at our annual holiday party. We started the eventful day with a champagne toast and breakfast in the office. Next, we headed to Tuscan Kitchen in the Seaport where we enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails and each got a caricature drawing of ourselves. We continued the fun in a festive private room where we played an amusing game of “Who am I?”, a competitive Yankee Swap, and enjoyed an excellent three-course Italian lunch. In honor of our 50^th anniversary, a 50” smart TV was raffled off! Cori was the lucky winner who got to take the TV home.

Here at JOHNLEONARD, we are giving thanks to many this holiday season, especially this year as we reflect on the past remarkable fifty years of business. To our devoted team members, talented candidate network, our hardworking Temporary Representatives and to our loyal client organizations, we thank you immensely. Throughout the past half-century, we are extremely grateful for the community that supports JOHNLEONARD. We truly value your relationship and wouldn’t be here without you!

It’s National Staffing Employee Week, and JOHNLEONARD is proud to take this opportunity to celebrate and honor the many contributions of our amazing Temporary Staff Representatives. We cannot thank our employees enough for their hard work and dedication over the past year.

Last night, for our annual summer outing, the entire JOHNLEONARD Team buried the hatchet at Urban Axes in Somerville.

This Employee Appreciation Day we recognize and thank our talented team at JOHNLEONARD.  They are the best at what they do!  Each one of our employees brings a unique perspective and skill-set to the table, ensuring that JOHNLEONARD continues to remain a leader in the staffing industry.

2019 marks a momentous year for JOHNLEONARD as we celebrate a legacy of commitment to ensuring that our Actions Speak Louder Than Words™.

This past Friday, the JOHNLEONARD team celebrated another successful year at our annual holiday party. The event was held at “Boston’s Best Winebar”, Les Zygomates in downtown Boston. The entire team was welcomed by an intimate cocktail hour which included a variety of delicious lighter bites. Followed after, was an exclusive & delicious French Bistro three-course meal, accompanied by an extensive wine list. As always, we participated in our eventful Yankee Swap and challenged each other to an amusing game of “Who am I?” during dessert (crème brûlée of course). The festive day was filled with lots of laughs, shared memories and entertaining stories!
