[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 825616, member: 13254"] [COLOR=sienna][I][B] Of course there are many factors in the rise and fall of the number of companies and to suggest that any one factor makes or breaks a company's future is a simplistic at best. I look at the determining factors like a puzzle with many pieces. Job growth depends on supply & demand, competition, company stability due to profits as well as other factors. When the economy is as erratic as it is now, any missing piece of the puzzle can stop all individual company growth.
