Our recent research also shows an increase in frontline hiring. Humetrics just finished a survey for Convenience Store Decisions magazine .(to be published int he January issue) . Our study found that over 50% of convenience retailers reported having already increased hiring or are planning to in the next year. The only problem is that they are reducing the number of full time positions and are increasing the number of part time positions. In reality this looks to be either a net loss or at best a break even when compared to full time equivalent positions. Good news Bad news.
