It isn’t all bad news in the world of job creation. The Pentagon is hoping to bring on board 13,000 more workers between now and 2010 and an additional 30,000 workers by the year 2014. This goal would be achieved under the budget of Secretary of Defense Robert gates who is proposing rolling back the Defense Department’s dependency on contract labor and instead creating sustainable long term positions. Meanwhile, Sallie Mae announced plans on Monday to create 2000 jobs over the next 18 months. The student lender will be moving those jobs from overseas into the United States. The jobs will be brought back stateside by October 2010 and 600 are planned for Eastern Pennsylvania. Most of the positions are for the company’s call centers.
