According to US News, hiring is expected to pick up in the New Year.
The economy added 146,000 jobs last month; experts predicted only 85,000.
"Historically, the first quarter of any fiscal year is always the best time to expect hires because of the normal cycle of business," says Robert Meier, president of Job Market Experts, a Florida-based firm that helps match job seekers with openings.
"Companies are kind of lying low, but now is the time when they do the talent evaluation. If you can get into the evaluation cycle, you have a good chance of getting hired," he said in an interview with US News.
The unemployment rate is currently at 7.9 percent - the lowest in four years - while the United States economy has added around 151,000 jobs each month in 2012.
Additionally, home builder confidence is at a 6 year high.
