Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases data on the unemployment rate, jobless claims and other economic indicators. With every report, economic experts and analysts give their overview of the hiring situation and trends. Although the big picture suggests the hiring situation has improved from the start of the recession to today, one question remains the same: "Where are the jobs?"

Job seekers don't care about trends if they can't see the jobs. We want to help job seekers answer that question by giving them a list of 22 companies hiring in large volume. These companies are looking for workers now, and they cover a wide variety of industries.
