Acton drug testing firm boosts revenue in 2014, Q4

Acton-based employment drug testing company Psychemedics Corp. (NASDAQ: PMD) boosted revenue in fiscal 2014 by 9 percent on “strong new business growth,” CEO Raymond Kubacki said in an earnings statement, but not necessarily because companies are hiring at a greater clip. “New business has accounted for our entire gain, as well as offset softness in the jobs market.
