Job Creation and Government
JOB CEATION SHOULD NOT BE GOVENMENT'S ESPONSIBILITY
Government in all capitalist nations is actually responsible for efficient allocation and diversion of resources and not for creation of employment opportunities for the people. Capitalist countries thrive on the principle of entrepreneurship and in such countries corporations literally control all economic activity. For this reason, it is impractical to expect the government to intervene when employment opportunities are scarce. Instead government's intervention must be limited to efficient allocation of economic resources and regulation of financial markets through fiscal measures during times of economic slow-down. But under no circumstances, should the government be expected to raise employment level in the country because it is essentially incapable of carrying out the task successfully. It has been noticed that when government is assigned the task of job creation, it does so inefficiently usually hiring more people than needed for various government sponsored projects.…...

Economics
There is a belief, common to economists, that government intervention is necessary to assist economic growth. The current belief that the reason that the economy is faltering is that job growth has faltered, has not altered this perception, even though it probably should have. Recently both the Bush and Obama administrations have tried many different means of stimulating the economy (much as Franklin Delano Roosevelt did during the "Great Depression"), and these means have had varying levels if success. However, despite some small amount of relief and a stronger stock market, job growth remains stagnant and the economy slugs along with it. The efforts of the current administration toward job growth and creation, whether that be in State of the Union speeches or actually policies, have not produced the desired effects. hy is this? Could it be that the Keynesian methods of economic growth and job production are faulty? This…...

ush Administration - Job Creation
The ush Administration is doing a great job of hyping a recent report published by C News and other media showing that the economy had added an extra 308,000 jobs in March, 2004, almost three times more than had been forecasted. However, a closer examination of the underlying numbers shows several reasons for skepticism in this supposedly rosy economic data. The old adage, "All that glitters is not gold," appears to more accurately describe the job creation figures.
In the positive C report, there are several signs that lead one to believe that the job additions are a woefully inadequate measure of the complete job situation. According to C, the U.S. professional and business services sector added 42,000 jobs, education and health 39,000, leisure and hospitality 28,000, and government 31,000. The services and leisure and hospitality sector or noted for lower wages vs. other sectors such as…...

The American Jobs Act
This paper advocates passage of the American Jobs Act of 2011. Two years after the Great Recession of 2007-2009 ended, unemployment continues at near record highs. As of September 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate held at 9.1%, with the number of unemployed persons at 14.0 million. The unemployment rates for adult men (8.8%), adult women (8.1%), teenagers (24.6%), whites (8.0%), blacks (16.0%), and Hispanics (11.3%) were essentially unchanged for September. The number of long-term unemployed, those who were jobless for 27 weeks or longer, was 6.2 million individuals, accounting for 44.4% of the unemployed. The number of individuals employed part-time for economic reasons, also referred to as involuntary part-time workers, rose to 9.3 million in September. These persons worked part-time because their hours had been cut back, or because they were unable to…...

Job Analysis and Performance Appraisal Methods: Practical Applications
My current circumstances could be grooming me for a totally different profession but deep inside, I have always admired the work journalists do. I particularly like how news reporters go out to the field, gather real time information, and interact with newsmakers. In addition to enjoying themselves, these ladies and gentlemen play a very significant role in the creation of a more open and just society. For this assignment, I will address a number of issues with regard to the job I would be interested in pursuing, i.e. news reporting.
Job Analysis
Job analysis according to Werner, Schuler, and Jackson (2010) is essentially "a systematic process of describing and recording information about job behaviors, activities, and worker specifications" (p. 122). In that regard therefore, a job analysis seeks to generate information regarding both those performing the job and the job itself. It is a process…...

As InterClean merged with EnviroTech, the resulting company is one with an increased operational complexity. Specifically, instead of simply selling cleaning products, the new firm would also be offering cleaning services to customers in the health care industry. This specifically means that the quality of the products and services delivered has to be of the utmost highest standards, in order to serve the extreme hygiene needs of the medical field.
In order for the company to succeed in its endeavors, it is necessary for it to adequately staff, train or otherwise manage the human resources. This necessity is pegged to the fact that the employees are the ones who create and sell the products, and also the ones who deliver the services. This means…...

XML is used not only to represent the data but also as a messaging protocol called SOAP; and (6) Portal Integration is another popular integration methodology in use today. It doesn't involve expensive and time consuming technologies and processes that EAI and data warehousing require. Also, it is the most customer-facing of all the methods described in this section. This means that it can be highly personalized and customized to the customer's requirements. In future, portals will present their functionality as web services so that multiple portals from different vendors can be integrated.
Architecture of Portals
The portal, when speaking technically, is "a framework that enables developers to plug various software components called portlets, and then deliver the aggregated content to multi-devices." (Mohan, 2003) Integration may be accomplished through using HRML, JSP, Java eans, Java servlets, XSL that transforms XML through XSL transformation or even CGI.

Over the decades, the nurse has been playing a critical role in determining the underlying amounts of support that are provided to patients. As, they serve as a caregiver as well as friend, who is has a vital role in helping to alleviate suffering and allowing those they are working with to overcome the difficulties they are facing. At the heart of helping the nurse to be more effective, is the Caring and Healing Model for Nursing. This is designed to provide practical applications that will help health care practitioners in achieving these objectives. To fully understand how this is can be utilized requires: providing an explanation of the new professional model of caring-healing practices, conducting an examination of the philosophy itself, the steps that are used to enhance learning / original scholarship mentoring and what steps can disseminate the Caring Science mode of clinical / educational scholarship…...

mlaAt university, I honed and developed my analytical skills, the apex of which was my thesis on the simulation of an ADSL-modem. My work has taught me how to tackle unstructured problems, rather than simply to apply outmoded concepts to new ideas. I am extremely comfortable with several program languages, including Visual basic, C++, Java and Matlab-Simulink. But beyond comfort, I know how to think creatively in the language of technology, much as I know how to communicate in a variety of languages.

Outsourcing" on the U.S. Economy
The increasing trend of outsourcing of jobs from the United States in recent years has assumed alarming proportions. Most projections indicate that the present trend is going to accelerate in future. The issue has invited greater attention recently as more and more categories of white collar jobs are now being outsourced by the U.S. companies while in the past only lower paid industrial jobs were affected. Some economists including officials of the present U.S. administration have shrugged off the phenomenon as part of economic globalization and believe that it would prove beneficial for the U.S. economy in the long-term. Others are of the view that the negative impact of outsourcing far outweighs its positive effect. In this essay, I shall highlight the negative effects of outsourcing on the U.S. economy, besides outlining the current and future trends in out-sourcing.
The trend of relocating jobs to other…...

S., as they now have the guarantee that the U.S. market is ready to receive and purchase their products.
This is especially important for developing economies that grow at a fast pace, but which also need the necessary markets on which to develop and sell their products. One such example is China, which is an enormous producer, but one that cannot resist unless there are powerful markets on which its products can be sold. Countries in Central and Eastern Europe are similar examples in this sense.
As one can see, a simple change in one of the economic indices, such as the job creation index, has, in fact, greater implications at a larger level and from a more overwhelming perspective and gives good signals towards not only the direction of the U.S. economy, but to the evolution of the international economy at the same time.

Global changes in the banking and financial sectors have cause flow of not only work but finance to countries that were unreachable like China and Indian have opened markets globally owing to the international and U.S. pressure after globalization. The need to invest in these countries stem from the fact that Indian market is very lucrative especially with the Forex and commodities. These changes have resulted in the introduction of information technology, networking, the way work is done, and qualifications has caused the outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries and thus has become the biggest economic issues of recent years.

Finally, the interview with the top management would be the final stage of the selection process and it would be structured around an informal interaction between candidate and the top managers.

mlaThis article in the Financial Times reflects on the current economic situation and the possible responses to it. The article starts with a cursory review of the various bail-outs by the United States Treasury, as well as an analysis of Obama's stimulus package, determining that not only are these packages largely unfair to the American people, they will also be ineffective in changing our falling status in the global economy.
The main focus of the article, however, is on the current state of employment and the average American worker. The author's claim that we are currently experiencing the greatest wage differential since 1928, and that much of the past several decades has been devoted quite explicitly to making the rich richer. They also suggest that the only real fix for the current economic crisis is the creation of jobs and the institution of policies that create and ensure fairness in tax law and wages. The gist of their argument seems to be that large financial institutions and hugely wealthy -- and therefore economically powerful -- individuals have largely created the problems we find ourselves faced with, and that sending money to them will not fix the problem.

1) Many studies have shown that minimum wage increases have a positive impact on reducing poverty rates. By ensuring that workers earn a wage that covers their basic needs, minimum wage laws help lift low-income individuals and families out of poverty.
2) Minimum wage laws can also stimulate economic growth. When low-wage workers have more money to spend, they are more likely to consume goods and services. This increased consumer spending can boost demand, leading to job creation and supporting local businesses.
3) Implementing a minimum wage can also improve public health outcomes. Research has found that higher wages are associated with....

Counter urbanisation refers to the movement of people away from larger urban areas to smaller towns and rural areas.
This phenomenon is often driven by factors such as high cost of living in cities, overcrowding, pollution, and lack of affordable housing.
Individuals may choose to counter urbanise in search of a better quality of life, greater sense of community, or a desire to live closer to nature.
Counter urbanisation can have both positive and negative impacts on the areas experiencing population growth, such as increased strain on infrastructure and services, but also potential economic benefits from new residents.
