SMALL BUSINESS SURVIVAL OR DEATH IN THIS RECESSION
COMMENTS: BECAUSE OF A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE, WE SHUT OFF COMMENTS TO OLDER BLOGS. JOIN OUR DISCUSSION IN OUR MOST RECENT BLOG. 
Numerous companies and organizations are proving that DIRECT MARKETING is what has kept their business steady and thriving in the middle of this recession which may not improve any time soon. The nice thing about most direct marketing is it involves independent contractors who follow a business owners guidelines, but the business owner does not have to absorb the expenses that accompany an employee-employer relationship. Anyone can implement Direct Marketing. It’s also attractive to independent contractors because they may often times work out of their home or set their own schedule as they get paid based on their production. Its a win-win for all involved. Sellers can buy a required amount of inventory to assure their dedication and reduce the risk for the employer. If its a service commodity, independent contractors may invest or pay an upfront fee to cover the expenses of demonstration, training, or general expense materials. You are creating jobs for people!
In order to place your product on the shelves of a retailer, you have to pay them a fee to do this. Politics come into play and serve as obstacles to putting your product on the shelves, because most well established competitors don’t want your product next to their product. You need a large amount of cash. Your turnover rate in a retail store may be 2%-5%. Direct selling gives you 80-100% dependent upon your initial cost.
Its been shown that only 24% of small businesses are using social media which is declined from six months to a year ago. However out of this percentage, 82% use one of the most popular social networking mediums. The expectations of what social media can do have changed in that business owners are finally realizing it is great for building social awareness about their company versus direct sales. The sales will flow automatically in a more indirect manner. This is a turn off to many who are stuck in a rut of old fashioned thinking, but it has done wonders for those who are willing to explore new and free ways of gaining exposure for their business. How many people read a phone book just to browse through it? Phone books are typically used when someone has already decided they need a product or service. In social networking, you are reaching an audience you may have never reached through other methods of advertising or marketing. It works wonders. When it begins to launch and convert itself into sales, most business owners are inundated with customers. If you don’t have a long term mindset, you’ll have to develop one along with patience. Its the difference between building a quick short-lived fire in fifteen minutes versus taking an hour or two to collect the twigs, branches & logs to assure you have the ingredients for a robust fire that will burn for days. Social media works the same way. It can take months before you see the results, but rest assured you are gathering the ingredients for a solid foundation & long term survival in your industry. Your bonfire will be seen from miles away. Your competitors will attract a small group of consumers in a short period of time, but they won’t hang around once the flames fizzle out. Where do you think they will go? They are going to run for the massive flames. Make sure that bonfire is attached to your business.
START BUILDING YOUR BONFIRE TODAY BY BUILDING YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK TODAY.
ECONOMIC AND JOB GROWTH IS SLOW BUT STEADY
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC to 43 BC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicero
LOOKING FOR A JOB, JOB SEARCHING, FINDING JOBS, JOB PLACEMENT, RECRUITING, RECRUITERS,
OR
SEARCHING FOR LABOR, SEARCHING FOR TALENT, SEARCHING FOR QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS, LOOKING TO FILL A POSITION
Growth in the market is slow but it is occurring.
Steel & metal workers in Illinois and Missouri felt the positive shift.
Producers of medications and medical equipment in the health care industry also witnessed a rise in demand.
Previously overall manufacturing was on the rise (April)
Retail sales was doing well (April-current)
The fashion industry in New York experienced an increase (May-June)
The housing market improved as mortgage rates dropped (May-June)
Tourism received a boost (April)
Since February 2010, a higher number of people, for the first time, voluntarily left their jobs than were asked to leave through layoffs or termination. In addition and more recently, for the first time in a long time fewer people have been laid off in Januray of 2011 and the number of jobs created exceeded the number of lost jobs across the nation.
Part of the struggle and challenge is that each time we take a step forward we seem to be facing a new disaster. When we say we, we mean the whole world.
Greece was unable to repay their tab on social programs, overspending and more in April 2010. Greece just didn’t have the cash. Greece is part of the Euro Currency Union so that a default without repercussions is not feasible. Experts denote that Ireland, Italy, Portugal & Spain are in a similar position. Experts claim it is just a matter of time before these other European countries follow suit behind Greece.
We have been faced with the oil spill which continues to draw on our resources and while taking jobs away it is also adding jobs. We must remain focused on the creation of jobs at all times while remaining aware of the loss of jobs. Our energy and resources should be invested in the creation of jobs or in finding jobs for people.
The recent flooding in Tennessee and more recently in Arkansas has not helped businesses in those areas.
GOOD NEWS:
As the number of people who quit their jobs out numbers the employees who were terminated, experts state with confidence that this shows that employees are being given options, job offers, and income. It shows there is cash in the market to generate and regenerate small to mid-size businesses, households, financial institutions, educational institutions, government sectors, insurance companies, factories, manufacturers, and more.
Interest rates are expected to remain low and continue to be aggressively worked on to maintain such attractive levels.
We are not facing issues with inflation because influential businesses and their leaders realize the damage that would follow in such a fragile economy.
Even with the fall-outs of earthquakes, oil spills, war, floods, etc. we must keep in mind that we still managed to stay afloat. Again we call to action progressive and proactive behavior toward solutions and avoid investments of time and efforts in dwelling on the challenges and obstacles. Great men and women must overcome great obstacles & great nations are the only nations that can conquer great challenges. These events have not stopped us. Events of the past of our ancestors have not beaten us either.
Stocks jumped upward as of Friday, 6-2010. Ben Bernanke (Chairman of the Federal Reserve) estimates continual growth being slow but steady and we are not expected to fall back into a recession.
Courage is the key for the entire world. Embracing courage at a time when you are not feeling very courageous is the only time courage is put to the test.

YOUR CAREER & THE KIND OF CAR YOU DRIVE
http://4carwallpapers.com/tag/koenigsegg-ccxr
Depending on your employer and its key decision makers, the type of car you own and operate can be considered an extension of your fashion sense. Especially for the more youthful crowd or the young-at-heart crowd, you should always be aware of the message you are sending to your employer by the choice of car you drive. Some companies and occupations thrive on the flashiness of an automobile. Know your audience. Know your clients or clients to be . Know your co-workers or co-workers to be. In other words, if you are a sales representative and 50% or more of your anticipated clientele is going to be comprised of senior citizens, then choose a car that will send a calming message to your clients and your employer.
If however you are intending to be a club/party promoter in a high paced high fashion community, then a flashier car may be more suitable. Applying common sense is the protocol. Try to match your car with your career. We have worked with companies where no one earns anything less than six figures (including the clerical team), yet the company’s parking lot contains vehicles that cost $30,000.00 or less. We have seen CEO’s and presidents who are doing quite well, but opt to drive a Chevrolet Impala (fully loaded) and its not a “company car”.
An environmentally based employer may expect you to be operating a “green” vehicle. Your car could be the tie breaker between you and another applicant or candidate just like your clothing fashion sense, your manners, vocabulary and more. All we are saying is be as polished as you can be before heading into that interview.
If affordable, the best case scenario is to own two vehicles. This again is based on affordability and an abundance of income with suitable savings and retirement accounts and investments solidly in place. If you find yourself with an undying desire to drive a stylish high performance exotic vehicle, but your job dictates a more conservative mode of transportation, some professionals have satisfied both sides of their life by owning two vehicles. Many professionals appeal to their “creative” side by investing in a motorcycle.
We all fall prey to becoming preoccupied with our freedom of how we spend our income that we can overlook the messages we are sending to our bosses or superiors at work. We’ve witnessed qualified employees holding themselves back, unknowingly, for a promotion. Just put yourself in your employers’ position. If you were responsible for determining which of two employees you are going to promote to take on three times the amount of responsibility they have now, to meet with the public (all ages), and to be more visible in the community (all things being equal), would you choose the worker driving the two seater with the loud music or would you select the candidate with the sedan or SUV? Imagine if once in a great while the employee is required to pick up a vendor or client from the airport/train station or be the driver for lunch.
As petty as it may seem, executives and owners of companies can’t afford to be cavalier about their choices for jobs and promotions. Their reputations is on the line too. Again, your job and employer may or may not be effected at all by the kind of car you drive, but its something to keep in mind for those of you whose company culture does dictate something different in more subtle terms. Next time you drive into your parking lot or garage at work, take note of the automobile styles of your peers and especially of the those in a higher position you’d like to attain some day.

CHRISTIANITY
CHINA
CAPITALISM
With 5,000-6,000 years of proven history and communism taking its hold in 1949, China must be talked about in terms of our jobs and our economy. You may be for or against the U.S.A. reaching out to China and hosting a formal dinner that some say was long overdue and others feel there is no need for the formality. Can we afford to ignore such a massive country in terms of population, sheer size, political and economic power? A country that some say owns a piece of the U.S.A. on paper. Analysts say China needs the U.S.A. more than the U.S.A needs China. At the end of the day both countries seem to be in need of one another no matter the degree of need. China isn’t going anywhere and yes many of their government practices go against our core beliefs.
An extremely strange and unlikely phenomenon has been taking place in China. It has been a long time coming since the Cultural Revolution of China in the mid 1960′s and the massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989. China’s focus has always been on business and ways to stay in the game earning profits. China can’t afford economic mistakes given its population of over 1.3 billion people on a planet that holds approximately 6.7 billion total. China carries 20% of the world’s population. China is slowly opening its doors to bits and pieces of Christianity. It may not be that those in control are for Christianity in their hearts, though we can’t say, but they acknowledge the positive influence Christianity has on their economy. The more they loosen the restraints on Christianity the more the country prospers & we can attest to China’s most recent growth spurt toward the number two spot of economic world powers. China’s people are responding more favorably once converting to Christianity and more people are coming out of the closet with their Christianity. Some list China’s main religions or beliefs as Atheism, Buddhism, Shenism-Taoism, Islam, Confucianism, Catholicism, & Protestantism. Many argue which ones are more popular but most would agree that China’s government has pursued and encouraged Atheism with great fervor.
HAS CHINA COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD FOR CAPITALISM?
China is moving further away from Communism for over thirty years. It is a slow but steady process. The motivation behind the change is rooted in job and economic growth. So while it may not be pure its happening and perhaps purity will follow the economic effects. Don’t make the mistake of thinking Christians are welcomed in every corner of this massive land. There is still a great deal of persecution against Christians and other religions though some would argue the validity of this allegation. We allow the missionaries we know personally to tell their stories. The stories speak of persecution being alive and well. Some statistics indicate more people are behind bars in China for their faith than in any other country.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
-
It is reported that three or more people are forbidden from gathering for religious sake without prior government approval.
-
Churches and other places of worship remain unregistered and thus illegal in China because to register your place of worship means the government controls what you do, who does it and how they do it.
-
It is illegal to educate a person under the age of 18 about God/Jesus.
-
The torture that many endure is unspeakable in the attempt by police to convince their captives to turn in others.
Many churches remain underground with “look-outs” in the event of raids that result in torture and murder, which are common. The worshipers are often told to “keep it down” when their excitement builds for their faith. There are Christians in China who have a very different account of their ability to practice their faith arguing there are no issues. Jim Mingri, a pastor of the Zion Church is one of them. He is proof that things are changing in China and that not everyone’s experience is the same. Did the Chinese government formally request the 700 Club appoint Christian ministers to spread the Gospel? We don’t know the specifics. So if you ever wonder why Christians in the U.S.A fight so hard for their right to practice, its because every religion, belief system, race, or classification of people is closer to losing their rights and freedoms as we know it because we live with a false sense of security. We fail to realize that a single catastrophic act or occurrence or subtle and gradual opinions can alter the way the country and world look at you. You can fall out of or in favor in a single day. 911 is a perfect example of an immediate shift in reaction toward Islam while Sikh followers were also targeted out of ignorance for the differences in attire. We are all susceptible. What we fight for in this country is what we fight for in every country for every person.
http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/china_705/interview/extended.html The word underground is being replaced with independent.
We take much for granted in the USA, including those of us who choose not to worship. We have the freedom to attend or not attend a church, a synagogue or any place of worship for a wedding, a funeral or a social gathering of any kind at your leisure. How many people who don’t practice a religion have had the luxury and freedom of attending a church because of an affair or event inolving a friend, family member or co-worker? Keep in mind many faiths are under persecution in China. As we look at the economy of America we MUST look at the economy of the world and other leading nations. Our jobs are effected by jobs overseas and vice versa. We can’t ignore their existence any more than they can ignore ours. How do we work side by side with a nation so different than ours politically and socially? Is it even feasible? Should it be attempted?
Perhaps closing the door on China would also be like closing the door on the Christians and Capitalists of China. China is more than just its government. Its 1.3 billion people who we can guarantee aren’t just vying for the number two position. They won’t stop climbing until they reach number one. When you witness someone you don’t care for (because their ethics differ from yours) climbing the ladder toward CEO in your company or some other powerful position, do you ignore them or do you strive to bridge the gap because that person will influence your livelihood? Your voice must be heard because it is crucial to your survival & the company’s survival. We witnessed what happens in the court room to the companies who hire and promote executives who are unethical while ruling with arrogance and an unyielding iron fist. Is China changing?

UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS IN CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY & NATIONWIDE HEALTH CARE STATS
Camden New Jersey is known for its impoverished status and high crime activity. Camden’s political officials were balancing a budget that was impossible to balance. The money is simply not there. As a result half of the Camden Police Department and one third of the Camden Firefighters were laid off today. All jobs and positions were effected in some capacity including those that served as a support for the actual police firefighters. Camden received less assistance from the state level officials and the revenue usually drawn from taxes has dwindled.
Photos of work boots from the laid off workers are lined up along the sidewalk outside City Hall to make a statement. They wanted to show the public how many officers would no longer be available in an already crime-ridden environment. No worker wants to be laid off. When the money is gone, what is a city, state or country to do? Approximately 335 workers lost their jobs today (1/18/2011) in Camden New Jersey. Some reports say this is 25% of Camden’s total work force and others estimate a little less. Regardless, private industry has been shouting from its roof tops for four years now and no one seems to be listening or seems to have cared. Private industry began laying off workers as early as 2006 and certainly by 2007 lay offs were in full swing and have yet to come to a halt. In addition hundreds of thousands of workers who lost their jobs in 2007 remain unemployed in 2011. Many who were fortunate enough to find work found work paying fifty percent or less than what they were accustomed to earning.
Many people who have been unemployed for years were watching the reactions of the firemen and women and the police force and support staff today who were laid off and the long term unemployed had mixed emotions. Their hearts went out to them but they also wondered why this came as a surprise because they have been trying to alert people to the catastrophe of joblessness we are facing nationwide. Many of the long term unemployed have already lost their homes, their cars, their ability to pay their every day expenses that most take for granted and their sense of self worth.
Mayor Dana Redd of Camden said they could have bypassed a good number of layoffs if the unions had been more flexible in their negotiations. Union officials argued that there was no guarantee from city politicians that jobs would be preserved if they were willing to concede on several issues and without that promise they felt jobs would be lost along with having given in to numerous concessions. As they say there are three sides to every story. There is still a chance for workers to regain some of the lost positions if the union agrees to the city’s proposals.
How many people in private industry would cherish the opportunity to “negotiate” their jobs back? That number would probably be in the 95 to 99 percentile range. Many workers are appealing their layoffs by filing formal appeals. The citizens of Camden have a great many concerns related to safety that most of us would never be able to attach a monetary figure to if it was threatened as it is in Camden, especially when you are facing crime on a daily basis right outside your front door.
At what cost do we compromise safety?
Is Camden just one city of many to follow suit?
On a more positive note mass hospital layoffs decreased over the last few months and that is excellent news for the health care industry. Unemployment for health care hospital workers was higher in 2009 than 2010 and seems to be heading in the right direction nationwide for 2011. Jobs are being created in the health care industry. Eight thousand jobs were added in November and forty thousand jobs were added for the year of 2010 prior to November.

2010 NATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATES AND CREATION OF JOBS NATIONWIDE
The national unemployment rate fell to 9.4% at the close of last year in December, 2010. The country experienced a gain of 103,000 jobs. There is a dilemma with these figures. Some say that while jobs are being created, there is also a faction of the unemployed population that is blending into the background of our society and they are becoming invisible. These are the people who no longer qualify for unemployment and have basically given up after two, three, four, five and more years without a job. We must also consider that portion of the population that is approaching retirement age and few to no employers are giving them any consideration.
Even though we didn’t create as many jobs as we wanted last month, there was a trade off in that unemployment was reduced in terms of rates more than anticipated by the experts. Experts wanted one hundred fifty thousand jobs to be created. We were short by forty seven thousand. The government had its share of lay offs and cut backs of approximately ten thousand workers. Nearly one and a half million Americans qualify as unemployed who are outside the radar range. In other words they have essentially given up looking for work.
We need to experience an increase of about 300,000 jobs for it to impact the labor rate. A job growth spurt of 150,000 only accounts for and balances out the newest members of our population (birth/immigration). The statistics reveal a total job loss of 8.5 million during this recession. Others argue a much higher number is more realistic ranging from fifteen to twenty million jobs lost. We enjoyed a gain of 1.1 million jobs in the entire year of 2010. 2010 proved to be the best year for hiring since 2007 when the recession began under the former administration. On average the last quarter of the year 2010 yielded job gains of 128,000 per month.
Overall although we’d all like to see a quick fix to the recession and unemployment, the statistics speak loud and clear that we are on the UPSWING in terms of the economy, the job market and the overall recession. We are climbing up and out of our ditch and that is great news. Again, it is slow but it appears rather steady. We have to begin looking at the plus side of all of this. This is a country that was still facing stagnant issues with collision of American & Russian satellites; North Korea launches a rocket which spawns a meeting of the United Nations Security Council; H1N1 virus reached epidemic proportions; Government takeover of GMC because of grave financial issues; American Samoas are hit by an 8.3 earthquake rendering total destruction;
Red River flooding in Fargo North Dakota; Mount Redoubt in Alaska errupts on several occasions; Tornados ripped through the midwest and south and in areas not typically affected by tornados;
Dubai asks for a deferment on their debt after it completed monumental renovations and other construction and development projects, as a result stock markets drop significantly world wide in every major market (11/2009); Effects of Hurricane Katrina still linger and people remain homeless, the BP Oil Spill (spring of 2010), The Afghan War, the Iraqi War, the call of duty and rapid response to the victims of a monumental earthquake in Haiti, entire countries are being bailed out of financial ruin by the European Union (we are not one of them because we are not part of the European Union)…
This is merely a handful of items and events that occurred in the last two years. Eventhough we faced all of these issues and so many more, we are still climbing upward despite our obstacles. What does that tell you about our nation?

HAPPY NEW YEAR & FAREWELL TO CELEBRITIES & NOTABLE PEOPLE 2000-2010
Heading into the 2011th New Year of Anno Domini, we like to reminisce with our audience over the last eleven years (2000-2010). This segment is dedicated to the memories of people who walked this planet. Whether we embraced them or not we believe their names will jar something inside of us. This country and this world has potential beyond recognition if only we would direct our energy and resources toward good and remain constructive and productive, we could be witnesses to even greater accomplishments within ourselves and others.
Let 2011 be a year where…
- we pass a little less judgment
- we open our hearts to those that fall outside our comfort zone
- we search for things we can do for others in service to mankind
- we relinquish a few degrees of self absorption and self focus
- we recognize and celebrate our small victories and count our blessings thanking Something/Someone more intelligent & powerful than us
- we recognize our flaws and mistakes and move forward using them as a learning tool and not an excuse to continue to fall short
- we face every trial and punch in life as an “I dare you” challenge with the fervor of a warrior and the courage of a lion

TEN OF THE FASTEST GROWING INDUSTRIES FOR 2011
As we enter 2011 and close out 2010, we have to continue looking ahead and striving for more financial security as individuals, families, communities, states, as a nation and across the globe as a whole. It was not just the U.S.A. that experienced an economic down turn. Since all aspects of business trade are intertwined internationally in some shape or form, we have to consider our international neighbors around the world.
PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, SPEECH and MUSIC THERAPY: Music Therapy is one of the latest growing types of therapies that are offering scholarships. Its been shown to reduce stress, expedite healing and in some cases it has reduced the need for chemical medication.
HOME HEALTH AIDES & PERSONAL AND HOME CARE AIDES: As our society becomes more health conscious, we are living longer. As a result of extending our life expectancy, we are experiencing degenerative ailments we’ve not see in large numbers in the last century until recently. Aging people are being provided more options in insurance policies for long term and short term care and with those policies may come the option of seeking elder assistance in the comfort of your home as opposed to being admitted to a nursing home or rehabilitation facility.
ENGINEERS: There will always be a need for engineers as technology is for ever changing with monumental advancements in every industry with special focus on environmental issues as of late.
NETWORK SYSTEMS AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS ANALYSTS: This will continue to be a growing industry. It is best to remain flexible with regard to international relocation.
LANGUAGE: View the trends and learn which languages may be beneficial over the next ten to twenty years. Certainly Spanish, any one or more of the major Middle Eastern languages, Chinese dialects, the more popular Eastern Indian, African, and European languages could be beneficial. The more languages you can learn earlier on in life, the more marketable you will be. This is one of the questions that is asked on many applications now. It could make all the difference in you getting a call for an interview or your application being tossed in a pile with countless other applications. This is something for parents to think about too while being actively involved in their child’s education. It is easier to learn one or more languages during your early developmental stages than when you reach adulthood.
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS: These two occupations are expected to be in demand for some time. Quality is of utmost importance in this field too.
ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS: This is a field that has remained steady in its growth over the years. Bookkeeping is another aspect of this industry.
DENTAL SPECIALISTS: Because of the rise of cosmetic surgery, fields like this are growing tremendously.
OPTHOMOLOGY, OPTOMETRY SPECIALISTS: This is and has been a growing field as well and is always in need.
WASTE MANAGEMENT/DISPOSAL: As we run out of space, and our population continues to grow waste disposal will always be a necessity throughout the world.
INTERNET HOSTING AND PUBLISHING: This industry isn’t likely to go anywhere but up in need and usage as the majority of us have entered the electronic age for much of our communication, information, transactions and more.
SECURITY GUARDS: Security is increasing at nearly every work place especially since this country experienced a terrorist attack nearly a decade ago. Homeland Security has also sparked more localized security.

TAX RELIEF EXTENSION, UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENTIONS, LOWER, MIDDLE & UPPER CLASSES
We can speculate all we want as to how we got ourselves into this mess, when it happened and who is most responsible. We don’t think there is a single blameless person in this country any more than we believe anyone should serve as the sole scapegoat for our current predicament. Most of us are not well informed about who is running for a particular office, their history, or platform. We can blame it on time limitations, the media and so many obstacles that get between us and who we have placed in office since the establishment of the U.S.A.
Everyone knows by now that the extension on tax cuts is in place as of December 17th, 2010 and it will last for two years. What happens at the end of two years? Will there be an attempt to overcompensate for this “free ride” we are benefiting from today? Could it mean a 50% tax in the future or something close to it? It could and these are things we all need to watch for and pay close attention to as we listen and read between the lines of what politicians, incumbents and candidates are claiming and alleging in future campaigns. In the meantime we urge everyone, employers, individuals and families alike to “clock” their two year time period and fully comprehend that you must spend to help the economy but to definitely be mindful of stashing a portion of your earnings. At the end of two years none of us know how much will be taken back. Invest wisely and secure as much of your wealth as is plausible. Advisers recommend shielding ourselves from future taxation in 2013 safely, legally and moderately. Many experts don’t recommend hoarding because that is what has caused the economy to stifle itself over the last few years, but be wise about all your decisions and seek the expert financial advice you need.
The estate tax reform for farmers and ranchers is a definite benefit to the families and business structures in the agricultural industry. It provides much needed relief in the often forgotten areas of America, which is the rural areas. The American Farm Bureau Federation has offered its congratulations to President Obama and congress for their committment to this highly valued and necessary community.
John Boehner is expected to take the Speaker of the House position in January, 2011.

The 99′ers (those who have received unemployment benefits for 99 weeks) were not even a consideration in this tax bill
*Youth unemployment is at 18% and climbing.
*There are five applicants for every job opening (proof that joblessness is not increased or prolonged by unemployment benefits).
*It is a myth that the unemployed are lazy and slothful. Again we remind everyone that these unemployed people were getting up and going to work every day before they were told they were no longer welcomed at the workplace. These people didn’t just suddenly stop going to work. They were forced to leave. They were asked to leave. They were told to leave.
*What does and has caused continued joblessness for the 99′ers? Some say it was the free trade act which facilitated and encouraged outsourcing along with budget policies.
Have the very things put in place to help businesses, actually hurt them to the point they had no choice but to institute layoffs or restructuring world wide in order to preserve the company?

HURRY EMPLOYER TAX INCENTIVES FOR 2010!
As of now employers STILL have until December 31, 2010 to hire an unemployed individual in order to qualify for a $1,000.00 tax break. In most cases the person must be unemployed for at least sixty days (60 days). The employers in most cases will also qualify for an additional $1,000.00 tax break if the employer retains that employee for at least one year. This means an employer could receive a two thousand dollar ($2,000.00) tax break for every unemployed person they bring on board.
*This incentive was initiated by Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York (Chuck Schumer). It is known as The HIRE Now Tax Cut Bill.
*Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah is noted with partnering with Schumer on this bill.
*The bill went into effect in the earlier part of this year, March of 2010.
*New York employers received tax incentives for their hiring of over three hundred thousand (300,000) employees.
*Senator Schumer was forced to fight for an extension of this bill in August of 2010. That extension was granted through 12/31/10.
*The bill was introduced on February 3, 2010 (2/3/10) and so any private sector employee hired from a sixty day plus unemployed status after the date of 2/3/10, will qualify the employer for the tax incentive.
*Another incentive is that the employer does not have to pay the employer’s share of the required Social Security payroll tax on that employee for 2010 (6.2.%).
*Remember the bill was introduced on 2/3/10, but passed in March 2010 and extended in August 2010.
*Will they extend it again into 2011? It would only be logical to do so, but we have been unable to find any details within the recent tax break extensions which address this specific issue. We are not sure if they are considering that a separate issue. We do know that the re-elected Senator Schumer is pushing for an extension into 2011.
*Employers are skiddish of the unemployed and this serves to soften the blow of the risk in hiring someone who has been unemployed for months, if not years. In turn the unemployed who were victims of these mass layoffs at least stand a chance at evening the playing field when it comes to interviewing against their competition which are currently employed.
*SPELL IT OUT: A private sector company that hires five previously unemployed candidates could earn a tax incentive of $10,000.00. If that employer hires ten unemployed individuals they may earn up to $20,000.00 in tax incentives and so on.
*As of August the average unemployed worker found themselves unemployed for at least ten months. We are certain those numbers have a wider spread now that we are in December 2010.
