Corporate profits are better than ever. So why are you - and pretty much everyone else - having to work harder and harder, for less and less.......Except what's good for American business isn't necessarily good for Americans. We're not just working smarter, but harder. And harder. And harder, to the point where the driver is no longer American industriousness, but something much more predatory. Increasingly, American workers are falling prey to WHAT WE'LL CALL OFFLOADING: cutting jobs and dumping the work ONTO THE REMAINING STAFF. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/42974-the-speedup-Corporate profits are better than ever.

Earlier this year, women became the majority of the workforce for the first time in U.S. history. Most managers are now women too. And for every two men who get a college degree this year, three women will do the same. For years, women’s progress has been cast as a struggle for equality. But what if equality isn’t the end point? What if modern, postindustrial society is simply better suited to women? A report on the unprecedented role reversal now under way— and its vast cultural consequences.... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/412-end-of-menEarlier this year, women became the majority of the workforce for the first time in... more

The UKCES has today revealed its newest initiative in its mission to skill-up the nation’s workforce. The innovative online tool called talentmap, has made the previously confusing task of how and where to get skills advice much more streamlined and easily accessible.
One particularly appealing aspect of this new tool is that it is a resource for all sectors and companies, from SMEs to Blue Chip companies. Whatever the size of a business, finding the correct skills when employing new staff, and skilling-up and training current employees are both integral for any company to grow and prosper. With this in mind, the ease of use and practicality of talentmap ensures it will be on the frontline of skilling-up the UK’s workforce as it hopes to increase in productivity and break into an economic up-turn.
talentmap was the brainchild of Sir Mike Rake (Chairman of BT and UKCES), as he long believed that all the varying initiatives of skills education needed to be collated and simplified to maximise its effect for employers. This is exactly what talentmap achieves, by making skill support available to all age groups (pre-school to adult), all companies (SMEs to Blue Chip) and all skill abilities (general to specialist) all in one easy to use website.

I know we don't have any money to be handing out, but how can you bailout the financial district and let them take advantage of taxpayers while continuing their spa and resort trips, but not bailout the American Auto industry which employs over 33% of our nations workforce?
The car companies aren't the ones who got us into this mess, but the financial district and all the corruption did. Yet we give them handouts of 700Billion, and therefore can't afford to bailout American car makers. Does this not make sense to anybody else???I know we don't have any money to be handing out, but how can you bailout the... more

The jobless figure reached 6.7 percent last month, up from 6.5 percent in October. More than half a million—533,000—were made unemployed during November. It's only the fourth time in the past 58 years that payrolls have fallen by more than 500,000 in a month. “The figures suggest the year-long U.S. recession may approach or even exceed the 1981-1982 downturn in severity, and support expectations that Federal Reserve officials will soon lower interest rates to levels not seen in a half century,” reports the Wall Street Journal. When marginally attached and involuntary part-time workers are included, the rate of unemployed or underemployed workers reached even higher: 12.5% last month, up 0.7 percentage point from October.The jobless figure reached 6.7 percent last month, up from 6.5 percent in October.... more

A Minnesota judge ruled that Wal-Mart cut short employees' rest and meal breaks and forced them to work off the clock, violating the state's labor laws 2 million times.
The judge's order in the class-action lawsuit against the discount retailer awards the plaintiffs $6.5 million in compensatory damages.
An attorney for the plaintiffs expects Wal-Mart will pay much more than that after a jury in October considers a civil penalties and punitive damages.
Justin Perl, who represented the plaintiffs, says Dakota County Judge Robert King Jr.'s ruling sends a message to Wal-Mart that the company must pay for its mistakes.
The ruling, which was handed to the parties Monday evening, comes after similar judgments against Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania and California. Wal-Mart is appealing those rulings.
