Once again, uncertainty stymies the economy
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/06/business/fear-of-fiscal-cliff-has-industry-pulling-back.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all
As if new job creation wasn't slow enough, now businesses are going to hold off even longer on hiring new employees until Congress and the President figure out how to avoid this 'financial cliff' that's coming in January of next year. It was bad enough when all these companies had to worry about was Obamacare. Now they are doubly scared to make any kind of risky business decisions.
Don't expect the unemployment rate to get below 8% until well after the first of the new year.

The coming 'Financial Cliff', and what it REALLY means for America
http://secondtonone.org/sequestration-puts-2-14-million-total-jobs-at-risk
That's right, you read correctly. Over 2 MILLION jobs are at risk come January when mandated budget cuts kick in, unless Congress and the President act to avoid these cuts. No one seems to want to discuss the implications of these kinds of job losses. It would appear that the popular consensus is that Congress will wait until the eleventh hour, and then make sure this doesn't happen. However, a lot rides on what happens in November's Presidential elections. If this doesn't get taken care of, due to lame duck status in either Congress or the Whitehouse, this country faces the very REAL threat of job losses that would easily put the unemployment rate over 9% again.
Defense contractors would be especially hit hard.
http://pushbacknow.net/2012/08/01/us-defense-security-and-jobs-threatened-redalert/
Missouri stands to lose 51,000 jobs alone. According to the report outlined in the article above:
"The study outlines the impacts in all 50 states with California, Virginia and Texas experiencing the largest potential jobs loss and most states taking five-digit job losses."
Most states would suffer five figure job losses. Is your state prepared for that kind of economic hardship? You might want to keep that in mind when you go to the polls to vote for our next President.
America can't afford to let this happen.

We're missing the point...
http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2012/07/who_invented_the_internet_the_outrageous_conservative_claim_that_every_tech_innovation_came_from_private_enterprise_.single.html
Yes, private tech companies DID NOT invent the internet! Nor did they invent the protocols that allow the internet to function the way it does. Yes, the Federal government built a good portion of our highway system that allows for the transportation of goods from port cities to the rest of America. And YES, local municipalities built the water and sewer systems (as well as the access roads) that allows businesses to function and people to get to them.
But, guess what?
We PAID for all that infrastructure, with our tax dollars. It's not like it was just given to us out of the goodness of government philanthropy. So, when our President gets up before an audience and announces to small business owners, "...You didn't build that.", he's technically right. BUT, what was IMPLIED by that statement was that, somehow, the private sector owes something BACK to the community for the use of these infrastructures, even though they financed (and continue to finance) it! Small business owners pay municipal taxes, just like everyone else in the community. Beyond that, they collect sales taxes that go straight towards city and state coffers.
Small businesses owe NOTHING for the use of municipal infrastructures, nor do they own anyone for the use of the internet. And they DID build their businesses, through hard work during long hours while sacrificing time away from family and leisure.
Sorry, Mr. President, but you were just plain wrong on this one....

No one is truly successful on their own, according to Barack Obama
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/07/15/obama-dashes-american-dream-suggests-nobody-achieves-success-alone/
After having watched this speech in it's entirety, it's just so OBVIOUS the disdain that Barack Obama holds for successful business people. In his eyes, every successful business got that way on the backs of the poor and down-trodden. Heck, there's not a company in business today that would have gotten ANYWHERE if it weren't for the ditch diggers and laborers who built this country's roads and bridges. The person who works 80 hours a week, risking his own money to build and grow his business doesn't work ANY harder then the person who's pushing a shovel into the ground to lay down water pipes for the city.
Really? REALLY??
The message is load and clear... If it weren't for the GOVERNMENT (and it's workers) building and maintaining the nation's infrastructure, private enterprise couldn't even exist. Therefore, private enterprise OWES something back.
Never mind that it's OUR tax dollars that funded the initial construction and continue funding the maintenance of these systems. Never mind that it's private enterprise that makes municipal bond sales possible, so that local and state entities can afford these projects.
Do small business owners think they are smarter then the average joe, allowing them to create a successful and profitable enterprise? In some cases, YES! They figured out an easier or better way to get something done, and figured out how to market that to the rest of the world to earn a profit. But, for the most part, small business owners do NOT think themselves smarter then the rest of us. They just decided to do what most of the rest of us are UNWILLING to do:

But, for the most part, small business owners do NOT think themselves smarter then the rest of us. They just decided to do what most of the rest of us are UNWILLING to do:
- Work long hours every day, including weekends, for next to nothing at the start of their business
- Risk their own money and credit to fund their startup
- Sacrifice vacation time, sleep, and luxury items like taking the family out to dinner occasionally
- Deal with customer, vendor, inventory AND employee issues
Here's some food for thought.... If starting your own business and being SUCCESSFUL at it were easy, we'd all be running successful small businesses. Small business owners pour their hearts and souls into their companies. They make (sometimes very painful) sacrifices to get to the point where they can call themselves successful. Given the financial hoops that they have to jump through just to get started, and the maze of regulatory roadblocks they have to navigate to STAY in business, it's a wonder anyone bothers.
So, to say that a successful small business owner somehow owes their success to the guy that dug up the drainage ditch out front, is just a TINY bit disingenuous....

The state of the PERSONAL economy
Having made it my job to keep a finger on the pulse of the economic news being put out by the media, it's quite obvious that things are tough on the job front. I personally, however, have been able to avoid the pitfalls of a struggling economy. I've worked steadily full time for the last 22 year, and part time for 5 years before that. I've managed to create a pile of debt, and then pay that dept down to about nil right now. I've been able to save a little here and a little there, but always seem to have to use that savings for those rainy days that creep up every now and then. I live paycheck to paycheck, yet have been able to start a business that I hope eventually will be able to replace my company salary.
In other words, I'm not getting rich right now, but I'm also not struggling to make ends meet, like you hear about in the news stories.
My question is, am I one of the few 'lucky' ones, or is my story more the norm then the exception? Are things really as bad as I read about in the reports put out by the government and media sources? How are the rest of you doing?
Yes, I'd really like to know...

June employment numbers from the BLS are TERRIBLE!
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm
There were rumblings that the economy might have created upwards of 170,000 new jobs for June, as per the ADP employment report. That turned out not to be the case. They were off by a LOT!
June saw only 80,000 net new jobs created. To put that in perspective, the economy has to create upwards of 350,000 NEW jobs a month, JUST TO KEEP UP WITH POPULATION GROWTH. In other words, while those who DID have jobs are struggling to find new ones, those who are looking for the first time are REALLY having a tough time of it. And the situation only gets worse every month that goes by with sub-par job creation.
America needs a kickstart, and NOW!

Yes, it's still all about the economy. When you're grasping at straws, any little piece of good news helps
http://economywatch.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/05/12577589-layoffs-appear-to-ease-in-good-sign-for-job-market?lite
It would appear that the economy, for the time being, isn't getting any worse, and might actually be improving a bit. We'll see what the Friday employment numbers bring, but I'm betting they will show a MODEST improvement. But threats still lurk behind the shadows, and there's no way we're going to grow the economy enough to handle the employment demands of all the new prospective workers entering into the job market.
But every little bit helps...

Sluggish economy going the wrong way

Manufacturing? Down
Auto sales? Forecast to decline well into next year
Job growth? Sluggish, and getting weaker
European economies? In trouble
Consumer confidence? Down
Consumer spending? Down
And now we have a new expensive healthcare bureaucracy to look forward to starting next year, should our current President gets re-elected.
I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling all warm and fuzzy inside right now.
But hey, at least gas prices are dropping....

MASS LAYOFFS —MAY 2012
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/mmls.pdf
If I remember correctly, May wasn't a very good month for job creation. The economy added 69,000 NEW jobs. However, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, just over 130,000 people LOST their jobs in the same time frame. So, doesn't that mean there was actually a net LOSS of jobs for the month of may? That's what the numbers tell me.

The Debunking of the Myth of Obama as a Low Spender
http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/06/14/president-obama-the-biggest-government-spender-in-world-history/
For those who believe the story about Obama having NO hand in government spending in 2009. Yeah, it's simply not true. And yes, the Stimulus WAS Obama's and the Democrats in Congress's work. And now that Obama has SPENT more then any president in history, get ready next year for the TAX side of things to kick in. The Bush era tax cuts are scheduled to expire, and the taxes associated with Obamacare are set to kick in. [double wammy, so to speak]
Unless, of course, the Congress re-ups the Bush tax cuts, and the Supreme Court puts Obamacare out of it's (and our) misery.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-jobless-claims-increase-6000-to-386000-2012-06-14?link=MW_home_latest_news
It would seem the pundits were expecting a slight drop in first time claims for the first week of June. Nope! And, as circumstances would have it, the week before THAT showed claims revised higher.
What a shocker, huh?

Economic Confidence Declines Slightly in Past Week
Economic Confidence Declines Slightly in Past Week: Americans' confidence in the economy declined slightly to -20 in the week ending June 10, two weeks after tying a four-year best of -16. The decline was driven by Democrats, whose confidence dropped eight points over the previous week.

Should the government spend more money on stimulus?
The problem with government stimulus is that it has a tendency to just throw money at a problem, and hope that something good comes out of it. The $800 Billion stimulus package that Obama threw out there at the beginning of his term was nothing more then a pork barrel slush fund for his political friends in Congress. What happened to all those 'shovel ready' infrastructure projects that were discussed at the time? They never materialized. (if they ever even existed in the first place)
Even the bailout of GM was little more then a payoff to the autoworker's unions. GM could have accomplished the same turnabout had they just filed for bankruptcy, and it wouldn't have required a single dime of taxpayer money. So, this idea that President Obama 'saved' the auto industry is disingenuous at best. Were some auto worker jobs saved? Probably, but the numbers would have likely been insignificant. Ford didn't take a single penny of stimulus money, and it did (and still IS doing) just fine GM was in trouble because it wasn't competitive in the marketplace. Bailing them out with government money gave them a a chance to get their act together, but they still have to produce products that people want to buy. All the stimulus money in the world can't make that happen. It has to come from WITHIN the company.
You want to spur growth in the economy? Give companies an incentive to hire new employees. Right now, corporations are sitting on piles of cash, because they have NO idea what's going to happen with Obamacare. They have no clue as to what their healthcare costs per worker are going to be going into next year. They don't know what OTHER new taxes await them, should President Obama get re-elected. Also, given what's happening in Europe right now, there is risk that a MAJOR market for US goods and services could show an even greater slowdown then what has been seen so far. With that much uncertainty out there, there is NO way these companies are going to risk capital on expansion and new hires.
Mitigate some of that risk and uncertainty, and it's a pretty safe bet that US companies will loosen their purse strings, and start spending some of their pent up cash.

Good jobs ARE out there!
Okay, so you hear every day about how bad the job market is, both here in the United States and just about everywhere else in the world. However, there ARE jobs available out there. And we're not talking about burger flipping jobs, but GOOD paying career type jobs. $100k a year salary jobs. While it's true that employers aren't hiring at the same rate that they were 5 years ago, they ARE hiring.
The only question is, are YOU prepared to get out there and work your butt off to GET those jobs? Getting hired in today's job market is real work. You need to get up early every morning, and get your game face on. You need to network with friends, family and former colleagues. Ironically, if you already HAVE a job, it's actually a bit easier to get a new one, as employers look favorably at applicants who have weathered the economic downturn without becoming unemployed. However, if you ARE unemployed, you can do some things to show a perspective employer that you can jump back into a job without missing a beat.

- Stay busy, and document what you do every day, keeping a record of your schedule. Employers will appreciate it if you can prove you've not been slacking while out of the workforce.
- Stay involved in your industry, and up to date on the latest news and technologies out there. There are resources online you can utilize to keep your skills current, so that you can show a hiring manager that you're capable of stepping into a position and hitting the ground running from day one.
- Do your research! Know what the company does, and what part you'll play in the position you're applying for. Be prepared to answer the hiring manager when they ask you what you bring to the table and how your skills can benefit the company.
So, what are you waiting for?
GET OUT THERE!

No redeeming qualities in the May jobs report
http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/economy/230423-bleak-labor-report-finds-economy-added-69000-jobs-in-may
From the article:
" "There is nothing very redeeming about this report, it's pretty ugly all the way around," said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Analytics. "
That pretty much says it all....
Dow futures drop 200 point on jobs data

WAY fewer jobs created then expected. This is going to rock the markets today.

Veterans need help NOW!
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-24/veterans-face-ruin-awaiting-benefits-as-wounded-swamp-va.html
Whether you were for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or against them, there is NO reason that returning injured and disabled soldiers should have to wait as long as they do for VA benefits. If the US government can drop a throwaway $535 million loan onto Solyndra, as well at 13 OTHER bad loans to 'green' companies, it surely can find the money and manpower to get these veterans the financial resources they need to address their medical needs.
Not doing so really IS a crime...

The college myth
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/dr-bonnie-snyder/unemployment-college-graduates-_b_1536195.html
After reading the above story, I had to really shake my head. Growing up, I was told that I needed to get good grades and go to college so that I could get a good job. Funny thing is, my father never even graduated high school, and he managed to raise not one, but THREE families in his lifetime. Sure, the job he did was back breaking work, but he made enough money to keep a roof over my head (along with my mother and two brothers) and put food on the table every night. My brothers followed in his footsteps career wise, and they both now own a home, several cars, and are completely debt free. (no families as of yet, though)
As for me, I attended college myself, but never graduated. I can't really say it was a wasted education, because NO learning is a waste, but as it turned out, I managed to secure myself good paying jobs simply by networking through friends and family. Even if I HAD graduated, chances are I wouldn't have done a whole lot better for myself then what I've accomplished up to now. Barring some less then optimal life choices, I probably would be just as financially well off today as my siblings. But, that's another story...
Now, I'll grant you that if I had chosen a career field such as chemical engineering, or pharmacist, I DEFINITELY would have benefited from a college degree, as these graduates are in heavy demand. But, unless you plan on specializing in one of these high demand careers, or are going into an executive position, it would appear that having a college education isn't exactly mandatory.
A good network, and street smarts can serve you just as well.

Branding yourself to help get a job
In an age where hundreds of people are applying for every single decent new job opening, companies are using information they gather from social media sites more then ever to aid in their applicant selection process. What if you could USE that to your advantage? Sure, a computer program can be used to ferret out resumes that display the proper 'keywords', or to weed out those with too many spelling or grammatical errors. But, a HUMAN has to investigate your Facebook page and read your Tweets. With a little advice and effort, you can make your social media presence SHINE, and effectively create your own personal BRAND.
While your friends are posting Saturday afternoon pool party pictures, you can spruce up your profile and present images of yourself being presented with awards and accolades. When your buddies Tweet about their last hot date, you can engage in polite and informed conversations on professional topics with like minded people already in the workforce. Whether it be Google+, Linkedin, Blogger, or a myriad of other social media sites, creating a professional, intelligent presence for yourself will put you WAY ahead of the competition when it comes time to compete for a new job.
And, the BEST reason to brand yourself online? Because those who are competing with you for that next job are already DOING IT!

More ECB unconventional easing may be needed: IMF
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/more-ecb-unconventional-easing-may-be-needed-imf-2012-05-17
How much lower can you move interest rates?? Last time I looked, a 30 year home loan could be had for just under 3.8%. That's just AMAZING! I can remember when consumers were getting about that rate on their passbook savings accounts. Now you're lucky to get 1% on a money market account. There's only so much easing reserve banks can do. It's not that far above FREE now.

Arab countries have tried to boost female employment numbers by offering public sector jobs, but those have been cut back in resent times, just like everywhere else. So, Arab women are having a very tough time finding work.
