POPSPolitical Punch I thought our Country was in it's worth financial crisis since the '30s. I thought we were suppose to cut back on extravagances. All those people (the Administration, Congress & families, etc) sure are having fun with our money. (oh, I forgot, they're printing more) They all got raises and free health care coverage, pensions for life..... Talk about the haves/entitled; and then there is us.

POPSJob Survival Skills - Old Model no longer works
How bad is it for job seekers? It’s only bad if you are operating from the old model. The old model is gone forever... companies will be flatter, smaller, with fewer people doing more. Companies will stick to core competencies and outsource the rest. Management roles will be limited, hierarchy will be gone and instead there will be networks of people with very specific specialties (mostly consultants) doing the work on a linear team. It’s become a very Darwinian workplace. You must DIFFERENTIATE yourself, ADAPT to the environment, be SPEEDY to the food source, and use your INSTINCT to tell you what is happening around you. OK, then how good is it for job seekers? It’s tough out there but there are jobs... you need to package yourself as a portfolio of specific and transferable skills, have a plan, know the one thing you are best at, cross-train, raise your profile, get out there... don’t assume it’s all bad, keep learning (change leadership, cross generational/gender/cultural/

POPSWhat The Media Didn’t Tell You About The Unemployment Spike Congress is to blame. Last year Congressional Democrats (along with some Stockholm-Syndromed Republicans) passed the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, which started a phased hike of the minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $7.25. Free market economists warned them that this would increase unemployment – that rapid increases in unemployment compensation hit teens and minorities the hardest. But the class-warriors are running the people’s house now, and they would hear none of that, so they took to the floor, let loose the dogs of demagoguery, and saddled America’s pizza parlors, municipal swimming pools, house painting businesses and lawn mowing services with a huge cost increase.

To its credit, the newspaper provided a link on its Web site to the Phawker story. - Louis Hau

POPSBank or Loan Shark......You Decide! Banks have become the new "legal loan sharks" and are getting away with practices that thirty years ago might have landed perpetrators of these practices in jail. I urge y'all to read this entire piece as it is very informative. This is a major issue in our country because it gives us a false sense of success and financial security while so many of us wind up bankrupt or worse.
