| The Labor Force Participation Rate shows what percentage of people are working, looking for a job and not looking for a job. It is a better yardstick to measure the workforce in America than is the usually cited "unemployment rate" which doesn't count people who are so frustrated they stopped looking for a job. |

NFL star Michael Oher echoes Newt Gingrich: I didn’t see anybody going to work every day

| Newt Gingrich’s notion about “kid janitors” has been widely ridiculed my the media, but I’ve long defended his motives (which some have wrongly called racist), as well as the general premise of his argument. Sadly, this premise — that poor kids might benefit from having positive role models and gaining work experience — was largely overshadowed by the silly “kid janitor” imagery. Newt’s main point, however, deserves consideration. As Gingrich said, “Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works. So literally, they have no habit of showing up |

| INDIANAPOLIS -- With the controversial right-to-work legislation now law, protesters are moving ahead with plans to try to disrupt Sunday's Super Bowl. Gov.

The Case for a 21-Hour Work Week (Mega-Barf Warning)
Sunday 27th of May 2012 04:56:56 PM
Posted by admin / Under Work Boot
| To save the world -- or really to even just make our personal lives better -- we will need to work less. Time, like work, has become commodified, a recent legacy of industrial capitalism, where a controlled, 40-hour week in factories was necessary. Our behavior is totally out of step with human priorities and today’s economy. To lay the foundations for a "steady-state" economy -- one that can continue running sustainably forever -- a recent paper argues that it’s time for advanced developed countries transition to a normal 21-hour work week. |
NFL players oppose right-to-work in Indiana

| INDIANAPOLIS | As Indianapolis prepares to host the Super Bowl next month, the union of professional football players has condemned the push for an Indiana right-to-work law. The NFL Players Association said in a statement Friday that right-to-work "is a political ploy designed to destroy basic workers' rights." "It's the wrong priority for Indiana," the NFL players said. The NFLPA did not threaten to boycott the Super Bowl or take any other direct action should Indiana enact a right-to-work law. They reminded state lawmakers that success on the football field requires everyone to work together as a team. "The Super... |

| This morning, I was reading the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, and “got” something I've never gotten before. It had a very profound effect on me, and thought I'd pass it along. As the story goes, a man woke early in the morning to go hire workers for his vineyard. The first men he hired agreed to work for one penny per day. After those workers had been laboring for 3 hours, the man observed there were many still unemployed and standing around idle in the marketplace. He hires the men and tells them to work in his... |

The Beginning of the End of the 9-to-5 Workday?

Posted by admin / Under Work Boot
| The traditional eight-hour workday may soon be the exception rather than the rule. New evidence shows that we're reaching a tipping point in terms of workplace flexibility, with businesses seeing the wisdom of allowing employees -- young employees especially -- to work odd hours, telecommute, and otherwise tweak the usual 9-to-5 grind. One of the top 12 trends for 2012 as named by the communications firm Euro RSCG Worldwide is that employees in the Gen-Y or "millennial" demographic -- those born between roughly 1982 and 1993 -- are overturning the traditional workday. The Business and Professional Women's Foundation estimates that... |

| Recently, a good friend of mine gifted a book to me called “Slave”. The book is written by John MacArthur. Though it ultimately contains a Calvinist flavor which is a sorely faulty doctrine, the information and viewpoint the book has to offer on the chosen slavery of Christians is exceptional. I highly recommend the book. However, the purpose of this article is not to provide a book review. The objective is to demonstrate how the corruption of slavery has abounded in the world and how it is currently crippling nations. Examined in this article will be the Christian, slavery in... |

That’s why President Obama’s recent comments blasting the business community for being asleep at the switch have the rest of the country reeling. “We’ve been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — ‘Well, people would want to come here’ — and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new businesses into America,” he told the corporate chiefs who gathered at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. But with millions of Americans out of... |

Hot Air exclusive: Perry raises $17.1 million in Q3

| A source on the Rick Perry campaign tells Hot Air that the Texas governor conducted some Texas-size fundraising in the third quarter. Coming in just a little over halfway through, Perry raised $17.1 million. That number would put Perry somewhere between $4-6 million ahead of Mitt Romney’s rumored total for Q3, according to this report last week from the Boston Globe. It’s also likely to far outpace Herman Cain’s fundraising or that of the other Republicans currently in the race. The pace is even more impressive. Perry had 49 days in which to raise funds, rather than the full 92... |
