Number of Long-Term Unemployed ‘Unprecedented’ Under Obama
From The Freebeacon:
The economy has seen an “unprecedented” number of long-term unemployed under the Obama administration, according to a liberal think tank, and economists say plans pursued by Democrats in Washington are unlikely to curb the problem.
Nearly 5 million workers are classified as long-term unemployed, while 900,000 more have stopped looking for work altogether, according to a new series of reports issued by the Urban Institute.
Three percent of the labor force has been out of work for more than six months, an improvement of only one percentage point since unemployment spiked in October 2009, according to the study.

Firm uses mushrooms to make eco-friendly packaging
This will make all the eco-nuts feel warm and fuzzy.
From usatoday.com

The blocks are used to cushion products ranging from Dell servers to furniture for Crate and Barrel.
From usatoday.com
Turns out that mushrooms — great in soups and salads — also make decent packaging material. Mushrooms are a key ingredient in pale, soft blocks produced by the thousands in an upstate New York plant. The blocks are used to cushion products ranging from Dell servers to furniture for Crate and Barrel.
More precisely, the packaging blocks are made with mycelium — the hidden "roots" of the mushroom that usually thread beneath soil or wood. Two former mechanical engineering and design students in their 20s, Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre, figured out how to grow those cottony filaments in a way that binds together seed husks or other agricultural byproducts into packaging shapes.
Look, capitalism works if government gets the hell out of the way. Manufacturers will go green if they can make a buck. "We the people" know what is best for us, we are not children and our Founding Fathers knew that. So back off and let us live free!!

IT Field - Another Job Americans Won’t Do!
Cross posted from Common Sense America
It seems that our Congress just can’t get rid of American jobs fast enough. First they outsourced them, then they allowed millions of cheap laborers to illegally cross our borders, and now we have the H-1B visa.
We’ve sat idly by while our elected officials have given landscaping, construction, roofing, auto body, restaurant, hotel, trucking, manufacturing, meat packing, warehousing, and many other jobs to illegal foreigners that will work for half the price that Americans need to survive. The last job to be given away was the trucking industry as this administration has decided to open the border to Mexican trucks.
Now, the field of information technology is being given away. Apparently, Americans don’t want to do this job either. The Hartford Courant has an interesting op/ed by Froma Harrop:
The master plan, it seems, is to move perhaps 40 million high-skill American jobs to other countries. U.S. workers have not been consulted.
Princeton economist Alan Blinder predicts that these choice jobs could be lost in a mere decade or two. We speak of computer programming, bookkeeping, graphic design and other careers once thought firmly planted in American soil. For perspective, 40 million is more than twice the total number of people now employed in manufacturing.
And just how are they going to achieve this “master plan”?
We refer to the H-1B visa program, which allows educated foreigners to work in the United States, usually for three years. Many in Congress want to nearly double the number of H-1B visas, to 115,000 a year.
While Congress will argue that the H-1B visas bring talent to America, there is another side to this story:
Ron Hira has studied the dark side of the H-1B program. A professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology, he notes that the top applicants for visas are outsourcing companies, such as Wipro Technologies of India and Bermuda-based Accenture.
The companies bring recruits in from, say, India to learn about American business. After three years here, the workers go home better able to interact with their U.S. customers.
In other cases, companies ask their U.S. employees to train H-1B workers who then replace them at lower pay. “This is euphemistically called, ‘knowledge transfer,’” says Hira. “I call it, ‘knowledge extraction.’”
Yes, many Americans have had the insulting experience of having to train their replacements. And many more Americans are seeing our government giving our careers and our livelihoods, to cheap foreign labor. Ms. Harrop ends her op/ed with this warning:
This vision for a competitive America seems to be a few rich U.S. executives commandeering armies of foreign workers. They don’t have to train their domestic workforce. They don’t have to raise pay to American standards.
A provision for revving up the H-1B program is contained in the immigration bill that last year passed the Senate. The co-sponsors, Democrat Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts and Republican John McCain of Arizona have contended that their legislation requires employers to search for U.S. workers first. It does not.
Skilled U.S. workers had better start looking out for their interests. No one else is.
If you are not contacting your elected officials, you cannot complain if your job is next.

Wal-Mart's hourly employees receive bonuses
Evil Walmart...
From the Houston Chronicle:
Yeah, Johnny "beef Cake" Edwards who would want to work at Walmart?
I hate that they do business with China, but that is the government's fault, not Walmart's. Our government gave china favored nation status, not Walmart. Walmart is one of those jobs, in my neck of the woods, uneducated people compete for. They pay well, they have good working conditions, they provide prescription plans and health plans if you are willing to contribute and BONUSES!
Walmart also saves the average American family about 2000.00/yr. Walmart is a great example of how capitalism works.
From the Houston Chronicle:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has awarded bonuses totaling more than a half-billion dollars to more than half the giant retailer's hourly employees in the U.S., the company said today.
Wal-Mart, which refers to its employees as "associates," said in a news release announcing the bonuses that it was designating today as Associate Celebration Day. It also announced new programs intended to recognize service and performance.
The company said it has awarded more than $529.8 million in bonuses to a total of 813,759 Wal-Mart store and Sam's Club hourly workers in the U.S.
The company employs about 1.3 million people in the U.S.
The release did not specify how the bonuses were allocated.
The company has previously provided extra money to workers once a year through a program that provided what it calls "My$hare" bonuses, allocated on the basis of store performance. Those bonuses will now be distributed quarterly, the release said, "to reward performance on a more frequent basis."
Among the new programs outlined in the announcement are what the company called "Servant Leadership" bonuses, recognizing employees of 20 years or more with an extra week of pay. More than 13,400 employees have been with the company 20 years or longer, the company said.
Also announced as a new program was the "Customer Champion" award, providing cash bonuses to employees "who go above and beyond in providing excellent customer service." That program will be launched during the summer, the company said.
