These are only a few examples.Now some different sorts of jobs for dogs:...

China Law On Term Employment Contracts.
2009-09-03 14:28:00 One of our clients is coming to the end of its contract term with the bulk of its China employees. They wrote Steve asking him some questions regarding fixed term employment contracts under Chinese law. Steve's reply is a made to order blog post, so here goes: Pursuant to Chinese law, you are permitted to enter into two fixed term contracts with an employee. The term of these contracts can be any fixed term that is agreed between the parties. Typically, in China, the term ranges from one to five years. At the end of the second fixed term contract, you have two choices. You can chose not to continue the employment relationship or you can chose to continue the employment relationship under an open term relationship. An open term relationship requires a written contract. This contract has no term. It terminates only under the following circumstances: 1) the employee voluntarily resigns, 2) the employee reaches retirement age or 3) the employee is terminated for "cause." Term...

Gomers and rednecks find employment and humor in Cash for Clunkers
2009-08-15 01:17:00 This is the umpteenth video showing a pair of hicks at a dealer charged with killing a cash for clunkers trade in. These two - if they vote at all - owe a vote of thanks to Obama and Nancy Pelosi for not only getting them gainful (if minimum wage) employment but also for providing a humorous element to their day. Only socialized medicine could make their lives perfect after this! Yes, another clunker bites the dust. How a Corvette ended up like this is anybody's guess. I'll probably have a nightmare tonight of myself waking up at a rest home in 40 years, with a pair of gomer/redneck male nurses pulling the plug on me. What a terrible way to go.

Soon India Will Have An Online National Employment Exchange - Does It Have
2009-07-07 11:54:00 Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee announced in budget 2009-’10 that India will have a centralized portal using which any job seeker can access the employment exchange of any city and can apply for the job. This project will be carried in public-private partnership which will collaborate to develop a national portal with common software to provide similar interface across various employment exchanges. Will it really benefit its target audience? Employment exchanges have been in existence for long and certain employment exchanges (eg. Delhi Employment exchange) are online for more than 5 years but none of them have considerable number of employers. Most of job seekers registered with employment exchanges are either searching for jobs in Government sectors or related to teaching, nursing, ITI or are unskilled labor. In Delhi employment exchange around 32 thousands job seekers posted resume for teaching jobs, around 30 thousand for ITI, drivers and more than 1.5 lakh are under...

Minnesota's Employment First Movement in Mental Health
2009-03-28 00:09:00 Editorial Note: I recently wrote this newsletter article for Minnesota APSE-The Network on Employment. It will be featured soon in our State Chapter's quarterly newsletter issue. However, I thought I would share it here with my blog readers as well. The State of Minnesota recently issued its annual report for 2008 to the State legislature concerning the employment status of Minnesotans living with serious mental illnesses (SMI). Although we have a long way to go, this status report is rich with data and supports the progress Minnesota is making in clearing pathways to the workforce for its residents with SMI.One of the most exciting trends identified in this 2008 report is Minnesota’s gradual transformation to evidence-based practice, supported employment (EBP-SE) to improve the quality of employment outcomes in the State. EBPs are specific service interventions documented to support success in recovery from SMI through clinical research trials.EBP-SE is one of six EBPs in psychi...

Customized Employment: Redefining Employment Strengths
2009-03-15 14:36:00 For the past three years, I have been writing here about the importance of integrated employment and using strengths-based strategies such as customized and supported employment to promote the employability of youth and adults with disabilities. I appreciate limitations of the written word as a means for communicating and educating the public about these principles. As the old Chinese proverb goes: ?A picture is worth a thousand words.?Well, about a week ago, I received an email from a colleague of mine that communicates about strengths-based employment practices in ways I could never accomplish with my keyboard. It's a short video about two artists who are outstanding ballet dancers. The dance movements of this couple are strikingly beautiful and powerful. And the amazing part of this presentation is that both of the individuals have visible disabilities that would appear on the surface to be illogical to achieving artistic and career success as dancers. I love this piece because ...

Job Losses Hit 25 Year High
2009-03-07 00:33:00 The U.S. unemployment rate rose to a 25-year high of 8.1 percent in February as employers, buckling under the strain of a severe recession, axed 651,000 jobs, government data showed on Friday. Adding to the gloom, a combined 161,000 more jobs were lost in January and December than previously believed, the U.S. Labor Department said in its monthly nonfarm payrolls report. Since the recession started in December 2007, the economy has shed 4.4 million jobs, with more than half of that number lost in the last four months alone. A total of 12.5 million people were unemployed in February, the Labor Department said.Consumer borrowing rose unexpectedly in January after three months of declines, but the small increase did not shake economists' views that borrowing will remain weak this year as mass layoffs persist amid the recession. The Federal Reserve said Friday that borrowing increased at an annual rate of $1.76 billion in the first month of the year. Economists expected borrowing to de...

Employment In China Is Job One. Make This Your Business.
2008-12-30 08:08:00 When I was in high school, I went to a bakery in Budapest, Hungary, during the Communist era. The bakery was tiny, the kind that in the United States would have at most two people working there. I was the only customer. I ordered from one woman, was instructed to go to the cash register by another woman, had my pastry wrapped by another woman, handed to me by a fourth woman, and paid a fifth woman. Now that's what I call full employment. China is not near to that yet, but foreign businesses would be wise not to underestimate how important it is to Chinese government functionaries that "their constituents have jobs. I thought about this last week when two of my firm's clients told me of their discussions with Chinese government people where the Chinese government people had stopped by to pretty much just make sure these two companies had no layoff plans. Both clients told me no threats of any kind were made, but both felt their standing with the government would be much bett...
