Image
Continued Labor Market Strength Indicated as Fall Hiring Season Approaches
NEW YORK, September 1, 2005 - U.S. online job demand and online recruitment activity surged significantly higher in August over July, according to the latest findings of the Monster Employment Index. Nearly all industries as well as all occupations, regions and states measured strong growth in online job availability in August, as the Index jumped eight points from 134 in July 2005 to 142 in August, establishing a new all-time high. The record rise in August was a sharp rebound from the brief seasonal slowdown measured in July, demonstrating continued strength in U.S. online job demand at the outset of the fall hiring season. The Index is also up sharply - a total of 30 points - compared to August 2004, when it stood at 112.

Strategy + Business

Links to Amazon.com This is a "thought-leadership business magazine for senior business executives and the people who influence them." The magazine is published quarterly by Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the more famous strategy consulting firms. The articles in the summer 2005 issue are now available online, through a simple sign-up process. Two articles I found particularly interesting are "The Value of Corporate Values" - Booz Allen Hamilton/Aspen Institute survey of corporate behavior finds that leading companies are crafting a purpose-driven identity. The article is authored by Reggie Van Lee, a senior vice president with Booz Allen Hamilton in New York. Lisa Fabish, who is based in Booz Allen Hamilton’s McLean, Va., office, and Nancy McGaw, deputy director of the Aspen Institute’s Business and Society Program, which is based in New York. (continued)

Cafta Passes PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 04 August 2005

Highly controversial Cafta Agreement is signed into law.

Quoting Edmund L. Andrews in The New York Times, "Trade agreements have almost always been difficult to pass, because any reduction in barriers provokes intense opposition from unions and industries that would face new competition...

In economic terms, the Central American trade pact will have a negligible impact on the United States. About 80 percent of the exports from those countries to the United States were already duty-free, and the total trade volumes are tiny: American exports to the six countries - about $17 billion a year - are about equal to the annual global exports of New Jersey."

Why We Hate HR

Keith Hammonds, Fast Company
Keith Hammonds
In the August issue of Fast Company, Keith Hammonds has an excellent article on the state of HR; "In a knowledge economy, companies with the best talent win. And finding, nurturing, and developing that talent should be one of the most important tasks in a corporation. So why does human resources do such a bad job -- and how can we fix it?"
