50 years perfect attendance at work and marriage

When someone to keep something, it's Ron Kline. The Ohio native is to about to celebrate 50 years without a single sick day while working at the same company, according to a press release. He was more time with his wife Lois, and 11 children and 38 grandchildren married.

Kline began production Mansfield Plumbing Perrysville, Ohio January 30, 1965, when he was 20 to clean After 18 years as an inspector of the product as they came out of the oven to truck drivers, he moved n has never regretted it, and never get sick, even if the time for the holidays take on occasion. Kline has no plans for retirement.

"I love it," he said WJW-TV. "I want to keep busy. I want to stay active. I will not stand idly by. I always want to do things." He has coached softball and basketball school and may occasionally hunt.

"We wish we could clone Ron," said President Jim Mansfield Plumbing Morando said in the statement.

Consider making a typo is not serious? Think again. cost charges a single letter typo right someone £ 9,000,000 ($ 13,600,000) and completed a family, 124 years.

What was the typo offender in question? The letter "s".

In February 2009, the engineering firm of Wales Taylor & Sons has been learned that Companies House, secretary of state companies in the UK, the company recorded as a failure. He did not, but Taylor & Son, had a very different society.

The error has been resolved after three days, but the damage to Taylor & Sons has been made. Had the wrong information to be passed customers, suppliers and lenders. The orders were canceled, contracts have been lost, and trade credit has been withdrawn. Special losses Taylor and the best sons of the customer, Tata Steel, which was worth £ 400,000 ($ 607,000) a month, and a possible contract £ 3,000,000 ($ 4,550,000) for the Royal National Lifeboat Institute.

"We lost our credibility and our suppliers we thought were in liquidation. It was like a snowball effect," the former CEO and co-owner Philip Davison Sebry told The Telegraph .

Within two months, typos, Taylor & Sons went into administration (similar to Chapter 11). Davidson Sebry sued and won. Was on Tuesday the UK High Court found for the disappearance of the business government, taxpayers with a £ 9 million ($ 13.6 million) in the right bill left in charge.

There is a lack of costly strikes. Hopefully Companies House has a lot of money to hire a good team of editors.

There are plans words "Ask Me" In 8.1-Mile Run for a job

If a thousand words a picture, David Miller was able to send a resume to compact Strava, a company based in San Francisco that makes a monitoring system of the sport. He made a tour of the SOMA district of the city and provides a way of describing the words "hire me", reports ABC News.

Ask Jack: snow days, people with disabilities, and employment of the week

AOL Jobs Jesse reader says ...

Well, it happened again. We had a huge snowstorm, and I - who live more than an hour of work - in fact, very early. A colleague who shall remain nameless, who lives much closer, said he could not. This happens every time, and it's not fair. Why a day when I tried?

Jesse, I remember a quote I once heard: .. "Clair Clair is when you pigs" You will find a lot of stock in the world and by comparing our own behavior in the environment for the work Otherwise it losing game - is in Disappointment ever. I can only say fair to focus on you on the other; it can really have an impact. And it is a good worker - be on time and do your job. It is not always obvious, but in the long run, someone will notice. Oh, and you and your colleague , I think sleep better at night. (Well, you are, but just because you are tired of all these blades.)

Roseann looking for work. She explains ...

I've noticed recently that when applying and possibly filling, sex, national origin, veteran status, provide another way of identifying with any of a long list of disabilities, both physical and mental. This will be followed by a statement that the government set to encourage companies a person with disability, but the plaintiff does not have to prove that they have a disability. Since I have trouble finding work, I want to say that I have a disability. Do you think it would give me an edge in the job market?

Roseann, this can be an advantage in the "When nobody Terrible Terrible" market. Hey, I completely understand that to find a job - especially if a long and seemingly no end in sight - can really wear on you. They say that desperate times call for desperate measures, so that he could cross his mind to something you know in your heart to do evil and stupid (lying on an application, invest liquor store, etc.). I really do not want to answer specific question, except to say that - and you know - people with disabilities are often discriminated against by potential employers, so that this proposal is just try to give, fair treatment .

This is what I mean: If you have a job, there are pros and cons involved and politics, and evil. Yes, to be unemployed totally sucks. But look at it as an opportunity to make humanity again - it's the best it can be. You will find work, I promise. Why not be a good person, at the same time?

Unemployed and 55 normal forgery

You know them.

It's hidden from view in your circle of friends.

She is 55 years old, broken and tired of trying to save face. Pretending is normal outside.

For them, you do not know that their power was last cut for non-payment or she meets the criteria for food aid from the week. His clothes are always perfectly in good times, when they were still bought money.

A twinge of panic by

But if you pay attention, you'll see the sadness in their eyes, hear the note of panic in her voice command over anything else.

"Trial size" of the flood ends meet these days, buying pitcher $ 1.99 10oz. Did not you know detergent came in that size.

Loading it expensive restaurants, the two have always loved, but the control of mineral water with a hint of lemon, instead of the $ 12 glass of Chardonnay. It is economical in their menu selection, careful, count every penny in my head. It resists split the bill on the table, desserts, coffees and the second and third cup of wine do not drink fulfill manner.

Nest Egg: gone for so long

Vive Wireless, a gym and nail appointments. She discovered that she do her own hair.

No retirement savings without nest egg; for so long. No expensive to subscribe to equity and no man to save apartment.

Slowly month and pay the wages of their credit decimated. Call collectors constantly, reading from a script literally polished, the expressions of sympathy for his difficult situation - still necessary payment terms that can not keep.

Stops when the phone rings

Ask friends how anyone could so be privately educated the economic freefall. Finally, it is still as talented as ever and very intelligent. But the work is important today, especially in and outside concerts advice. I do not remember when she had a real job. He learned seem to get involved, but not just ringing the phone opportunities.

You do not remember exactly when it stopped.

But they came into the unknown world of old and used to be and is not safe because it belongs.

What he knows is that dozens of online application is known, may have disappeared into a black hole. She is convinced that entrepreneurs set to reject their algorithms online job recruitment to any person who obtained before 1995.

She wonders what became of it. So far, his health, but the pain remains. Or is your opinion?

Homeless women are often invisible to them, but work is evaluated with curious eyes and wondered if his stories began like you.

Time to stop counterfeiting than normal

Even if you is not poor, exactly, you can still downward mobility and feel ashamed. If yes, continue. Normal stop pretending. There are millions of women who, like us, and there is strength in our numbers.

Women in pensions are particularly affected by the crisis of the income security in old age in the United States. The gender pay gap costs $ 431,360 equity in women during their lifetime, according to the Center for American Progress. This deficit another $ 304,000, the women lose time from paid leave to spend a life for family members (according to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP) and hundreds of thousands more to care for children and the consequences, no matter economic disadvantage shows in lost wages, reduced pensions and benefits.

The picture is even worse if you are a woman of color: There are three in 10 people over 65 and those in poverty 4 live unmarried black women early in 10 single Hispanic older women, a rate more than double the white women, according to Women's Institute for Secure Retirement (WISER s).

But if we hide or rejection of our financial uncertainty, we do not take the active role we have to navigate through this phase of our lives. An action that I took really helped me and gave me both the perspective and peace of mind was a friend of the election, to talk and to completely clean my situation. It turned out that she was broke, too, and also worried about his future as I am. On my own It was a burden for me just say my truth.

For all of us, there are difficult decisions about where and how we live. The good news is that the market is starting to respond with more innovative and affordable housing and co-housing to continue to participate Baby Boomers and lead a meaningful life. I hope that manufacturers follow suit with value engineering products for low-income retirees.

So while our new rental housing can ba and the size of a postage stamp, is better than a small room in a dingy building with a strange smell and institutionalized hospital food lit limited.

Welcome to the new normal.

Doing these things you do not, if you still want to have to work next week

Crying filing lawsuits against
Getty

You start a new job. How can you avoid the wrong foot? Avoid following you, and you will have a job next week are more likely to:

Do not wear when you consult with his first friends to see if there are "right." I hope you have a good idea of the office dress. But some jobs very loose support space, and you might be tempted to wear something that is a little too casual. If you tried to call a friend to ask if he or she thinks you are going to get perfectly with wearing your new tank or ripped jeans, think again. It does not hurt to dress up a bit to start your new job. Plan ahead, as if there was an interview, so it feels comfortable and well-dressed from the start.

Do not be late. Perhaps there is a lot of traffic, but no excuse for being late to his first week. If you need to arrange to be ahead (even early) to ensure that you are on time, do it. Do not put yourself in a position, an apology for being late on the first day because they do not understand, provide traffic pattern. "The early bird catches the worm" is not just a banal cliché; It is a reminder that when it appears willing and ready to put in a position to be successful.

No flub their presentations. Think about "My name is ..." Make sure you can explain what you are and what you do! What does that remind you of? What do you want to be known? Make sure that you contact your beautiful smile and a firm handshake to work with the eyes. All this is the first impression that your colleagues at.

Remember the names of colleagues. The one who everyone that it not mean "not good with names." Maybe you're really not good with names. However, their work is always better before you install and forget the name of the head in embarrassment. Some tips: Do not use the names of the people as soon as they are introduced. Say: "Nice to meet you, Sara." If not catch the name or are not sure pronunciation, ask the person to repeat his name, and a real effort to learn. Take notes so that people remember it later. For example, write something to help with the name and face of a new colleague. Another trick? Make a connection with the person's name. If Tom is great, thinking, "Big Tom" and is more likely to get it to remember later.

Do not be lazy. If your employees are starting to make their choice in question when setting when empty their stuff taken care of in your office! Take a look around to see how other people organize their fields. If someone personal photos or check, keep your face free stuff. Do not leave food or enhance their personal belongings in the room from another.

Do not make a big decision without question. If you know the spirit, "better to ask forgiveness than permission", think again. If you are new to a job, ask before doing something meaningful for the first time. Do not take executive decisions that call not otherwise. Keep your questions to things that are curious and try to "Why are you so and not otherwise?" Save kinds of applications later

Place the cake to eat from the fridge. You know how people be possessive of their food! Anything that does not belong to you, or you could risk the wrath that could compromise his career Do not take.

Avoid loud phone conversations. In Workspaces "open" now so widespread, it is almost impossible to avoid the amazing personal calls from colleagues. If possible, send itself to, if it is absolutely necessary to connect with friends outside of work. Have all "strong speaker" can not be, not in the office.

No screw at the end of the day. Especially when a new job, not a clock watcher. It can not hurt to stay a little through its specified so that everyone can see that you are more interested in doing the work and are less interested in running for the door opening times.

Marcelle Yeager

If you are relatively new to the workforce and sits on tray in his job, you might be thinking, "I do not want to do this tedious work in the coming years for promoting" Do not worry! , There are things you can do to get to where you want to be faster. Although it will not happen overnight, you can use the normal time in their respective fields to shorten take an action now.

1. do a good job. This is important, no matter how much your work is to think after you or your education level. If you do well, even if you are overqualified or think it, that his work ethic and ethics is "low" saved. This is what you want, when an almost certain future employer required to verify their performance in their previous employer.

You must also willing to take on additional tasks and help a colleague overwhelmed from time to time. This shows the commitment and teamwork, a skill that most job descriptions space.

2. Find a mentor should formally. Many people assume a mentoring relationship pairs. Do not do it. You can also have more than one mentor. You might want to be one for each of the two areas you are considering transition. In order to collect multiple perspectives, to find a mentor in your organization and another outside the company. This should professionals whose opinion you respect and whose work be admired.

If you are not sure how familiar mentors, ask colleagues or representative office staff to different people. You can also join one of the groups of professional mentors who are in many cities.

3. Expand. What do you want to know more your skills? Nowadays, you do not have to spend too much money and time on an official diploma to get a new set of skills. From Udemy, Inc. to Coursera, there are several websites that offer free online courses. While there are certifications that almost all professions no license or an official certification of learning that can be applied at work need to cover.

You can view a list of the courses you are taking or self you create to do on your resume, as it shows the motivation and initiative. Which companies do not seek in an employee?

4. Promotion of itself. The managers usually do not have the time or desire for you to use when doing this kind of boss, congratulate yourself because it is rare to have.

Do not wait for others to sing their praises. You can use a non-abrasive manner easy to promote your good work through discussions to achieve with your boss to discuss their work in detail and discuss what to do to get to the next level. If your boss is not willing to commit to you, talk to HR and see what you can do to make the process forward.

5. Red. That's something to do, both inside and outside your organization. Add your company created short conversations with people in areas or levels of functional interest, including peers and senior colleagues. Prior to the meeting to develop a group of five or six pertinent questions. Take notes.

It is also beneficial for the implementation of the network while you have a job. Ask your friends and connections on LinkedIn with people whose background to connect intrigue, and create a list of questions for each person you meet. If you or that you can not make yourself, suggest a quick call or e-mail. If you can meet in person and the other person, is also capable of creating a coffee or lunch.

Another way is the professional and social events that bring people together in the types of careers that interest you. Individual interviews enable to engage in various of the impersonal nature of the technology level, and you can more meaningful and long-term relationships to develop the way. This could mean a future reference for a job, if you really clicked with the person.

Delivery: There are a variety of ways to move your career goal quickly. Sitting and waiting for the praise and promotions is not an option. Follow these steps to help you reach your goals faster. You can also discover new possibilities and interests along the way.

Workers in New Boomerang: reinstated pensioner

Businessman with a laptop on the road

By Chris Farrell

You've probably heard of boomerang kids who heard back at home by their parents in their 20s (maybe you have one). But there is a growing group of boomerangers which is usually at 60: retirees who work part-time or contract basis for the same employer, the date return full-time jobs.

If you are looking for work in retirement, you may want to consider avoiding the search for employment and becoming.

Employer to rehire retirees

Set a handful of employers formal programs to remove again. One of the Aerospace Corp., technical analysis and evaluation of the national security programs and commercial space that offers so-called casual retirement. Approximately 3,700 employees of the company are mainly engineers, scientists and technicians, as well as aerospace is pleased some who bring in retirement.

"With all the knowledge that these people who we can to make them for their experience," says Lazar Charlotte Morrison, vice president of human resources for the aerospace industry, in El Segundo, California. "Casual employees are part of our culture."

The 300 employees eventual Aerospace (love that word, right?) You can store up to 1,000 hours per year and generate more profit (enterprise retirees and to obtain health insurance). Most earn the salary they did before their status as part-time course in proportion.

Why Aerospace Corp. back "Casuals"

The "casual" program allows you to manage Aerospace has a kind of personnel system just-in-time. "So we can keep people ready when we need it," says Lazar Morrison.

Ronald Thompson casuals joined Aerospace in 2002 after his retirement at the age of 64, had for the company full-time working since 1964 to support program management, systems engineering, systems integration and testing and operations to the Department of Defense. "This is a very good way to make the transition to retirement," he said. "We have both the physical and mental stimulation to keep you young."

Thompson, on the border of 1,000 hours for the first few years Now in his mid-70s, he is reduced to about 10 hours per week, most employees on time mentoring young aerospace industry. I asked if he planned to stop working Thompson. "I think my action is when people do not listen to me," he laughs. "It's going to happen."

At MITRE Corporation, an approximately 400 of his 7,400 employees nonprofit that research and development centers nationwide "called part-time" on a voluntary retirement program operates funded. These workers retire progressive flexible part-time money from pension plan MITRE while working.

Why some employers do not have to adjust programs again

Why run most employers do aerospace and MITRE do?

On the one hand a considerable investment of resources is needed to create a program for older retirees. So those who can pay are those with professionals that provide customers with expertise.

On the other hand, some employers are reluctant prisoner of the work and the complex tax rules. For example, the IRS can usually requires companies with pension plans to delay reinstatement retired for at least six months after they left.

But experts believe that the benefits of the boomerang can a lot of sense for retirees and employers, where they are working full time.

"I think it's very logical far to return to work, so there is a lot of potential for growth if done easier," says Anna Rappaport, half a century Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and the head of his own company Anna Rappaport advice. "To clarify the legal issues and made easier."

Bring outsourcing retired

More and more companies are outsourcing the task to some of its retirees. The independent consultancy Your Core, created by Procter & Gamble and Eli Lilly, acts as a matchmaker between companies that are experts parachute and try urgent "unretirees" qualifying income and want a challenging time informally. Your core has more than 8,000 experts in their network; 65 percent with advanced degrees.

Blue Cross / Blue Shield of America "Blue Bring Back" program allows administrators to a former employee of Retired ask whether a project or temporary assignment requires someone who knows the process and corporate culture. Kelly Outsourcing and Consulting Group manages the program.

Tim driver, conductor RetirementJobs.com, plans to enter the business so that it's easier for employers, pensioners adjust again. Their research shows that this type of program works best for companies that difficult to find an easy access to unique talents and skills must flexible as insurance adjusters plans. When a storm going on, the head, the insurers have the trained group of property damage, the knowledge of their sinister political process are quick to send.

"It's an interesting approach for companies, people want to have available, but not in his books [full-time employees]," he said.

The option to participate in a formal agreement of outsourcing is probably the aging of the baby boomers and their embrace to increase later retirement. Meanwhile, this kind of work is the treatment "will be mostly ad hoc," says David DeLong, president of the consulting firm strategies intelligent workforce.

How do you get withdrawn in retirement

How can you get a part time job with his former employer retirement?

Delong recommended to address the problem while you are at work. (My father always said that six months after leaving an employer, people start to forget who developed and understand how to get along without you.)

"Get the idea with the boss," Drilon said. "Do not assume that they would not be interested in part-time on them. The worst thing they can do is" "say." No

Accept employment with his former employer retirement later can be a win-win for you and your boss once and future. Finally you have the knowledge and skills to do the job, and the employer knows who you are and what you can do.

I suspect that this scheme to flexible become a boomerang most boomers back to postpone retirement.

America now has a '50 Shades of Grey Teddy Bear '

NECN

If you are 50 Shades of Grey deductible think the first things that come to mind are probably handcuffs, bondage, and the image of someone trying awkwardly while hiding your wallet your trip.

Website of the company sold the bear as an object of Valentine's Day, with lines like "Day Valentine domination" and "You can not stop loving to present [bear]." So you can say, "The Bear" in this sentence is a reference to the real bear. This is not an indication of something else.

"Like anything, do not think this is a product for everyone," Shouldice said. "This is a unique product, and is geared toward adults."

After NECN, Vermont Teddy Bear before called with jacketed "Crazy for You Bear" into being reviewed nine years ago, he was dressed in a straitjacket and was seen by some as insensitive to the mentally ill. However, it was a sales success for the company.

The Christian Grizzly works so well, remains to be seen; the item sells for the low price of $ 89.99. For this price, maybe you should be able to cope with body and soul.

The personnel director of my company is very friendly and asked me to be his "friend" on Facebook. While it is nice and friendly, seems like a bad idea. I like the boundaries between work and personal social communication. How can I reject me without sounding rude?

Before you even finish reading this sentence, you open a new window and link to it. Ah yes, the good old LinkedIn, whose motto should be "You're not going to see my friend, but not its existence." Now let's take a moment to himself mercy on the poor human resource professionals in the world. No one wants to be your friend on social networks, because obviously spying on you and want to get fired. (The press room even had a subplot about it.)

I think the best choice here is honesty: explain e-mail that you really appreciate the friend request, but you are trying to put some limits . Anyone should be to some modern world hears able to be this view. And assuming that it is very nice and friendly, in the same email, you may indicate that certainly mitigate meeting for lunch one day the blow. Then you have really become friends and accept it on Facebook, and was then released.

My boss told me he only said, a "half-decent job, maybe even a good job" wants to make in my next project. Way bar to make nice and low. Poor, Comin 'Right Up! How should I respond?

Why suddenly I remembered these ads on the rate of medium-speed connection? Anyway, I think, more to do with it is your boss or with a particular customer, rather than specifically directed to you. Instead of trying to hit out of the park in each project, some patterns only focus on the old resources, time and money. And small customers are often considered unworthy of a commodity.

What can you do as a caring zipper machines, the company? Turn on the things below average? I would not recommend it; You have to protect your own reputation. That is, in any case, keep in mind the boss comments on this and future projects meet the deadline, and if you have no control over project costs without overspending. He has nothing to complain about, and you will have the satisfaction of producing quality work. And everyone is happy and smiling flutter at work by now and monkeys in my pants.

Judy asks:

I began last year to work for me. So far so good, but I have a question. I did some work in December, but I have not received the check until this month. In what year did I get this income on my taxes in 2014 or 2015?

Can I get a first round of applause for independent person who will be honest with your taxes? A grateful nation salutes. Now the IRS is very clear on this issue, but it depends on if you produce what is known as the method of cash or known accrual basis. Containing According to the IRS, along with the cash method "in your gross income all the games actual income or [in] its fiscal year. "So in your case, Judy, but in order that income in 2015. Under the accrual accounting report income when it is earned, not when it is received, please report. Both methods apply to self-employed persons who speak their services, not products, but you might want to a tax professional. Because if I say no more, I'll talk to you in the same place where monkeys flew in the previous question.

5 Steps to Success Networking for Introverts

Colleagues talking in the office Group

Marcelle Yeager

While there are people who like networking and get a lot of energy from the interaction with the audience, many find difficult and drainage. Traditional Red is not for everyone.

However, networking is essential in today's job market. Experts estimate that more than half of all jobs found through networking and word of mouth. The old method of job search can sit comfortably at the computer sending resumes and cover letters that will not go far.

Fortunately for introverts, there are many ways to connect with. Some may be a little out of your comfort zone to take, but it's not a bad thing. Do you think that these skills could develop useful in future employment.

1. Start from a position of strength. If you are employed, it is much easier to promote and talk about what you do. If a network of employees, exudes confidence. Start is the structure of your network. And if it is possible to cater for your interest and new contacts in your business, start with them.

2. Improve your elevator speech. It is a difficult thing for anyone to grow, so I do not think you are alone, if you are not satisfied with the back. Your speech should over time as you practice more you know your areas of professional interest.

The aim is to consult with your listeners in 30 seconds or less together why he or she wants, in order to get to know you better. Keep it simple. Briefly explain what you are doing, where you are going and why. If all goes well, you could end up with a referral.

3. Start. In your comfort zone. People tend to immediately think of major events as unique networking opportunities However, it is not only one type of network.

It may in large or small groups or individually occur, and not even have to be in person - which via phone, email, Skype or FaceTime. A good place to start is with a brief introduction to e-mails and a question. Figure out what you want your interaction with that person. Do you want to know how they have in their territory or as it is their business?

4. Be specific with your wishes. Think about what information you. Able by the person to be extracted with networking I'm not asking you to send your resume to the Human Resources department or help you to get a job.

Just before the start of an e-mail, phone or in person meeting, and this kind of advice would you want to say. Ask questions will focus on you and you can learn a lot about the other person.

5. Create new relationships to help others achieve their goals. "You get what you give" extends the professional world. If you need help with your work colleagues will probably help some point. If you ask for the junior staff available to students at his alma mater, or others who come and try his leadership, the better they will be able to help in some unknown way in the future. Pay It Forward, and probably see returns even if you do not expect.

Determine what type of network is more convenient for you trust. If you feel comfortable, it is not likely going to make a good impression. Use time you relaxed that the opportunities for dialogue with people feel about their career. This could be one of a work or social events. Or you may find it easier to start on the computer, via social networks or e-mail.

Be available to others when they ask for help. This will not only help you gain confidence in your abilities, but also helps to establish contact and trust between people who can return the favor in the future.

Whatever method you choose, the important thing is that you can define clearly and precisely what you ask of the person. You may ask questions so that you feel comfortable with it, or they may want a specific requirement for consultation with your next career move.

Networking is not just for the more out of themselves. Whatever your preferred style of engagement make it work for you.

Therefore, we remain extremely low inflation, while employment growth increases

WASHINGTON (AP) - No explained in Econ 101.

Every month is US employment rises and unemployment falls. Finally, sales and inflation thresholds expects to start the reaction.

It happens.

Last month, employers added 252,000 jobs healthy - ending the best year of adjustment since 1999 - and the unemployment rate fell to 5.6 percent from 5.8 percent. However, inflation can not even reach the target rate of 2 percent of the US Federal Reserve. And the wages barely moves. In December, the average hourly wages actually fell.

Economists have struggled to explain the phenomenon.

"I may be a plausible theoretical or empirical explanation of why the hourly wages would be reduced to nine months can not find jobs, we have added at a rapid pace," said Patrick O'Keefe, chief economist at consultancy firm CohnReznick.

Normally, this low unemployment rate is the central bank raised its benchmark rate on doping to prevent inflation and overheating of the economy. Not this time. Although historically low rates the Fed helped support the economy since the financial crisis of 2008, these low prices have not complied with the other target, wages and inflation to normal levels.

While inflation remains below their target, the Fed can print an interest rate increase over the middle of the year delay the feeling that most economists forecasting a rise. Thanks in part to the decline in oil prices, many economists this year are also considering less than inflation in 2014th

If the US economy experienced a similar setting last tour in 1999, the average wages by 3.6 percent from 1.6 percent last year, said the government.

He explains the continued strong employment growth without inflation? Here are four key factors:

PERSISTENT damage RECESSION

Although the unemployment rate is close to a healthy level, many other labor market policies remain below.

There are still 6.8 million people working part-time who can not find full-time employment, compared to 4.1 million before the recession. Each of these potentially competing unemployed to work full-time, thus maintaining the lowest wages.

And there are 2.3 million people who have been looking for work, some of them because they grew discouraged about their prospects. Others have decided to return to school or in the custody of the parents. It is against 1.3 million before the recession.

And a broader gauge of unemployment, which officially unemployed and involuntary part-time and those who have stopped that includes, is 11.1 percent. This number has improved since the recession, but not as much as the official unemployment rate.

Jennifer Durham, vice president of Checkers chain of fast food restaurants 800 so that it plans to add 50-60 restaurants this year. Everyone should employ 25 to 30 people.

Checkers great pressure, but not face to increase to wages for the workers. "There is no shortage of candidates," Durham said.

The end of unemployment benefits has expired in the long run, to provide up to 99 weeks of aid until a year ago, can also help to reduce wages, said Daniel Alpert, managing director of Westwood Capital, said.

This is because some unemployed had to take probably lower paying jobs. Not have jobs in retail or food at or near the minimum lot more purchasing power than the unemployment benefit, Alpert said. This means that new jobs will not increase inflation much more if the workers can not afford much more than they did when they were unemployed spend.

Blame ROBOT

What in the automotive industry shows a lot about the way the economy has changed - and why the unemployment rate to 5.6 percent, almost normal is not igniting wages.

New car sales last year reached 16.5 million, the best result since 2006. But the gains are not recover all Automotive jobs lost to the recession - let alone to expand employment in the industry over the past eight years. The number of persons employed in the automobile has about 160,000 shy pre-recession levels more than 1,000,000.

The reason is that companies are afraid to go back in time, when she had the capacity of the plant as well. They are so squeezed more power with less capacity. Coming out of the recession, car reconfigured factories and robots added to produce vehicles with low plants and fewer workers.

In addition, the United Auto Workers union agreed to help pay cuts in an effort to General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. New hires began, around $ 16 per hour, about half of what workers earn long term.

About a quarter of the factory workers in Detroit are now the starting salary. Even longtime UAW workers had no hourly wage increase since 2007, there was an annual monitoring of sharing profits corresponding to about $ 4 per hour.

Similar trends have been developed in other plants and other industries. O'Keefe is, for example, that retailers sell more goods than before the recession, but still employ fewer workers.

Although recruitment in the most profitable industries in many cases are lagged wages. The average salary for truck manufacturers rose by only 0.7 percent last year, less than half the average for the economy. Pay the transport and storage of employees increased by 0.9 percent.

CHECK DEMOGRAPHICS

Since the beginning of the season: May graduation, graduate employers provide additional schools 1670000 - nearly 60 percent of all jobs in the past year included. Last year, the number between 25 and 34 years, employment rose a solid 2.5 percent.

Since recruitment occurred proportional appreciated in recent months, Wells Fargo chief economist John Silvia, that wages could be held down because many entry level workers to find low wages, work. His brief influx of average wages, while reflecting the growing workforce.

"Since we hired a lot of people in the last two or three months, in a large number of new workers are not paid and experienced workers will bring you," Silvia said.

Dig a little deeper and find other charges on grounds of age: The number of employees grew over 55 years an impressive 3.4 percent last year. But people can not benefit from increases in net wages before your salary potential years and probably maxed. The number of employees from 35 to 54 - the group most likely with the maximum payout delay age group - by less than 1 percentage point increase in the last year.

Reality Bites GLOBAL

No matter what the US economy to improve, American workers are still billions of skills of workers in China, India, Eastern Europe and other countries that were not part of the global economy, a decade or two.

Most of these economies and Japan and the rest of Europe, not to stumble competition is about jobs. The weak growth lowered interest rates abroad and inflation - and thus tempered wage growth - in many US competitors. This means that American workers compete continuous low wages.

Meanwhile, the dollar will rise relative to other currencies, making it the most expensive US products overseas. This limits the ability of US workers to get a higher wage. Many US companies to move operations overseas.

O'Keefe notes that this trend is less and less skilled workers in the United States. Software engineers, researchers and legal workers from the IT department to compete with lower-paid workers abroad.
