Ask Jack: work for free, birthdays and Labour Office of the Week

AOL Jobs Roger reader was looking for work.

Before firing, I held a senior position in a large company. In order to achieve another well-known company, I was asked to work for free for four months with the possibility of a job. Do you think it worth my time or the company is really benefits?

Ooh, when it finished, you might want to find and paint my apartment and wax my car. Of course I can pay nothing, but just think about the experience you get! First, Roger, are possible legal problems here; Breach Company Act Fair Labor Standards? (It may not have heard only on the books since 1938 so.) Anyway, it sounds like they are trying to take advantage of you. We did not even take into account that you are an experienced staff are to take. Companies have tried to make this garbage forever unpaid, and is eventually called in recent years.

And four months? Damn! If it's for a week, then it might be interesting would be if the opportunity was with a great company if you really wanted to work. Or if, what began as a contract position with no benefits, then it's not ideal, but at least you know where you were. Roger, my advice is, do not use for four months to find a job that - call me crazy - he actually for the work that you have to pay.

Meanwhile, Merri ...

Uggh. I just got an email (subject line: "Shhh Surprise"), there is a "small anniversary meeting" next to my office on Friday. They always seem to have one, and that makes me crazy. Yes, I know there's an episode of Seinfeld in it but it's true! Only my work, it's not a big pot and encourage someone I do not like it, to be honest. I do not want to sign the card, do not want to be wise for a gift. How can I prevent this?

Note to self: Rethinking Our bigwigs surprise party for Merri. I know, I know, it may be a cliché, and it often seems as if we are to think through the motions with the seemingly endless stream of birthday parties, office, baby shower, etc. But I prefer that people cling to our basic humanity in robotics monotony of the day. These meetings can have a good rest, and some people are really good friends with colleagues and enjoy the party with them. Of course, not everyone feels this way; Many like to have a clear demarcation between work and private life . That's great - you should not feel obligated to participate. How can e-mail to make an air battle for a walk when the party planned. Colleagues finally asking the hint and stop trying to sign the card, etc. You probably have a little fame, but I'll go out on a limb and guess you're okay with that.

Why would a 5.5 percent unemployment is not as great as it seems

WASHINGTON (AP) - The unemployment rate in the US It fell to a seven-year 5.5 percent - a level that is usually considered the sign of a healthy workforce. However, this figure is not as encouraging as it sounds.

While US employers added 295,000 jobs a solid in February, and the unemployment rate fell to 5.7 percent, declined primarily because many people have stopped looking for work and are not officially counted as unemployed, the government reported Friday. In addition, wage increases are almost stagnant.

These trends suggest that the labor market is improving rapidly and is not as healthy as it seems.

This complicates the task of the Federal Reserve, to detect when the economy enough to withstand higher interest rates strengthened. The Fed is considering raising interest rates from June

In a report dated Friday, the employers have produced 12 straight on monthly labor gains 200 000. This is the longest period 1994 to 1995 inclusive.

The United States can easily overshadow most other major economies. For example, the unemployment rate in the 19 countries sharing the euro 11.2 percent, double the US rate.

Solid gains in employment in the US seem convinced many investors that the Fed will soon raise interest rates in the short term it controls. Investors sold the ultra-safe Treasury Friday, a sign that many expect a rate hike. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury rose to 2.24 percent from 2.11 percent.

And they cast shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 276 points in afternoon trading.

An unemployment rate of 5.5 percent is generally consistent with what economists call "full employment" - like where the share of the unemployed is so low that the employers to increase wages to find enough qualified workers.

Companies and raise prices to pay for higher wages. And the Fed usually follows suit by increasing the reference interest rates in the short term slow the pace and prevent inflation.

But the scars of the Great Recession make more fluid and complicated process.

"5.5 percent did not mean what it was before," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. Full employment "is still a moving target, and moved up."

Since the recession ended in June 2009, the proportion of adults working or looking for work fell to a depth of 37 to 62.8 percent. It moved to the brand for most of last year.

Economists estimate that half of the decline due to the aging of the population is the baby boom generation retires.

But another factor is that many Americans discouraged about their job prospects and have stopped looking for. Unemployed not counted as unemployed if they are not actively seeking work.

This helped reduce the rate from its peak of 10 percent in October 2009 artificial.

Many economists also support the economy is not near full employment if wages do not increase. And average hourly wages rose only 3 cents to $ 24.78 in February from the previous month.

Megan Greene, chief economist at John Hancock Financial Services, noted that hourly wages fell in February from January in the sectors of construction and mining. These figures are higher than the unemployment rate declined in the spirit of the Fed President Janet Yellen said, and a rate hike might deter soon.

However, many economists expect the Fed the course, the increase in June or September.

The interest rates in the short term usually three percent or 4 percent if the economy at full employment. You are now at a record level of zero, and inflation is virtually nonexistent.

Tim Hopper, chief economist at TIAA-CREF, said that if unemployment continues to fall and inflation starts to pick up later this year, "the Fed is behind the curve, if they have not already started to raise interest rates."

Nearly 3.3 million Americans gain more paychecks than 12 months ago. This has stimulated consumer spending in the US and the global economy. Many big exporters like China, Germany and Japan are dependent on US spending by their growth.

The proceeds from the setting in February were widespread. Some industries, with the largest gains are mainly low-paid work: Hotels and restaurants added 60,000 jobs, 32,000 retailers.

But the best-paid areas have also been added jobs: professional and business services, including accountants, engineers and lawyers won 51,000, Construction and Financial Services 29 000 10 000th

Growth slowed in the last three months of last year at an annual rate of 2.2 percent after roaring with nearly 5 percent last spring and summer. But consumer spending rose, a sign demand remains strong.

Dave Long, CEO of Orange Theory Fitness said the improvement in the economy a boost to your workout studio, where fast-growing business. He opened the first five years ago in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company currently employs more than 200 locations in the United States

"As people have a little money ... opened their minds a bit more about the product you how to spend our," he said.

WASHINGTON - US employers to increase setting series in February, healthy by 295,000 jobs, the 12 consecutive monthly increase of over 200 000. It was the latest sign that the US economy is strengthening, surpassing other major economies in the world.

The unemployment rate in the US fell to 5.5 percent from 5.7 percent, the government Friday . But the rate decreased mainly because some unemployed people stopped looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed.

The gain of robust job in February was not enough to stimulate a lot of pay. The average hourly wages rose only 3 cents to $ 24.78 per hour. Average hourly wages by 2 per cent in the last 12 months hardly increases above inflation.

But at this time 3.3 million Americans have jobs. More jobs and gas prices have led many consumers to increase spending. The economic recovery that the stagnation savings compensated abroad and employers the confidence to hire.

The market for American jobs and the economy are simply the best students of the other great nations. Although Europe and Japan are showing signs of growth over the previous year, the economy remains weak. The unemployment rate in the euro currency union began to decline, but at 11.2 percent, almost twice as high as in the United States.

The US economy grew at an annual rate of 4.8 percent of vertigo in the spring and summer of last year, only to Many economists believe in a tepid pace of 2.2 percent in the last three months of 2014. slow growth with an annual rate of 2.5 recovered slightly during the quarter percent to around 3 percent.

However, economists are optimistic despite slowing growth of the setting. The slowdown in the fourth quarter was mainly because companies reduced their holdings of goods, which resulted in lower production factory.

But the company focus more on consumer demand to make decisions on the setting, and the demand during the quarter October-December was strong. Americans increased their spending over four years.

And if consumers save a lot of money cheaper gas, spending again in January pruned at a reasonable pace to find the lowest prices for.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, should the economy will grow by 3 percent this year, which that level would be reached in ten years the first time. It's fast enough to support the setting of about 250,000 per month, he said.
