It's Here
After months of hard work and an unexpected amount of delays, the 2000 ERI is being shipped to those with the foresight to have pre-ordered it. John Sumser takes the time to give a rundown of what this year's Electronic Recruiting Index has to offer, and how it is an important resource to the Online Recruiting Industry.
Congressional Action
The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously voted to change the income limits on Social Security recipients without sacrificing any retirement benefits. The Senate plans to take up a similar measure soon. President Clinton has said he would sign the legislation.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) introduced legislation that would increase the number of H-1B visas by 45,000 this year. The Senate proposed a more expansive bill that would increase the number of visas by 80,000 per year for 3 years.
The Employment Situation: February 2000
Both the number of unemployed persons (5.8 million) and the unemployment rate (4.1 percent) were little changed in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.
