From the Bureau
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent in May, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 177.7. For the 12-month period ended in May, the CPI-U increased 3.6 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.5 percent in May, prior to seasonal adjustment. The May level of 174.4 was 3.7 percent higher than the index in May 2000.
Real average weekly earnings rose 0.2 percent from April to May after seasonal adjustment. A 0.3-percent gain in average hourly earnings and a 0.3-percent increase in average weekly hours were partly offset by a 0.3-percent rise in the CPI-W. Before adjustment for seasonal change and inflation, average weekly earnings were $486.67 in May 2001, compared with $468.20 a year earlier.

CareerExchange is now offering Careervoice technology to its clients. The technology enables job seekers to add their voice to their resume, allowing job seekers to truly differentiate themselves.
Solving the Skills Crisis
Solving the skills crisis may be as easy as just changing job titles. The eskills NTO (National Training Organisation), a taskforce charged with reducing the skills shortage in the UK, has spent more than 4 years developing the Skills Framework for the Internet Age. The organisation claims the skills shortage is being exaggerated, as companies are offering a confusing range of job titles with nobody knowing exactly what skills those companies are looking for. From Silicon.com.
******************************************************************************************
Resumes are not Candidates!
Finally, there's an online recruiter who understands the difference between resumes and candidates.
EmployOn has developed new technology to deliver qualified candidates to the employer's desktop…people who have signaled their interest in pursuing the job opportunity. Here's how it works. Using a proprietary concept-based search engine, EmployOn will search its resume database of over 2 million to identify the best matches.
An exclusive "find more like these" feature automatically refines the search. Then the employer contacts up to 100 potential candidates with one click, to identify people who are genuinely interested in the job. It's an enormous time saver, allowing employers to review only the resumes of people who have declared themselves active.
EmployOn, already the third largest database, is adding over 100,000 resumes a month. And if an employer cannot find the right candidate in the EmployOn database, the company will search the entire Web until the client is satisfied.
Check it out at www.employon.com and EmployOn's sister job site, www.grassisgreener.com.
