You Should Know
Australia:
Mature aged workforce put on back burner
We will on average live longer, work longer and retire later, but Australian employers are not particularly interested in mature-aged workers, a study has found. Australia's population, like that of most developed countries, is ageing as a result of sustained low fertility and increasing life expectancy. According to the latest figures by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) the proportion of the population 65 years and over is projected to rise to between 27 per cent and 30 per cent by 2051.

Study: Two of the 10 Best U.S. Jobs are in Tech
A study released April 12 ranked software engineers as having the best jobs in the United States, citing their use in "virtually every part of the economy." With an average pay of $80,500 and strong potential for creativity, 46 percent annual growth rate, and 44,800 annual job openings, the position received extra marks for the ability to telecommute. Its stress and flexibility levels were considered almost ideal, while its lowest marks were in ease of entry. Number seven in the top 10 was another technology sector job: computer IT analyst. The position had an average salary of $83,500, a 10-year growth rate of 36 percent and 67,300 annual job openings on average. (Channel Insider)



Software-as-a-Service Myths
A consultant explains why this new breed of Web-based software has staying power
For years, organizations of all sizes have suffered the hassles and unexpected costs that accompany deploying and maintaining a variety of traditional software applications that, ironically, were intended to make them more productive. Now a new breed of Web-based services are pushing legacy applications aside and finally giving users the business benefits they've been seeking. (BusinessWeek)










Libya:
National Employment Fund to pay monthly allowance to job seekers
The Secretariat of the General People's Committee decided in its 13th ordinary meeting held in Tripoli Sunday to establish a National Employment Fund and to dispense monthly grants to new graduate job seekers. The Fund which the Secretariat decided to set up would enable to find appropriate and productive work opportunities for job seekers, including university and vocational training graduates, and employment surplus at public bodies, and those wanting to turn to production fields, and those who lost their jobs as a result of administrative or economic reasons, through direct loans from the Fund or from the various financing institutions. (LJBC)



 

Saudi Arabia:
No Shortage of Jobs — Just Job-Seekers
It may be time for young Saudis who lament the lack of jobs to take a good look around and learn a lesson from foreign workers who seem to be busy and working all the time. Al-Riyadh daily pointed out that while many young Saudis complain about the lack of opportunities for employment and consider their plight sitting in coffee shops before returning to their parents' homes to watch television late into the night and then sleep late into the morning hours, many young foreign workers are rising early, perhaps washing a car or two before laboring all day at a job and cleaning a house or two before calling it quits — no coffee house, no television and no late nights. Even if the foreign worker loses his job, he keeps busy, perhaps selling bottles of water at a busy intersection on a hot, summer day or selling car accessories, toys or flowers. (Arab News)


Scotland:
Jobs market 'continues to thrive'
Demand for permanent posts in Scotland has risen again The jobs market in Scotland has seen a three-year high in demand for permanent posts, according to a report. The Bank of Scotland Labour Market Report for March showed the country's growth outstripped the UK level for the 10th consecutive month. (BBC)




US:
Some provisions of immigration measure seen as unworkable
The sweeping immigration bill the Senate will tackle upon its return to Washington next week has been hailed as a compromise that marries tough border enforcement with humane treatment of illegal immigrants. Yet it contains provisions that immigration experts and even many lawmakers say are highly unrealistic, and that were inserted largely to placate tough-on-immigration senators and win enough support for passage. Roughly 12 million illegal immigrants would have to pass background checks before receiving immigration papers under the bill. But a government bureaucracy already struggling with its workload would perform the checks, and experts say these new demands would overwhelm the system. (Chicago Tribune)


Supreme Court Takes Up Workplace Discrimination
The Supreme Court will hear a case that could affect the balance of power between the government and private workplaces nationwide. The high court will hear arguments regarding what legal standard should be used to evaluate changes made by supervisors following a discrimination complaint by an employee. Businesses say they'll be hurt if justices create a class of employees who can't be disciplined or transferred after filing a complaint, but labor unions and women's groups say workers should not be pressured to remain silent with threats of schedule changes or transfers. (WLNS)






Steps can be taken to reduce workplace rudeness
From ethnic slurs to personal ridicule to sullen silences, the workplace isn't what anyone would call a warm and fuzzy place these days. Workers insult one another about gender, race, age, you name it. And when they're not hurling invectives at one another, they're polishing their other rudeness skills, failing to say "please" or "thank you" or even "good morning." (Courier Post)


Drug screening can make the workplace safer
Drug screening programs may reduce workplace accidents and disruptions in employee productivity, but instituting these programs isn't one-size-fits-all. Businesses have many options to choose from, both in testing and policy, while ensuring they meet state guidelines and discourage litigation. To work properly, the testing must be combined with employee education and clear corporate policies. (South Florida Business Journal)


Not everyone would welcome pay increases
The prevailing view on Wall Street is that investors can no longer count on consumers to do the heavy lifting for the economy, because they are laden with debt, pressured by high energy costs, and can't use their home equity as an ATM anymore. With home sales projected to drop 8 percent this year, homeowners are expected to feel poorer as their neighbors have to sell their houses at reduced prices. So the expectation is that Americans will be less inclined to go shopping. Fund managers have been planning accordingly--slashing their exposure to stocks that depend on consumer buying. For example, Merrill Lynch small-cap strategist Satya Pradhuman observed recently that growth managers had assumed a "more defensive stance against the consumer," cutting their exposure to consumer discretionary stocks about 4 percent below the quantity in the Standard & Poor's 500 index. (Chicago Tribune)


Immigration Enforcement's Shift in the Workplace
Case of Md. Restaurateurs Reflects Use of Criminal Investigations, Rather Than Fines, Against Employers
Serious criminal charges once typically reserved for drug traffickers and organized-crime figures are increasingly being used to target businesses that employ illegal immigrants, a strategy highlighted last week when three Maryland restaurateurs pleaded guilty to federal offenses and agreed to forfeit more than $1 million in cash and property. The little-publicized approach, which can include charging such employers with money laundering and seizing their assets, amounts to a strategic shift in the enforcement of immigration law in the workplace. (Washington Post)


Seniors Must Adapt to New Technologies
Older workers who have either continually been in the labor force or who have returned after their formal retirement must often adapt to the ever-changing landscapes of their industries. Oftentimes, this involves learning new technologies or rules and regulations, an intimidating prospect for people at any age. When 68-year-old Janice Carnicelli first began working on the computer systems for her job at Sears, she was hesitant. "I was afraid to touch the thing," Carnicelli recalls with a laugh. "It made me get modern." (AuburnPub)
