Having sold over 23,000 copies at approximately $19 a pop (some of those 23,000 must also be via their bulk discount rate) that means they've pulled in over $400,000 in pure profit since March 1st. Between this book and their job board they are doing an amazing job monetizing their huge audience. Without putting too much strain on the imagination, one could even see 37 Signals starting a publishing branch of their company. Would it be such a stretch to see them rivaling O'Reilly? 23,000 copies in the publishing world is nothing to balk at. Go get 'em guys.

(ChinMusic) JobCoin As niche job boards seem to be springing up like weeds, JobCoin has made it absurdly easy to set up your very own niche job board and make some decent money at it. We've written about several niche job boards in the past, and not one of them has gotten a float, for various reasons. One major problem with all of these boards seems to be a lack of interaction, necessary tools or even simple categorized RSS feeds. JobCoin does not solve any of these problems, but they have created something very interesting here.Any site that wants to set up their own job board can do it in just a few seconds. If you have a blog that targets starving writers, you can create your own writer job board. The niche possibilities are pretty endless here, considering just how many blogs there are out there. The main problem as I see is that JobCoin is completely reliant on the success of these sites. There is no charge to set-up your own board and then JobCoin takes a 30% cut of the price you decide to charge for job postings. They'll need to attract some pretty big hitters to keep going, and they'll need to keep them happy if they are going to stay afloat. In JobCoin's case, this is going to mean adding more features to give job seekers and headhunters more incentive to use a specific site's job board. (PostBubble) UK: Salary survey autumn 2006: the age of acceptance The majority of you have given the recent age discrimination legislation the thumbs up - but will it make a positive difference or could it have a negative effect on recruitment?  Ageism is an issue that has increasingly pervaded the workplace as industries have become ‘younger'. It has cut short many careers and costs business valuable skills, knowledge and resources, not to mention inflicting hard times on highly-skilled workers still in their prime.

(Pioneer Press) Deep Release: Retire? 54 Million Boomers Say "Not" Shuffleboard Manufacturers Despair as Simply Hired Keeps Crowds off the Courts Simply Hired (www.simplyhired.com), the world's largest search engine for jobs, today announced the launch of a new search offering for job seekers aged 50 and above. Through a strategic partnership with category expert RetirementJobs.com, (www.retirementjobs.com), Simply Hired now makes it easy for job seekers to identify and apply to jobs with "age-friendly" employers. Simply Hired's new "age-friendly" job search can be found at www.simplyhired.com/fiftyplus.  With the first of the 77 million baby boomers turning 60 this year, employers face a staffing crisis. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates 10 million jobs will go unfilled in 2010 as the first wave of boomers retires. Simply Hired's new search offering helps to close this gap by connecting boomers in search of work with employers who value their experience and have thousands of job openings to fill. While salary is certainly important to those seeking "encore careers," other criteria, such as flexibility (the ability to work full or part-time, in seasonal or contract positions), benefits, training, and a company culture that is free of age bias, are valued highly by these experienced employees. To assure that jobs and the employers who offer them are well-suited to age 50+ workers, RetirementJobs.com conducts an extensive evaluation of employers to verify that their policies and practices have proven to be successful in recruiting and retaining older personnel. Through its Age-Friendly Employer Certification program, RetirementJobs.com has certified and identified hundreds of employers whose work environments will appeal to boomers and seniors. Companies that have been certified as "Age-Friendly" include firms such as Borders Group, REI, H&R Block, Oakwood Healthcare System and Robert Half International. "A recent survey from the AARP revealed that 70% of baby boomers plan to continue working in their retirement years," said Gautam Godhwani, CEO of Simply Hired. "By partnering with RetirementJobs.com, Simply Hired will make it easy for these workers to identify employers who value aged 50+ candidates for their experience, reliability and productivity." "Jupiter Research predicts that more than 62 million adults over age 50 will be online by 2010," said Tim Driver, CEO of RetirementJobs.com. "RetirementJobs.com and Simply Hired will make it easy for millions of older Americans to log-on to discover and work opportunities that fit both their income and lifestyle requirements."
