President Obama is proposing a $447 billion jobs plan that includes $105 billion for public works projects, $50 billion to renew unemployment benefits for 6 million people, and $35 billion to prevent layoffs of teachers and emergency workers. The plan also includes deeper payroll tax cuts for workers and new payroll tax cuts for businesses. White House officials say the proposal represents a bold response to address serious economic weakening.

The economy - where are the jobs 
An examination of current trends in unemployment with a look at future - what is likely to happen in the labor market. Examines how demographics and population changes will influence jobs, economic growth and economic development
Workplace Economy Slides August 2012
Despite the creation of over 100,000 new jobs in July, the national unemployment rate rose slightly to 8.3% from 8.2% in June. Hiring increased considerably as 163,000 new jobs were added, 99,000 more than in June. Opportunities included growth in the professional and business services sector of 49,000 jobs and increases in healthcare, manufacturing, and leisure/hospitality industries.

GDP is the total value of all goods and services produced in a country in one year. The US has the highest GDP at around $11 trillion. GDP per capita divides GDP by population to measure output per person, and the US also has the highest at $36,000. Unemployment is the percentage of the labor force that is able and willing to work but cannot find a job. The four components that make up GDP are consumer spending, business spending, government spending, and net exports.
State union
In his 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama focused on making the year one of action by Congress to help Americans. He highlighted that over 8 million new jobs have been created in the last 5 years, unemployment is at a 5-year low, and manufacturing jobs are being insourced from abroad. However, average wages have not increased and the middle class struggles. Obama called on Congress to strengthen the middle class by reforming the tax code to discourage keeping profits overseas and raising the minimum wage. He also emphasized investing in manufacturing using natural gas and fueling cars with domestic energy sources rather than foreign oil.
Obama's first 100 days = ARISE ROBY
The document summarizes 10 achievements of Obama's first 100 days in office that are underappreciated according to administration officials and Democrats. One achievement is allocating $19 billion in stimulus funds to implement electronic medical records, which officials say is significant for health care reform. Another is implementing new media efforts like online town halls and publishing the first White House blog to increase access to government. A third achievement is approving 2,500 highway projects through stimulus funds to create 260,000 transportation jobs.

The national unemployment rate declined for the second consecutive month to 8.1% in April, the lowest since February 2009. 115,000 new jobs were added, with opportunities in professional/business services (+62,000) and retail trade/manufacturing (+29,300/+16,000). Weaknesses included a slowdown in hiring and losses in information/transportation (-2,000/-16,600). The document also provides economic data for various countries such as interest rates, trade balances, sentiment indexes and inflation rates.

POLITICO on overtime regulation 6-8-2015
The Obama administration is poised to significantly raise the salary threshold that determines overtime eligibility, extending overtime pay to millions of additional workers. The Department of Labor could propose raising the threshold from $23,660 to between $45,000 and $52,000. This would expand overtime protections to 5-10 million more Americans and bring the threshold more in line with inflation since 1975. Business groups strongly oppose the change and are expected to mount legal challenges, arguing it will reduce employment and hours worked. Supporters counter that it would boost wages and give some workers more time with their families without reducing jobs.

Obama Stimulus
Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan aims to inject $120 billion into the economy. It includes providing an immediate $250 tax cut for workers and families, a $250 payment to seniors, additional payments if unemployment rises, assistance for homeowners facing foreclosure, $10 billion in relief for states hardest hit, and expanding unemployment insurance. The goal is to directly help those most in need and increase economic activity while lessening the impact of a potential recession.
Facts
The document compares the economic records of Presidents Bush and Obama:
1) Under Bush, unemployment fell and tax revenue increased after he cut taxes, while under Obama unemployment rose after his stimulus package despite higher government spending.
2) Oil prices have risen under Obama as he has reduced offshore drilling and permit approvals, slowing energy independence.
3) Government worker pension funds have invested over $1.5 billion in Bain Capital, benefiting from Romney's economic stewardship, while taxpayers lost billions on Obama's failed company investments.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allocates nearly $500 billion to stimulate the US economy through direct spending, tax cuts, and assistance for unemployed workers and their families. It aims to create 1.2 to 3.6 million new jobs by 2010. While boosting the economy in the short-term, it is estimated to increase the federal deficit by $787 billion from 2009 to 2019. The funds are distributed across various federal agencies and programs focused on infrastructure, education, tax relief, health care, and energy.

Jobs and Protectionism in the Stimulus
Package
President Obama's spending bill promotes the use of
American goods and labor. Despite foreign and domestic
protests, the language is mainly rhetorical
Members of the Senate and the House hash out differences between the two versions of the
economic stimulus legislation at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 11 Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
By Moira Herbst
The $787 billion spending legislation being signed on Feb. 17 by President Barack Obama is
designed to jolt some life into a moribund economy. Already, though, provisions to use the
money to "buy American"—whether that means American iron, steel, or labor—is sparking a
debate about whether such rules in a global economy amount to protectionism.
Organized labor and small U.S. manufacturers won an amendment to the stimulus bill to ensure
that more materials used on construction and infrastructure are made in the U.S. Critics of the H-
1B visa program won tougher rules governing when banks that are bailed out by the Troubled
Assets Relief Program (TARP) can fill jobs with skilled immigrants.
The final language drew criticism from abroad, where editorials and government officials
warned it could run afoul of trade agreements. But both provisions are less stringent than earlier
versions had been, and neither is likely to have a radical effect on how stimulus spending takes
shape.
http://www.businessweek.com/bios/Moira_Herbst.htm
Opposition from Exporters
The clearest attempt to wall off foreign companies from U.S. spending came in a "Buy
American" provision. That rule requires that only U.S. iron, steel, and other manufactured goods
be used for public buildings and public works funded under the bill. However, it comes with
several key caveats. For one, the language states that the Buy American policy must not violate
U.S. obligations under existing international trade agreements. Nor does the rule apply if
American goods aren't available in sufficient quantities or if they'll increase the cost of the
overall project by more than 25%. Federal highway, transit, and airport projects are already
covered by similar Buy American requirements.
The battle over the provision had been contentious. On Feb. 3, 100 business groups and
companies—including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, General Electric (GE), Caterpillar
(CAT), and other major construction, defense, and high-tech companies—wrote a letter to Senate
leaders warning that a far-reaching Buy American rule "will harm American workers and
companies across the entire U.S. economy, undermine U.S. global engagement, and result in
mirror-image trade restrictions abroad that would put at risk huge amounts of American exports."
But advocates of the provision—including the Alliance for American Manufacturing, a
partnership of manufacturing companies and the United Steelworkers union—said such rules are
needed to stem the tide of layoffs in th.
House Health Care Bill Over
The health care bill taking shape in the House carries a price tag of at least $1 trillion over 10 years, higher than President Obama's target of $900 billion. While Democrats cite a CBO estimate of $871 billion, officials acknowledge the true cost is over $150 billion more. The bill would reduce deficits by at least $50 billion according to CBO estimates. Both the House and Senate are struggling with the contentious issue of a public health insurance option, with the House uncertain if it can pass the liberal preferred nationwide government-run plan and the Senate assessing support for a national option that allows states to opt out.

The FCC also will make wireless providers deliver alerts to more granular geographic areas so you only get notices relevant to your location. And it also has created a new class of alerts, called Public Safety Messages, to share information that can save lives or property, such as emergency shelter locations or orders to not drink tap water without boiling it first. Wireless providers also have to support Spanish-language alerts.
The WEA system first became available on smartphones in 2012 with severe weather alerts. When receiving an alert, the phone emits a high-pitched noise and flashes a message on the screen, describing what emergency is happening. Because the alert system is on phones, the signals are triangulated so that weather alerts will be localized.

4th stimulus check status: $2,000 petition, $1,000 for teacher
Amber Alerts are about to get more detailed.
The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday adopted new rules to strengthen the Wireless Emergency Alerts system that delivers critical warnings and information to Americans on their wireless phones. The system sends Amber Alerts for missing children, as well as weather alerts and other emergencies.
Under the new rules, WEA alerts for 4G LTE and future wireless networks can now be 360 characters long, up from 90 characters under the old parameters. The FCC also will require participating wireless providers to support embedded phone numbers and URLs in all alerts, which allows the public to click to see a photo of a missing child or call the police.

FPTP - The Annual US Budget Fight
The US government shut down in October 2013 after Congress failed to agree on a budget by the deadline. Republicans used the budget deadline to try and delay the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010. The shutdown resulted in over 700,000 federal employees being furloughed without pay and the closure of some national parks and services. There are a few options to resolve the shutdown, including passing a clean budget without the healthcare provision, Democrats accepting changes, or a compromise. However, there does not seem to be much willingness to compromise from Republicans currently.

FPTP - The Annual US Budget Fight
The US government shut down in October 2013 after Congress failed to agree on a budget by the deadline. Republicans used the budget deadline to try and delay the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010. The shutdown resulted in over 700,000 federal employees being furloughed without pay and the closure of some national parks and services. There are a few options to resolve the shutdown, including passing a clean budget without the healthcare provision, Democrats accepting changes, or a compromise. However, there does not seem to be much willingness to compromise from Republicans currently.
U.S. Jobs Creation Plan by Richard D. Smith, SMITH-TRG
The document outlines Richard D. Smith's plan to create 2 million new US jobs within 12 months. It begins by describing the current dire employment situation, with over 26 million Americans unemployed or underemployed. Several attempts by the federal and state governments to stimulate job creation, such as the "Cash for Clunkers" program and tax incentives, are described as ineffective. The plan calls for bold leadership, vision, and strategies to start new businesses and help existing companies grow in order to create new jobs across multiple industries and demographic groups. Specific opportunities mentioned include digital media cities, manufacturing, and clean energy.

involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions

- 1. National/World <br />Obama Asks $105B In Public Works, More Jobless Aid<br />Updated at 06:26 PM today<br />President Barack Obama speaks after the annual Labor Day parade in Detroit, Monday, Sept. 5, 2011. Obama's speech at the annual event was serving as a dress rehearsal for the jobs address he's delivering to a joint session of Congress on Thursday night. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)<br /> <br />Sept. 8, 2011 (WASHINGTON) -- President Barack Obama is proposing spending $105 billion on public works projects as part of his package to spur job growth. He also is recommending that Congress renew nearly $50 billion in unemployment benefits for about 6 million people at risk of losing their jobless insurance. <br />The spending is contained in a broader $447 billion jobs plan that the president is unveiling Thursday before a joint session of Congress. <br />The proposal also contains deeper payroll tax cuts for workers and new payroll tax cuts for businesses. <br />In addition, the plan proposes spending $35 billion so that states and local governments can prevent layoffs of teachers and emergency services personnel. <br />White House officials say the proposal represents a bold response to serious economic weakening.
