Call Off Your Goons: ‘No Signs of Double Dip’ in Latest Jobs Report

September 3, 2010

Another monthly jobs report from the Labor Department , another mix of decent and not-overly-fantastic news.  Take a look at some of the more positive findings from the report: Private companies added 67,000 jobs in August, more than the 41,000 economists had forecast, bringing the total number of jobs added in private sector employment since December 2009 to 763,000. The numbers for previous months were revised to show an overall loss of 175,000 jobs in June rather than 221,000; and a loss of 54,000 in July, instead of 131,000.

Poll: Average Project Time

September 3, 2010

Over the past few months, I’ve been finding all types of new and exciting clients, with new and exciting projects.  One of the things that I’ve noticed is the variety of projects that are out there.  From quick projects – “The easiest $50 you’ll ever make” – to longer term projects, with multiple sections spanning a few months.  FYI – the $50 project was completed very quickly, the payment – still waiting! For some reason, I’ve always felt the need to compare my results with those around me.  It’s not to be competitive, but more to ensure that I am not leaving anything on the table.  I want to ensure that I am providing as much value to my clients as possible. So my question to you, dear freelancers, is what is your average project time to completion?  Not including the initial negotiations of what will be done and what will be paid, but the actual time you spend working on a project, from the moment you start until the final file is sent to the client. What’s the average amount of time you spend on a project

Carin Wester comes to Urban! | Ology

September 3, 2010

We’ve had our eye on Swedish mid-priced designer Carin Wester since we saw her bustier tribal print skirt set on StyleBubble in July. (Snatched the damn thing up in red, in fact.) But by fall we won’t have to pay for shipping, because Wester’s goods will be available in two New York City Urban Outfitters stores. Urban’s pulling from Scandinavia this season to wrap us in wools and knits for fall, with Wester, Rodebjer and House of Dagmar, as well as Danish designers Wood Wood and Stine Goya.

All the single ladies…make more money | Ology

September 3, 2010

Since the dawn of work, there has existed a wage gap between men and women, and overall, men still earn more than their equally educated female counterparts. That is, except for one group of women. Women professionals between the ages of 22 and 30 who do not have children are earning just as much, and in some cases much more, than their male counterparts. According to MSNBC.com , this conclusion comes from a study of 2008 census data in the 50 largest U.S

"Media Mental Midgets" Get It Wrong Again

September 3, 2010

I have been blogging about the job market since August, 2001, right before the attacks on the World Trade Center. In my almost 40 years of recruiting, I have seen good times, bad times, great times and horrible times. With few exceptions, the media never talks to anyone in the recruiting business about the job market when they do their stories about the labor market in the private sector.
