US labour market hot, but declining profits cast shadow over economy
- A + A WASHINGTON (May 26): The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week as the labour market remains tight amid strong demand for workers, despite rising interest rates and tightening financial conditions. But the outlook for the economy is uncertain, with other data on Thursday showing corporate profits falling across the board in the first quarter. Some economists believe the erosion of profits and falling share prices could force companies to pause hiring or start laying off workers. Several retailers, including Walmart Inc have lowered their full-year earnings forecasts, citing high inflation. Snap, the parent of Snapchat, issued a profit warning this week, sparking a sell-off of social media stocks. "The biggest expense for most companies is labor always," said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS in New York.

Here's what to do about it so you never get rejected for student loan forgiveness again. Student Loan Forgiveness When it comes to Public Service Loan Forgiveness, it's not as simple as saying you "work" in public service. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program is a federal program that forgives federal student loans for borrowers who are employed full-time (more than 30 hours per week) in an eligible federal, state or local public service job or 501(c)(3) nonprofit job who make 120 eligible on-time payments. It's your employer that matters, not your role. For example, if you work with a non-profit, but are employed by a private company, this would not qualify for public service loan forgiveness. According to data from the U.S. Department of Education, only about 300 borrowers … [Read more...] about How To Never Get Rejected For Student Loan Forgiveness

The Business Case For Nurturing Mental Health Awareness In And Outside Of The Workplace
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The month of May is a time of renewal and nurturing new growth. Nowhere is that more obvious than on farms and fields of Nebraska, as another growing season begins.
