 | Are there any changes in employment law (to encourage employers to take on staff and people to take up jobs)) or other action in terms of spending on infrastructure (if so on what sort of projects) that might help?
Also, what factors determine the level of employment in a country like the UK?
Any guidance would be appreciated.....
Many thanks.

| The US has some of the toughest environmental restrictions in the world, especially for the size of the country. So when environmentalists push industry out of our country by tying them up in the legal system for years on end until they have had enough, do they think they have done the environment a favor?
Of course these industries will go to where they are welcome, and often to a country with very lax environmental restrictions.
How are they helping the environment when they could have prevented even more pollutants from entering the air and water had the industry remained in the USA?
It's "global" warming, right?

 | Everyone whines about the illegal workers, but we're losing more substantial jobs overseas...
Read excerpt:
Boston-based consultancy Forrester estimates that 400,000 service jobs have been lost to offshoring since 2000, with jobs leaving at a rate of 12,000 to 15,000 per month, says John McCarthy, the company's director of research. Other estimates say up to 20,000 jobs a month may be moving overseas. This is in addition to the 2 million manufacturing jobs that are estimated to have moved offshore since 1983. These numbers are predicted to rise. Management consulting firm McKinsey & Company's economic think tank, the McKinsey Global Institute, predicts that white-collar offshoring will increase at a rate of 30 percent to 40 percent over the next five years. By 2015, Forrester predicts, roughly 3.3 million service jobs will have moved offshore, including 1.7 million "back office" jobs such as payroll processing and accounting, and 473,000 jobs in the information technology industry
I know we don't want to lose jobs to anyone, but to me, this is way worse than hiring illegals to pick fruit...

"“He supports corporate tax reform that would reduce expenditures and loopholes, lower rates for people investing and creating jobs in the U.S., due so further for manufacturing, and that we need to, as we have the Buffett Rule and the individual tax reform, we need a global minimum tax so that people have the assurance that nobody is escaping doing their fair share as part of a race to the bottom or having our tax code actually subsidized and facilitate people moving their funds to tax havens," Sperling said."
Sperling is the Director of the White House Economic Council.
The global minimum tax is meant for social protection and here it says it is needed to prove that everyone is doing their fair share even if using tax havens. Why not just make it illegal to use a tax haven?
Or do you find this as odd as I do?

 | Obama will probably spend time on his ranch at Martha's Vineyard, and wait around doing nothing while the Soros-engineered hurricane batters our coastlines.
Then, Obama will say fly in weeks later for a photo-op over the disaster zone in Air Force One, and then tell the FEMA director "you're doing a heckuva job."
Maybe if Obama knew how to respond to a crisis like Bush, we'd be a lot better off.
But what's despicable is that this hurricane was manufactured by George Soros so the left could target red states and push their global warming agenda, and make Obama look like a hero for his photo ops to get our minds off the economic recession that Obama created the day he took office.
Obama is a Atheist Muslim and a Marxist puppet of Wall Street & Goldman Sachs - and he eats a hamburger with Dijon Mustard.
Where is the certificate of authenticity that certifies that his birth certificate is real?

| IF YOU GOING TO EDIT THIS FOR ME, THANK YOU. PLEASE DON'T BE CRUEL!!!!
For a country to achieve great success in a particular sector, it is of great importance for said country to invest in education, either in the private sector or the public sector, thereby producing knowledge workers. Canada, including many other countries such as Japan and India have adopted this strategy and utilizing it to their own advantage, have dominated many industries; some of which being Gaming, Robotics, and Pharmaceuticals.
It was only a few decades ago, when the gaming industry was first born. It was the birth of Nintendo, Sega, Dreamcaste, etc. Today the gaming industry has escalated into one of the biggest and wealthiest markets in the world. “According to IDC(International Data Coporation), gaming was a 26.6 billion dollar worldwide industry in 2006 and it is only prospering.” This industry is now making more than Hollywood annually, which was never seen possible. Countries like Canada specifically, have looked at this industry and saw it as a big asset, and so invested in it. Canada has taken advantage of this opportunity and now has become the leader in Gaming. How? Canada didn’t just buy Gaming companies from other countries and such, they went for a more logical and more beneficial route in the long run, and they invested in education, producing knowledge workers, who in the long run established their own gaming operations, which have become a global brand, such as Montreal’s UBISOFT. The Canadian government have invested millions into gaming industries and education and in return receive 1000’s of jobs. “The government of Ontario…managed to lure Ubisoft with an investment of C$263 million ($227 million US) over 10 years to help set up the publisher's new digs. For its part, Ubisoft will be spending more than half a billion dollars in the new development studio, which will create over 800 jobs.” Ubisoft, a known global gaming brand, is looking to expand, “unveiling an ambitious six-year, $451-million expansion to its operations. The plan will see Ubisoft's ranks in Quebec swell from 1,600 employees to 3,000 by the end of 2013, with 500 of those new jobs earmarked for a recently created in-house animation studio.” Not only are they expanding operations they are looking to produce movies, "We're going to take the next few years to learn how to make movies," said Ubisoft Montreal communications director Cedric Orvoine. The step taken by Canadian Gaming companies to become a global leader has helped the economy significantly, in the sense that it provides lots of jobs, and brings in lots of revenue and in these rough times Canadian businesses need to step up, and do their part to help end the recession in Canada. “The Canadian gaming industry generates $14 billion in revenues a year and directly supports more than 50,000 jobs in Canada.” Not many Canadians are aware that the gaming industry gives back to the Canadian community, but in a PMG poll it is highlighted that the Canadian gaming industry actually contributes $7 billion to governments and charities and invests about $75 million annually on responsible gaming research and treatment. These polls themselves justify how important these industries are to the Canadian economy and to Canada. We can all honestly say that Canadian gaming industries ultimately give back more than how much we invest into them.
Today, we live in a new age, a society where technology is much more advanced than it has ever been. We no longer break are backs doing tasks that require hard labour; instead we have robots that perform tasks efficiently and conveniently. Robotics, what is it? Robotics is the engineering science and technology of robots, and their design, manufacture, application, and structural disposition. It has only been about a century since Henry Ford proposed and used the idea of an assembly line, where robots were used to build cars faster and better. From their, we have come to an age where we can produce robots that can walk, talk, and follow commands. “There are robots serving as receptionists, vacuuming office corridors, spoon-feeding the elderly. They serve tea, greet company guests and chatter away at public technology displays.” We have come here with the help of the Japanese, who have invested billions of dollars in the education of knowledge workers and have funded many robotic projects, “In the past several years, the government has funded a plethora of robotics-related efforts, including some $42 million for the first phase of a humanoid robotics project, and $10 million a year between 2006 and 2010 to develop key robot technologies.” It is evident that Japan is the most dominating country in robotics, which is due their commitment and dedication to this field. Some ask why Japan takes that much of a risk, investing billions in this field, and in order to answer that question you must look at the statistics; According to Hiroko Tabuchi of the associated

| A confidential US cable from US embassy in Doha, Qatar (where Al Jazeera headquarters is located) was published recently on Wikileaks and reveals that Al Jazeera Managing Director Wadah Khanfar has agreed to a US government request to delete and altar website content that “disturb” the US government.
Please note, this implies material is being withheld from the American people, because it may expose information that might 'upset the apple cart' of the US Administration.

Will this next article ever be discussed by television and mainstream press reports? Why not? Would this information also 'disturb' the US Administration by exposing sinister motives for war on Libya?

Are you happy knowing we live in a 'manufactured reality'....where news on critical issues is censored by omission?
Thanks for the many and varied answers and insights. My feeling is that people are voting and making decisions based on 'misinformation', or information meant to leave the populace unaware. How can thinking people have reasonable discussion and dialogue with neighbors and friends when the entire information is skewed, trumped-up, or fabricated?
