Bush and John Cornyn because he thought they were too liberal. This does not bode well for working people who need a Workforce Commission that will seriously consider all sides of workplace issues,” Ms. Moeller said. While there is a position for a Commission

By Chris Williams @ www.theregister.co.uk  Financially-challenged US ISP Earthlink said on Tuesday it will slash about half its workforce after failing to ride the broadband wave Stateside. The Atlanta-based firm will can 900 staff as part of a sweeping cost-cutting exercise. It also lowered its revenue predictions for the third time this year to between $1.19bn and $1.21bn. Recently appointed CEO Rolla Huff opened up a can of management speak: “While we see this as an important first step in unlocking the underlying value that we believe is in our company, we are only eight weeks into the process of repositioning EarthLink for the future.” More cuts could be on the way, he added. Earthlink is suffering as its dial-up hold outs finally make the switch to broadband from other providers.

THE HABERMAN INTERNATIONAL POLICY INSTITUTE IN EDUCATION have found a problem and they're out to correct it: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE OF THE HABERMAN INTERNATIONAL POLICY INSTITUTE IN EDUCATION Problem: Employers throughout the United States and the developing world have one thing in common: the need for entry-level workers with decent basic skills, a solid work ethic, personal responsibility, computer savvy, and the ability to function effectively on teams. And schools, particularly in large cities, are failing to produce enough of these kinds of workers. 1. A kid can go through twelve years of basic education and not have "decent" basic skills. If they can't get them in twelve years, HIPIE will do it in one? 2. A solid work ethic? How do you teach pre-teens a solid work ethic? Singing "work is good" songs. Really, how? 3. Personal responsibility. Again, unless imbued with such an ethic from an early age or forced to by need-like hunger- this is a tough sell. In fact,

The Orange County Business Council recently unveiled the results of a yearlong study into how well each Orange County city is doing in providing housing for its growing workforce. The study concluded that home building lags behind job growth and if the trend continues, the lack of workforce housing could hamper the local economy. (See the press release HERE and the full report HERE.) To get the scoop on what's behind this effort, we spoke with OCBC's research guru Wallace Walrod (he's actually a Ph.D.) and OCBC CEO Lucy Dunn (who also is the former California housing director) ... Us: What’s the housing scorecard and why are you putting this together? Wallace: Because our housing supply hasn’t kept up with our job creation we have had a couple of very troubling situations arise. One is obvious to everyone everyday, that traffic keeps increasing and especially commuting traffic into Orange County, primarily from the Inland Empire, but also from San Diego and L.A. County.
