Changing jobs frequently can leave you with lower pay cheques
Economic Times – Mar 22, 2008
Researchers at the University
of British Columbia have shown that workers who frequently change employers end
up earning less than their more stable counterparts. To find out the effect of
career mobility on worker’s wages, sociologist Sylvia Fuller of the University
of British Columbia looked at data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth, following almost 6,000 workers during their first 12 years in the labour
market. “The past 30 years
have seen the erosion of long-term employment, and young people are increasingly
told to expect ongoing employer changes throughout their careers,” said Fuller. “However, this research
examines the cumulative changes workers make, or are forced to make, and
demonstrates that these career moves may not always result in higher earnings,”
she added… Researchers at the University

worker’s early career.

Dahlberg: Nobody’s calling for Bonds, and the phone won’t…
SportingNews.com – Mar 22, 2008
That’s something Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris, has been hearing a lot lately as he shops the tainted slugger. Bonds says he has no intention of retiring, but that’s no longer his call. For the first time since early in his baseball career, he’s not dictating the terms of his employment. Bonds should put the Blackberry down, turn the cell phone off and get used to the idea that his playing days are over. Teams don’t want him, and neither do fans sick of anything or anybody to do with steroids. The next time you see Bonds it will be in a courtroom. The next uniform he wears might be in a prison yard.
Delaware board urges DEP careers
Oneonta Daily Star – Mar 22, 2008
“This internship program will be a great opportunity for young people to participate in a work program,” Eisel said. “Every job created is an investment in Delaware County’s economic future. ” “This program will allow the interns to consider staying home in Delaware County instead of leaving the county to find employment,” Donnelly said. With this internship program, the DEP will provide students with the opportunity to be involved with in the work performed, largely by watershed residents, to provide drinking water to 9 million people. Eisel said the DEP is pushing hard to have the program in place this summer. Eisel said there are many high-paying jobs available in local DEP departments, including the watershed police. He said the positions pay $35,000 to $50,000 a year, and many of them are filled with people from outside the area… He said the positions pay $35,000 to $50,000 a year, and many of them are filled with people from outside the area. The summer internships will be paid positions at 40 hours a week, Eisel said. Donnelly said the DEP is also working with the Andes Central School to begin developing a program for high school students to spend a portion of their school day at DEP facilities to explore career possibilities. “The DEP is concerned that in the future it may be difficult to find skilled people in this area to fill positions,” Eisel said. “This is just the beginning. The DEP is one of the larger employers in Delaware County, and they foresee shortages of employees in the future. ” Donnelly added, “This is a small step, but it’s the right step.
