Hillary Cheers Obama’s Legacy, Calls It Progress – Economy Anemic & Productivity Growth Slowing
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016
Hillary Clinton Cheers Obama’s Progress??? What Progress???
(Business Insider) From 2011-2015 the government’s official labor productivity measure shows only a 0.4% annual growth in output per hour of work. That is the lowest for a 5 yr span since 1977-1982 and far below the 2.3% average since the 1950s — Productivity has flattened and without fast rising productivity growth, one is not going to get fast rising living standards.
In related anemic economic news, on Friday, the Dept of Commerce reported home-ownership rates fell to the 3rd lowest on record while also reporting last week, the nation’s anemic economy is stalling, growing at a mere 0.5% annually, the slowest pace in two years.
On the 01 April, I wrote here that 93.4 Million Americans were out of the labor force in March and manufacturing jobs declined by 29,000 from a month earlier according to data released by the Dept of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Saturday, April 30th, 2016

Employers Use Mobile Games to Recruit New Employees
(MarketWatch) Last Fall Barclays, the British multinational banking and financial services company began testing a new tool for attracting potential young job applicants — a mobile video game.
More than 4500 mostly college seniors have played the Barclay’s version of Stockfuse a free-stock trading game that uses real time Market data–about 8% have applied for positions at the international bank and so far, 17 have landed a job.
Such apps aim to shed light how a potential candidate may perform in a job based on how they perform a game. With Stockfuse for example, what securities a player invests in and the returns achieved typically provide plenty of data for consideration. Games from other developers range from solving mazes to managing a sushi restaurant.
Depending on the game app, developers build a detailed analysis of a players abilities and share them an interested employer. An evaluation may tag a person as a potential leader for demonstrating tenacity or dismiss another persons ability for making ‘snap decisions’ and showing poor judgment.
Some games take just a few minutes while others can go on indefinitely, with players resuming wherever they left off each time they log in.
