"retiring baby boomers need help to manage their money" huh? What money? Americans are broke because of the worse inflation since the Great Depression!!!

Don''t make me laugh.

Thanks to them "tax cuts for Wall Street" after they fleeced everybody and fled to Dubai, How is there any "good jobs" being created right now?

These "fluff" articles from CBS be killing me with this "happy talk" garbage. Don''t they know the level of suffering that''s happening out here on Main Street.

Good grief.

"Where the jobs are?
States with low taxes, minimal meddling by government and weak unions.
Where are the jobs leaving?
States with high taxes, over-regulation by government and out-of-control unions.
Perhaps a lesson to be learned here?"

Not from baseless propaganda... none of that was discussed here

Collection of flowers.

The right rose
appears in my mind,
and everywhere
shines when the
soft wind remains
in the light of
a flower; the cold
leaf is dead
and here there''s
a shadow, the
delicate dark and
a loving profile.

I would like to know how this is an economic model. Service sector jobs and health care for aging boomers. What happens when these boomers finally kick off.

Without some sort of self sustaining industry we are done. There is no recovery to be found in wiping the as-ses of those who profited from our dead end system.

My fault curse914 for not being a little clearer-

Team Player-Has two levels. A. administration knows what your job is but because of lack of staffing and money, they expect you to be a "team player" and work overtime without pay.

B. The second level of team player is a little more insidious in that administration knows what the law is, what the rules are, and what your rights are but they expect you to be a "team player" and ignore all of that. Enron, mortgage industry, sub-prime banking were all examples of level two team player.

Team player-is essentially doing what is necessary to make a profit at the employees expense.

as for the statement:

3. Aging health care population reaching retirement age.

Item 3 was admittedly a little vague. It was referring to the population of nurses, doctors, pharmacists and other health care worker approaching retirement age themselves. When these old fartz hang up their white coats, there will be a major worker shortage in health care. Sorry bout the confusion.

I work as a nurse and I can tell you nurses are paid VERY WELL.

If so, it because of a number of factors: nursing shortage in your locale, area of specialization, and level of responsibility.


One poster was suggesting that nurse sleep when they should be working and felt that "all they(nurses) want is an hour of work for an hour of pay. She said that you constantly have to wake the nurses where she works at night to do their job."

Are then agreement with that posters assessment of your profession?

That is a bunch of *** my Wife works in the health care industry and all they want is an hour of work for an hour of pay. She said that you constantly have to wake the nurses where she works at night to do their job.
It is worse at night because the employees don''''t sleep enough. That is why so many accidents happen at night in Hospitals. Nurses are paid very,very, well.

Your wife "works in the health care industry"? As what? Sounds an awful lot like bitterness & jealousy to me.

As a pharmacist, I can assure you that nurses are generally underpaid for the work and responsibility of their profession.

It WILL become recession proof as tuition continues to skyrocket, combined with lenders not lending what having seen what seems apparent: Insanely high costs and nothing available so the graduates can start paying it
back.

"So there''s a big demand in healthcare."

--------------------------------------
What they don''t tell you is that due to pressure for profits, health care gets around the 40 hour work week by compressing 50 to 60 hours of work in that 40 hours.

The result is a health care shortage on several fronts-1. Not enough people graduating. 2. Increased baby boomer population and their chronic health conditions. 3. Aging health care population reaching retirement age. 4. Burn out-with health care workers in some instances working only part time.

It''s the "team player" gambit made so popular by the Federal Government and their inadequate funding problem.
