asherisMinnesota job hunters find mixed results
Some recent graduates complain about having to send out thirty whole resumes before finding a job within a few months of starting to look. Meanwhile, it's reported that for every 10 job seekers in the state there are about 4 jobs- and most of those are part time and/or minimum wage/no benefits so it's actually even worse that the 10:4 sounds.
Academics Declare Recession Ended in 2001
Obviously a fantasy piece, despite the attempts of the report's authors to have it taken seriously.
E-mail to president? Not so fast
The White House claims it's now "easier" to email them.
Instead of laboriously typing "president@whitehouse.gov" into the To: field of a message, now all you have to do is fill out six screens of questions about who you are, who you work for, where you live, and whether your comment is in agreement with or in opposition to stated White House policies. For added convenience, after you send it you get a message in your email asking if you really meant to send that message- simply reply to that, and you've sent an email to the White House.
What could be easier?
