Time to reflect…
The unemployment rate is below 4%.
Black unemployment is at an all time low
Wages have started to creep up.
And, according to a recent Harris poll, blue collar job satisfaction is over 80%.
Thanks to all who do the work so that I can sit back and enjoy my retirement.

Yesterday, we posted a survey that reported half of all employees would tell friends and family not to come work from their employer.
=========
I got curious and dug a little deeper …
A recently reported study of 1,015 LinkedIn users “sought insights into how organizations attract, engage, motivate as well as retain workers and build the kind of workplace that employees promote.”
The headline conclusion: “About half of workers wouldn’t recommend their organization to a friend or family member searching for a job.”
What’s their beef?
Let me give you a couple of choices:
(a) Smiling is dictated by employer
(b) Fundamentally happy with job & pay
(c) Something else
According to a survey of 718 British cabin attendants by UK The Telegraph, the answer is (c) – something else.
The survey asked the cabin attendants if they had ever broken any of the airlines’ rules.
9 out of 10 answered to the affirmative.
Most of the violations were relatively minor – e.g. accepting tips.
But, some were doozies.
