Job security is becoming an outdated term for 21st century workers. So prevalent are mass layoffs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US Department of Labor reports the results in a Mass Layoff Statistics report. Interestingly this report was also set to be cut due to “budget constraints”
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in September 2007, employers took 1,271 mass layoff actions, (seasonally adjusted, as measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits) which involved 123,656 workers. This was an increase of 82 events from the prior month.
As corporations increasingly turn to downsizing as a method of improving cost efficiencies the divide between workers and the executive office continues to grow.
In an effort to build some sort of security, many individuals are turning to home based business opportunities. They range from health and nutrition products to skincare products; even travel is getting in on the act.
One newcomer to the field is http://straightedgemarketing.com, which offers a unique Internet communication tool called i-Vo Technology. i-Vo, which stands for Internet Video Overlay, is one of the most powerful communications tool to hit the Internet in years. In short, i-Vo superimposes transparent video of a “greeter” over existing websites. An i-Vo floats over top of a website and literally steps right of the page, captivating the visitor while delivering a targeted message. Straight Edge offers a nice compensation plan for selling the i-Vo product to businesses, organizations, or anyone that has a website and wants to make it more effective.
