A Note From The Editor
Google Has Your Data:
Should You Be Afraid? - Part One
Google has become a
corporate media conglomerate focused on generating
revenue by incessantly pushing advertisements at its
users. Now, corporate Google is bent on monetizing every
user through keeping a careful watch on every Web page
users access and every file users open on local
machines.
With one of the most efficient and widely used search
systems today, Google's computers crawl the Internet,
sucking up every imaginable type of information
available on Web sites everywhere.
Its free search products let users find this information
quickly. Its desktop search toolbar extends Google's
search capabilities to catalogued listings of hard
drives for near instant searches for local data. In
addition, Google reads users' private e-mail sent
through its Gmail service and private e-mail stored on
users' hard drives through its desktop-search software.

"Job hunters have asked us
for the ability to find jobs from just one web site,”
explained Will Gilmore of JobRobots.com. "We have
accomplished this, but have gone a step further to
ensure that jobs are as “fresh” as possible and not
stale postings that waste precious time and frustrate
users."
JobRobots.com currently has more than 500,000 job
listings in the United States and Canada, and is growing
exponentially with their proprietary search and data
gathering web applications.

Weekly Article
US Facing Surplus of
Hispanic Workers?
The second largest
contributor to Mexico’s Gross Domestic Product is the
money sent back to families in the country from citizens
who are working in other countries, particularly in the
United States. That amount may soon surpass the revenue
generated from Mexico’s leading industry, oil. Labor,
much of it unskilled or semi-skilled, is the country’s
most significant export.
 A
wide range of American employers use Hispanic workers as
full-time, long-term employees, and as transient and
temporary workers. Employers have found that these
employees are most often dedicated and hard working.
Their strong work ethic is accompanied by a welcome
appreciation for having a job and respect for
management. Interestingly, these values which built
American industry, are lacking in many US
citizens---both white and black. While longer-time
workers complain about employer use of Hispanic
immigrants, there are important differences in
productivity and attitude.
Undocumented Mexican workers in the United States are a
primary source of day labor for landscapers,
construction and home remodeling companies, cleaning
contractors, and similar employers whose need for
less-skilled labor may vary from day to day. In many
cities, there are established pick-up points where day
workers congregate for employment opportunities.
Employers looking for people drive up, hire workers on
the spot, and transport them to the job site(s). At the
end of the workday, they return them to the meeting
point.
Many of these companies hiring undocumented workers pay
them in cash, usually a reasonable wage. The amount is
typically economical for the employer, but substantially
more than the workers could make if they had remained
back home in Mexico. They don’t pay taxes, insurance, or
other benefits. This practice is illegal, of course, but
enforcement authorities simply do not have enough staff
to adequately police this shadowy segment of the
economy. With low overhead, businesses employing this
type of labor have a competitive advantage.
When work is plentiful, foreign workers encourage their
friends from Mexico to join them. So many have migrated
to the US that in some areas, there is a slight surplus
of labor. This problem will intensify, potentially
driving down wages.

Employment Studies
and Trends
Study: Effective Recruiting Tied to Stronger
Financial Performance
Organizations with superior recruiting practices —
such as filling jobs quickly, hiring their first-choice
candidate and using employee referrals — financially
outperform those with less effective programs, according
to a new study by Watson Wyatt, a leading human capital
consulting firm. The study also found that
pay-for-performance and stock-based compensation
programs are associated with higher shareholder returns.
Watson Wyatt’s Human Capital Index (HCI) study found
that successful recruiting is a strong indicator of
higher shareholder value. Companies that fill positions
within two weeks provided total return to shareholders (TRS)
of 59 percent between 2002 and 2004 versus 11 percent at
companies that required at least seven weeks to fill
positions. Additionally, companies that typically fill a
position after just one offer is made had a three-year
TRS of 44 percent versus 32 percent for companies that
typically have to make two or more offers to fill an
opening.
