U.S. manufcaturing will be the big winner. It is striking that factory construction has been soaring over the last year. Also capital goods orders have held up remarkably well. Ill bet on a resurgence of domestic manufatcuring, although the firms and industries will be tough to guess.
there are a whole pile of people who work for minimum wage who are NOT teenagers….. and it depends on the state on what class of employees are exempt from the minimum wage.
In Arizona wait staff at restaurants are not subject to minimum wage, they are paid base pay + tips = minimum wage. My youngest son worked for a high end Cajun restaurant where his base was $2.38 and guess what, he never made the minimum wage. No labor board in AZ, no state labor laws, default to federal laws……. He was paid more working at a Subway…..
Here’s a talking point in the green jobs debate: The wind industry now employs more people than coal mining in the United States.
Wind industry jobs jumped to 85,000 in 2008, a 70% increase from the previous year, according to a report released Tuesday from the American Wind Energy Association. In contrast, the coal industry mining employs about 81,000 workers
That is why I try not to complain about the side effects of the chemo…… the alternative for not fighting this disease…… is not what I am not considering…….
Yes this loophole should be fixed that and crop pickers heck everyone should get the minimum wage. I think we should keep out goods from places that don’t pay a minimum wage.
A maximum wage on CEO’s on the other hand can’t come quick enough:)
it has to start with with one person taking that first step. i pledge to drop off some canned goods at the food bank next time i go into town (either tomorrow or mon)
If you think of the economy as cyclic, giving money to the desperate puts it into the economy immediately. By contrast, giving money to the rich doesn’t. They save it, which shifts their spending 180 degrees, where it’ll do the most damage.
Frontline Ltd., the world’s biggest owner of supertankers, said Jan. 14 about 80 million barrels of crude oil are being stored in tankers, the most in 20 years. A purchaser could buy oil now, keep it for months at sea and fetch better prices by selling futures that are higher than the spot price.
Oil prices are dropping if come summer the oil prices are still low then all of these oil tankers will be forced to sell lower gas prices does help our economy.
So new factories being built just what kind of factories and what do they know that I don’t? A very likely potential drop in oil prices for the summer and a raise in the minimum wage.
Plus we got Stimulus jobs kicking in road construction should make traffic horrible in all 50 states but it beats the alternative.
Schools and Government buildings should be getting insulated windows and save money on heat and air conditioning that should put home builders back to work.
Wind employs more people than Coal now before Obama has given out any money for green energy. I wonder how many people wind will employ after they get paid?
Will this be enough to save the economy I don’t know but it seems like a good start.
I’m going to make a guess and say Arizona is last on solar production……. in the 70’s there were a lot of scam companies who ripped off a lot of people with substandard solar water heaters AND because the water is so acid it rots plumbing…
Before I turn in, I have to share this from today’s Consumer Report: Consumers’ Union: Automaker Report Cards:

The state always showed a keen interest in solar and renewable energy in the past few years. And their efforts are bearing fruits in the form of clinching several coveted projects such as Solar World in Hillsboro, which became operational in October and have the largest solar cell manufacturing facility in North America;
Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems in Portland employs about 300 people
Solar World is German and Vestas is Danish I own both these stocks the stocks have lost money like everyone else but I’m still higher than when I bought them.
Maybe Jane could show Solar World and Vestas how often the words Solar Wind Green power pop up on the lake and get them to advertise here?
Great Obama is going to really need a great plan to retool the big three nobody buys high tech expensive green car clunkers.
The clunker market is for those who want to spend the least amount of cash on a car.
Just who is doing market research for the big three…and do they help Karl with the Math?
still a shareholder making a suggestion to a company – don’t they have to listen to your suggestion? you have a vested interest in wanting them to succeed so they should at least be gracious enough to listen to you.
they are big – the co’s you are a stakeholder in are not as big. i think you would have a better chance than some stranger named jane making a cold call would get.

my grannie has either dementia or alzheimers and has to move out of her assisted living – aging sucks but then so does the alternative

This should increase spending Teenagers with minimum wage jobs do tend to spend more.
Q: How’s life?
A: Not bad, when I consider the alternatives.

Big Business does not build new factories unless they think they will make money.
and grannies working for min wage to make their small pension check go further
increasing min wage is a good thing :)

I’m just trying to shine some good news about the economy for once.
That is why I try not to complain about the side effects of the chemo…… the alternative for not fighting this disease…… is not what I am not considering…….
Yep its aid for those still able to work but most in need now we just need some more food at the food banks.
Excellent quote! Here I thought we were going to have to support ourselves by selling credit-default swaps to each other. Alas, there’s hope!
God bless you!
hey, let’s give the food banks a bailout…
i second that
Yes this loophole should be fixed that and crop pickers heck everyone should get the minimum wage. I think we should keep out goods from places that don’t pay a minimum wage.
A maximum wage on CEO’s on the other hand can’t come quick enough:)
I third it:)
I love ol’ George T.

I don’t think Toyota or Honda listened when I talked about advertising on the Lake on their google finance blogs.
they are big – the co’s you are a stakeholder in are not as big. i think you would have a better chance than some stranger named jane making a cold call would get.
time for me to head out pups. thank you for hanging out with me tonight. g’nite all.
I’ll think about it I’ll check the website see if there is anyway to leave suggestions if not then the google finance pages.
Nite Suz I’m out too.
