If you are a small businessman with your own 10-employee business, you certainly know how to determine what the contribution of each one of your employees is worth. What about the salary, compensation that you pay yourself every month out of the revenues that come into the business? Executive compensation has been an emotional topic of discussion for quite a while. Everyone clearly hates how top

There's something about America that feels a lot like India these days. In India, you're often likely to find that in the cities, every low-paid clerk at the grocery store, the cab drivers, the office gophers and construction workers, hold graduate and postgraduate degrees. Back in America today, you're likely to find lots of similar stories. You'll find someone with an MA in classical languages

What kinds of treasures lie in your attic? To families across the country, digging out poorly-used and very old silver items from storage and bits of broken gold jewelry from deep in some drawer are becoming quite a profitable pastime. The price of gold and silver have been soaring on the backs of vigorous investing activity for quite a while now; and people are beginning to realize that this

Because Positive Motivation Only Goes so Far The first thing that companies do in response to poor demand in a recession is usually to lay workers off. Somehow, almost never do companies decide to keep employees but to ask everyone to take a pay cut. They know that while people may be grateful for a new job with lower pay once they are fired, they don't actually think that way when they haven't

And it's from Visa! People love going out to dinner with friends; inevitably, everything goes well, until it comes time to pay the bill. Often, no one person seems to have enough in their wallet to actually pay their share. So everyone reasonably, decides to pay by credit card. Of course, that would mean that this restaurant would have to come up with five bills, one for each diner. Needless to

The recession hasn't been kind to the 529 savings account plans that many states offer. So now, here they are, trying to inject some fresh appeal into the whole idea. And they have a pretty great crowdpleaser of an idea too - it's free money. They are hoping that if they dangle enough money before families, they will tempt to enough of them to start investing with the state. And it'll be a great

I never really thought much about age discrimination when I was younger. To me, that was something that happened to old people and in my short time on earth, I really did not know too many of those. My grandparents were already retired and seemingly quite content, and it just did not seem like that big of a deal. It was not until my father got laid off in his early 50s that I begin to understand
