The nation's unemployment rate fell slightly to 9 percent in October as 80,000 jobs were added to the economy. The drop in the unemployment rate from 9.1 percent to 9 percent is the first decline since July. Additionally, hourly earnings rose last month, according to the Labor Department.
At noon, Chicago Jobs with Justice, along with Occupy Chicago protesters, will rally outside the State of Illinois building to call for a federal investment in job creation. The group will also hold a press conference responding to the Labor Department's October jobs report and the "scandalous inaction" by Congress on the unemployment crisis.
The rallyers will then march to the Chicago Board of Trade to "demand that companies pay taxes on their trades to create 40,000 jobs in Chicago per a report released by Stand Up Chicago and the Chicago Political Economy Group," according to an announcement by Chicago Jobs with Justice.
I Love the line; The "scandalous inaction" by Congress on the unemployment crisis.
Come 2012 I’m personally voting against every single incumbent in politics, even the few I like!

Here's a new twist on employee retention...

Keep job for 5 years, get $50,000
November 8, 2011, by Christopher Seward
You don’t see this too often.
A Charleston, S.C.-based company is offering its workers a $50,000 bonus if they stay with the company for five years – and $250,000 if they stay for 25.
CNN Money reports that SIB Development and Consulting’s offer is extended to its 30 full-time employees, no strings attached. They stay, they get paid.
The so-called “retention incentive” was extended because company loyalty appears to be a thing of the past, SIB founder Dan Schneider told CNN. The company specializes in helping corporate clients reduce monthly fixed costs and hopes to bring in $6 million in revenue this year.
“Most people think I am nuts, and I am fine with that,” Schneider told CNN.
By the way, the check isn’t cut until after the fifth (or 25th) year.
