Bacharach School of Industrial & Labor Relations--------Director, Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell University 16 East 34th Street, 4th floor----------------------Stuart Basefsky New York, NY 10016-------------------------------Director, IWS News Bureau ________________________________________________________________________ THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Background Paper Projecting Labor Force Participation and Earnings in CBO's Long-Term Microsimulation Model October 2006 http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/76xx/doc7676/10-27-LaborForce.pdf [full-text, 120 pages] [excerpt] The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) uses a microsimulation approach to analyze the budgetary and distributional impact of Social Security and other age-related policy issues. This background paper provides a detailed description of one important component in the microsimulation model: the equations used to project labor force participation, hours worked, unemployment, and earnings outcomes. The paper describes the estimated relationships in CBO's microsimulation model, the data sets used, the principles underlying causal effects, and the properties of the projections over time. In keeping with CBO's mandate to provide objective, nonpartisan analysis, the paper makes no policy recommendations.

METROPOLITAN DESK Day Laborers' Lawsuit Casts Spotlight on a Nationwide Conflict By FERNANDA SANTOS The 36-year-old Mexican man has lived in Mamaroneck for eight years, trekking each morning to Columbus Park near the village center to wait for contractors who might pay him $10 an hour at best. But the village closed the hiring site in the park in February, and after that, he testified in court here last week, the police often chased away the employers with tickets, and the workers with fear. <p> ''An officer stands very close, sometimes within a foot or 18 inches, to where I or a group of day laborers stand,'' the man told a judge, speaking through a Spanish translator. ''He crosses his arms and stares at us for long periods of time until we eventually feel compelled to change our location. <p> http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50C1FFB38550C748DDDA00894D… ----------------- Advertisement -------------------------- The Academy loved these movies enough to name each one Best Picture.

BUSINESS/FINANCIAL DESK Corporate Pensions Face Pressure Despite Stock Rally By MARY WILLIAMS WALSH This year's stock market rally has added more than $100 billion to corporate America's depleted pension funds, but even that has not been enough to offset forces that continue to weaken the funds. <p> If all of America's 500 largest companies had to make good on their promises to workers and retirees immediately, they would have to plug a $259 billion gap in their pension funds, according to a study by Standard & Poor's which will be published soon. A year ago, even though stock prices were lower, the same companies were considerably closer to meeting their obligations, being only $212 billion short. <p> http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0F11F73A5A0C728FDDAB0994D… ----------------- Advertisement -------------------------- The Academy loved these movies enough to name each one Best Picture.
