NJ’s minimum wage rising in January by 13 cents

30 Sep '14

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management.* Title: NJ’s minimum wage rising in January by 13 cents *Source*: Asbury Park Press *Date:* Sept 29, 2014 *Summary: *The raise is small but important, said Mary Gatta of West Long Branch, a senior scholar at Washington, D.C.-based Wider Opportunities for Women. “That indexing is important, and that’s what’s really critical to focus on,” Gatta said. “But certainly, $8.25 or $8.38 now, it’s still nowhere near economic security for families in New Jersey. It’s a good thing that the minimum wage has been raised, but it still not an economic security wage. We still have a ways to go when we talk about what families really need here.” *Link*: http://on.app.com/10l106n ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu <https://rumail.rutgers.edu/zimbra/?view=compose&to=smlrlibrary@work.rutgers…> http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

PBS NewsHour: How to negotiate flexibility into your job offer

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management* Title: How to negotiate flexibility into your job offer Author: Nick Corcodilas Source: PBS NewsHour *Date:* Sept 30, 2014 *Abstract*: When negotiating a job offer, says headhunter Nick Corcodilos, decide what’s most important to you. If it’s time with your child, then make that your priority. If you can live without an extra 30 minutes of family time, and you absolutely want the extra money that’s coming with the job, then don’t negotiate. The worst position to be in when negotiating is when you have already decided to accept the other guy’s terms as they are. *Link*: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/ask-headhunter/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu <https://rumail.rutgers.edu/zimbra/?view=compose&to=smlrlibrary@work.rutgers…> http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management.* Title: So you want a job? You’d better be in the right neighborhood *Source*: PBS NewsHour *Date:* Sept 29, 2014 Summary: Urban concentrations of lower-income and minority populations have higher than average unemployment rates. The spatial mismatch hypothesis (SMH) postulates that a worker with locally inferior job access is likely to experience worse labor market outcomes. If it is correct, then improving spatial access to jobs could lead to better employment outcomes. *Link*: http://to.pbs.org/1tbwD9o --------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu <https://rumail.rutgers.edu/zimbra/?view=compose&to=smlrlibrary@work.rutgers…> http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
