Case Study: The Bureau Of Labor Statistic

The unemployment rate has dramatically increased over the last several months. This increase has created many complications for the American people. Although the United States economy has created over 7 million jobs, there is still a long way to go until the economy is back on track.

Since then, however, the level of unemployment has steadily decreased as shown in Figure 2 from 12.3% in 2003 to the current standings of 4.7%, a result of increasing levels of economic growth and development.

As of March, 2013 the U.S. National Unemployment rate was 7.6%. A total of 11.7 million people were reported as unemployed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This rate is improved from the height of the recent recession, where the statistic floated around 9%, but it is still not the usual 3-4% figure we are used to seeing in regular market conditions. (bls.gov, US, 2013)

The increasing demand for professions in health care make being a surgeons assistant a great career choice. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said that in 2012, there were approximately 98,500 professionals in this field. Although the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) doesn 't provide job outlook information for surgical assistants specifically, it does give information about surgical technologists. In 2012, there were approximately 98,500 professionals in this field. The BLS expects job growth in the field to be very strong, at a rate of 30% from 2012 through 2022, which would result in a projected employment of 127,800 in 2022. The BLS expects the demand for surgical technologists to rise due to an increasing focus on medical procedures and health care for an aging population. There will be an increasing amount of elders because the infants that were involved in the baby boom are growing old. Advances in medical technology allow hospitals and clinics to continuously perform new and innovative surgeries, keeping these workers in constant demand. In addition, elderly patients may want to stay active

Appellee violates the federal fair labor standard acts by designating an employee as a “manager” who is entitled to overtime pay when that employee’s primary job responsibilities do not require supervising other employees or exercising independent judgment, but do require day to day maintenance activities as well as retail sales.

While there are expectations of a yearly gain of nearly 2.3 million net new jobs, the unemployment rate is still very high i.e. around 6.5 percent. The lower-than-expected job growth is fueled by various factors including government hiring, weather, and Obamacare. Actually, similar to December, January had a lower-than expected increase in job opportunities since only 113,000 jobs were created. However, the rate of unemployment still reduced to 6.6 percent in this month despite of the growth in labor force. The current rate of unemployment is the lowest in U.S. since the 2008 recession because more people are leaving the labor force instead of finding jobs.

As of February of 2016, “the unemployment rate in America was recorded at 4.9 percent, unchanged from the January rate and remaining at its lowest

In this presentation I will compare two articles on the latest jobs report published by the U.S. Department of Labor. I will contrast Danielle Paquette’s article “Job growth slumped in August” with Nelson D. Schwartz’s article “Manufacturing Is a Bright Spot in a Subdued Jobs Report”. I will first begin by simply looking at the tone of each title, as that is the first thing that catches the reader's eye.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is an independent statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Labor and the principal Federal agency responsible for measuring labor market activity, working conditions, and price changes in the economy.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conceive as an agency that would primarily benefit the Labor movement, the BLS has evolved into a comprehensive, scientific, neutral agency that provides public information on the overall health of a company. The Bureau is intended to be separate and distinct from the policy-making and enforcement arms of the Department of Labor, and maintain credibility based on standards of data collection, processing and dissemination. The Bureau of Labor Statistics offers commitment to accuracy, quality and integrity with jobs such as Legal, Social Work, Nurses, Accountants, etc.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that between 2012 and 2022 that the amount of working medical transcriptionist in the United States will only grow to about 8%. In 2012, there were only about 84,000 medical transcription positions. On the other hand, this profession possess great flexibility that can open doors to other employment opportunities. In some cases transcribers are not always directly in the room with a physician and can transcribe what they say from listening through a headset. Therefore, the occasion arises to work any where in the world. For example, one of my previous teachers informed me that a medical transcriber was able work from home and transcribe for a physician living in Australia. In this scenario the transcriber

The unemployment rate in the United States has improved dramatically over the last two years, from a high of 8.3% in July 2012, to a low of 6.6% in January 2014. In October of 2012, the civilian labor force increased from 578,000 to 155.6 million, labor force participation increased up to 63.8%, and total employment overall rose by 410,000! Since then, the unemployment rate has been falling at a stable rate due to a political push from Washington DC and new employment initiatives. The inflation rate over the last 2 years has been relatively stably, with a few major increases and decreases in 2012 and 2013. It reached a high of 2.3% in June of 2012, and reached a low of 1.0% at the end of 2013. The federal interest rate has remained at a constant .25% over the past few years.

Unemployment rates have been on a downward decline since March 2010. Frank (2014) noted that from July 2014 to August 2014, unemployment rates have dropped 0.1%. Focusing on the last year, the unemployment rate has dropped from 7.5% to the current 5.8%. Indiana’s decrease of 1.7% is one of the largest declines of unemployment rating in the United States in the last year. This decline can be contributed to an increase in Indiana’s employment. Since September 2013, Indiana has added 51,000 employees to the workforce. Scott B. Sanders, Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, stated, "Indiana 's unemployment rate has decreased 1.7 percent over the past year, while the labor force has expanded by more than 51,000 workers, which is quite remarkable. During the same period, the Hoosier State
