Hiring and firing in 2010

After the global economic turmoil we have recovered a lot, business is bouncing back after sharpest drop. Many large and small scale industries are growing up again and are looking for the investment. According to a recent survey this emerging growth in the industries had led many companies to start hiring employees.CEOs are planning to hire more this year. According to a (Pwc) PricewaterhouseCoopers survey of 1200 CEOs in 52 countries it was found that 39% of the industrialists are aiming to increase the number of employees on the other hand 25% plans to cut jobs.


However the plan to create job is very less in the small scale industries and much more concentrated in the large scale emerging markets where the wages are much lower. In spite of the growth and development CEOs are aware of the situation and they are taking their every step very carefully as because they are much concerned about the future. So the rise in job creation is not much as it was expected.


On the other hand almost 81% of the CEOs are confident about the growth of revenue in the next few months. Government is also planning to invest. Still they are not planning to increase their workfoce.And this is a matter of concern for every citizen.


Still things are looking better then the past few months and everyone is trying their best to make things better be it a CEO or an employee to survive in the market and make a better tomorrow.

Do I need to pay off my mortgage before I retire?

There was time when people used to retire Debt free or mortgage free. But now time has changed more and more people are retiring paying their monthly home loan bills. It may be the effect of recent recession, whatever be the reason everyone is suffering more or less from this burden and lost their peace of mind. People are curious to know if they should pay of their mortgage before retirement. Should I pay of the house? Should I use that extra money for an Ira or 401(k)? Or if they should cut back on their retirement savings? It is always a tough decision to make. It’s not all about paying off. Its a combination of Investment, peace of mind also achieving piece of mind with a piece of action. Let’s hear it from Paul Merriman:-

I need financial help

I need financial help. If this defines you then you are not only the one who is shouting for it. Almost all of us are in the same situation be it rich or poor. Every one is in need of financial assistance more or less and also it is one of the facts that human wants are unlimited and this need’s can’t be satisfied.


There are various programs to help you out, but the most important thing is that you need to know and judge your self what sort of financial need you are looking for. You need to define your need first. It may be anything, but don’t get confused and mix up otherwise you will end up in trouble. There may be various financial needs like you may need assistance in Debt counseling, management, Settlement etc.Then you need to look for better Debt Consolidation Company or may be a community site, go to the forum section and get free counseling. But you need to search for the best company. You can search on net.


Like this you may need some other financial assistance like on Housing, Mortgage, Real-estate, Investment, Insurance, and Credit counseling etc.But the main thing is to judge yourself. There are various government and non profit organization where you can get assistance on any issue at no cost; my suggestion will be to go for it first. You can also find these sites on internet. They also provide free assistance online.


So from next time don’t be among one of them who are shouting “I need financial help”.


Help yourself.
