Remember, Over the last 14 years, I have done everything I can to help as many #jobseekers as possible via Power Point presentations, documents , speaking engagements and now LinkedIn presentations that LinkedIn promotes for me. I also, whenever possible, scroll down my feed and every time I see a person that is #opentowork, I drop an invite to my next #LinkedInLive event or if I am not having one my #YouTube page that has hundreds of videos and audio events. I know that I have helped thousands of people in some way to get out of the canyon called #Unemployment and back into the job world. I could've charged a lot of money to a lot of people over the years because my stuff works and it works fast if you are someone that goes and attacks challenges. I don't charge people a lot of money because they need their money to eat and pay their rent and provide for their family when they are unemployed because they don't know when that nightmare will end. That is why I don't make it a giant moneymaking endeavor. I do this from the heart because I never forget how bad it felt to be unemployed and how awful every day was until I knew what my next job was. That said, I cannot believe when someone is offered free help from someone who has been doing it for as long as I have that they would ignore my invite and not come to the event. All I will say is here is an invite to my next event and if you are a #jobseeker you should come because something I say will help you to get in next great opportunity. It's different for every person, but something will resonate. With all of the people being mistreated and ghosted and punched in the face on this platform by people who have no interest in helping, I offer all I can give you to help you get back on your feet.

During an interview with the ‘Morning Report', Prime Minister Christopher Luxon confirmed that orders for the homeless in Auckland's CBD to move on were “definitely a consideration”. He later stated, that “Aucklanders don't feel safe going into the central city”, and both Central government and Auckland Council are considering how they can move homeless people out of the CBD ahead of summer. This follows previous reports that the Government was considering a rough sleeping ban for central Auckland. This news comes as Stats NZ released their annual unemployment figures this week. The results show that national unemployment has risen to a nine-year high at 5.3%, with the New Zealand youth taking most of the damage.

They also spoke about the Government's new action plan to combat methamphetamine use.

The University of Michigan's November consumer sentiment survey, and October private sector job cuts tracked by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, have raised concerns the US economy may be entering a recession. But data from ADP, state-level initial jobless claims, and the Chicago Fed's unemployment estimate, all paint a picture of a healthy economy. A closer look at the Challenger data, however, suggests the reason for job cuts is Artificial Intelligence. While AI might be able to displace humans in technology companies, it is unlikely to replace workers in many other sectors anytime soon. Still, it is clear labour is a primary worry in the market.

The recent Israeli peace swap and cessation of hostilities is a welcome respite, but it is more difficult to get the logistical issues resolved. A 2-state solution is the only logical answer to bring peace. US and Europeans should be committed to Ukrainian sovereignty and security; and not kowtow to Russia. Blanket tariffs are taxes mostly on the consumer. Unemployment, Inflation and costs of living have risen dramatically. The US helped create the UN, Bretton Woods Institutions and a stable world order, which are under attack. China is moving rapidly to fill the US void in the WHO, the UN, and other institutions to be the world leader. A power vacuum will not remain long without being filled.
Senator Lana Theis, representing Michigan's 22nd Senate District, joins Steve to discuss her newly introduced legislation designed to protect Michigan residents from unfair unemployment clawbacks. During the pandemic, thousands of hardworking Michiganders were told they were eligible for unemployment benefits, only to be hit with demands to repay those funds years later due to government errors. Senator Theis's bill aims to stop the state from punishing citizens for bureaucratic mistakes and ensure that those who acted in good faith aren't left financially devastated. She explains how her proposal restores fairness, accountability, and confidence in the state's unemployment system, while providing relief to families still struggling to recover from the economic fallout of recent years.
When the US Federal Reserve reduced its interest rate by a quarter percentage point last week, establishing the target range at 3.75-4 percent, it was not a bold stimulus but rather a cautious act of navigation. A prolonged government shutdown has left the Fed operating with limited information on inflation and jobs. For India, this development influences the global cost of capital, investor behaviour, and the overall pace of trade. The rate cut was determined under extraordinary conditions. US GDP grew at an annualised rate of 3.8 percent in the second quarter, but more recent indicators suggest a cooling trend. Unemployment has risen to 4.3 percent, job creation has decelerated, and consumer spending is stabilising. Although inflation has decreased to approximately 3 percent year-on-year, it still exceeds the Federal Reserve's 2 per cent target. Typically, policymakers would review fresh September data before making decisions, but since those reports never came, the Federal Reserve had to rely on August data.

I am hoping events this week, at least in some small way, teach us all a simple economic lesson or two. Lesson 1: the red meat numbers. We export a fortune in meat to the world. The critical part of it is it is the best of quality – quality will always beat quantity. Why? Because the world will always contain large numbers of people unaffected by economic tides, and people with money like good stuff. There are some things in life beyond the prevailing tide – Château Lafite, Bugatti cars, Rolex watches, and New Zealand meat and indeed wine. Not literally, but you get the point. Onions will sell better in Europe because of our free trade agreement with the EU. We need fewer tariffs in that case because onions are onions, but meat is about quality. Like kiwifruit is. Like great Boudreaux wine is. That's not to say tariffs are good business, because they are not. And lord only knows how rich we could be if the world really was truly tariff free, but for the here and now our red meat numbers into America are unaffected because people will pay for quality. Lesson 2: the job numbers. More people, young people, have stayed in or gone back to school because if they didn't, they would be jobless. The 15 to 24 age group have an unemployment rate of over 15%. It's shocking. Why? Because a constrained market doesn't provide work for people with limited or no skills. Young people start out with the disadvantage of no experience, add no skills to that and you are toast. This is not new, but it is new to the current lot, who clearly never got the previous lot's memo that it's hard enough as it is to get into the job market without turning up ill-prepared. But here is what I know about life and economies: it doesn't matter what the economic circumstances are, good people with good skills and good attitude and good determination are always, always, in demand and will do well. And good stuff, well made, with a story, high in quality, will always, always, do well. Quality, whether in person or product, is recession proof. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Economic Growth Minister's confident the economy will turn a corner soon. Unemployment's reached 5.3% in the September quarter – the highest it's been since 2016. 160 thousand Kiwis have been out of work and looking for a job, the most since 1994. Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking unemployment may rise further this quarter, but there are positives, like the increase in hours worked and a move from part time to full time work. She says these unemployment figures do bounce around a bit, so she certainly won't say unemployment is at its peak. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One expert is warning the job market won't get easier any time soon. The latest Stats NZ data shows the unemployment rate has reached an almost nine-year high of 5.3 percent in the September quarter.
