<p>22News takes a look at the local job outlook with Kevin Flynn from future works in Springfield.  <H3>Help answer the question about looking for work</H3>Is inventing something out of the blue then looking for evidence to prove it a good way to find the truth?<br />Yes, this is what religious people have been doing for thousands of years; just inventing some nonsense completely out of the blue, then looking for evidence to prove it to doubting minds. Some religious people respond to this by claiming that scientists just invent their theories out of the blue then look for corroborating evidence, but science doesn’t work like this, does it? Don’t scientists have to make observations first then hypotheses, then test their hypotheses before arriving at theories to explain their observations?<br />

<p> Working Online From Home Offers A Huge Variety of Opportunities A lot of money is being made all over the Internet. If you are not successful yet, have you ever wondered what is keeping you from being a success? Livelihoods and their fortunes are being made on this once-foreign commodity because working online from home has never been simpler. The hardest part about working online from home is making a start. Keep these few things in mind when yo<span id="more-7"></span>u are getting started and you&#8217;ll realize that it&#8217;s no where near as difficult as you might be worried about. Locate people with experience in some kind of work from home online opportunity before you start. You&#8217;ll see that it always helps to have an outside perspective, whether this person is a friend or from a forum that you have found.</p>
<p>Ideally you can get in touch and talk to more than just one person involved in an online marketing business, and ask them how they have apporached it, if they could give you starter advice etc. If ther is a kind of team willing to talk to you and willing to answer your questions, you can rest assured you have the right work from home business idea in front of you. Only scam artists will avoid to let you get in touch with anyone else beyond them. So watch out for good and easy available information. Do those people have access to any kind of web marketing training, have they gone through something recommendable? Have they learned anything and what do they hope to achieve from working online from home?</p>
<p>Make contact with someone experienced so that you will be able to take some advantage from that source of knowledge, and make sure that you aren&#8217;t making basic mistakes. The second thing that you should remember when it comes to online marketing business is that you need to think about your own wants and needs. When thinking over what you are hoping to get out of the experience be realistic. Are you planning to supplement your existing income, or are you looking to replace it entirely? Do you prefer to talk with people on the phone or communicate in other ways? Think about what you are good at and what you enjoy doing.</p>
<p>Figure out which work from home online opportunities are right for you by taking your time as there are a number of decisions to make. There will be a few different choices that you have in front of you, take a look at them and sort them out based on what they offer. Find the option that is perfect for you as plenty of places will give you options when it comes how often you work.</p>
<p>Your online work taking off is heavily dependent on doing research. There will be some feedback on the company that you are looking to work for and you should locate this, but take into consideration that there are two sides to every story. Is the company you have chosen to work for well-regarded? Ensure you make the right decisions so your money making career online gets off to a great start!</p>

<p>In this economy, many people find themselves updating their resumes and looking for a new job. If you find yourself in this situation or know someone who is, it might be possible to deduct some of your job hunting expenses on your tax return. </p>
<p>Here are six things you need to know about deducting costs related to your job search. </p>
<p>1. In order to deduct job search costs, the expenses must be spent on a job search in your current occupation. You may not deduct expenses incurred while looking for a job in a new occupation. </p>
<p>2. You can deduct employment and outplacement agency fees you pay while looking for a job in your present occupation. If your employer pays you back in a later year for employment agency fees, you must include the amount you receive in your gross income up to the amount of your tax benefit in the earlier year. </p>
<p>3. You can deduct amounts you spend for preparing and mailing copies of a resume to prospective employers as long as you are looking for a new job in your present occupation. </p>
<p>4. If you travel to an area to look for a new job in your present occupation, you may be able to deduct travel expenses to and from the area. You can only deduct the travel expenses if the trip is primarily to look for a new job. The amount of time you spend on personal activity compared to the amount of time you spend looking for work is important in determining whether the trip is primarily personal or is primarily to look for a new job. </p>
<p>5. You cannot deduct job search expenses if there was a substantial break between the end of your last job and the time you begin looking for a new one. </p>
<p>6. You cannot deduct job search expenses if you are looking for a job for the first time. </p>

<p>The job market is so bad these days, even the man reputed to have the world&#8217;s largest penis can&#8217;t find work. Jonah Falcon, a 39-year-old New Yorker, has what many men have wished for. But has it made him happy? Or rich? A 1999 HBO documentary brought Falcon enduring notoriety, at least in some circles. His manly parts, in an aroused state, were measured at 13.5 inches &#8212; the longest ever recorded on film. That&#8217;s the length of an average wine bottle, certainly something a lot of guys would &#8230;  <H3>Help answer the question about looking for work</H3>Is inventing something out of the blue then looking for evidence to prove it a good way to find the truth?<br />Yes, this is what religious people have been doing for thousands of years; just inventing some nonsense completely out of the blue, then looking for evidence to prove it to doubting minds.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ClP7Jc7ac5c/2.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="65 and Up and Looking for Work"></div>
<p> It is well known that during the nation’s gale-force recession, many older Americans who dreamed of retirement continued to work, often because their 401(k)’s had plunged in value    In fact, there are more Americans 65 and older in the job market today than at any time in history, 6.6 million, compared with 4.1 million in 2001.</p>
<p>Less well known, though, is that nearly half a million workers 65 and older want to work but cannot f<span id="more-13"></span>ind a job — more than five times the level early this decade and this group’s highest unemployment level since the Great Depression.</p>
<p>The situation is made more dire because of numerous recent trends: many people over 65 have lost their jobs as seniority protections have weakened, and like most other Americans, a higher percentage of them took on debt than in previous generations.</p>
<p>The expectation once was to pay off your 30-year mortgage before you retired, or come close. Instead, the level of indebtedness among older Americans has risen faster than in any other age group, partly because so many obtained second mortgages to take money out of their homes.</p>
<p>This financial squeeze is one reason President Obama has proposed giving a special $250 one-time payment to all Social Security recipients.</p>
<p>Many out-of-work older Americans complain that they face foreclosure or have had to give up their car.</p>
<p>“It’s a big deal for a lot of these people not to find a job,” said David Certner, legislative policy director for AARP. “That so many of them are still trying to find work shows how bad the economic situation is. A lot of people normally give up at that age.”</p>
<p>The unemployment rate for older Americans is still much better than for others — 6.7 percent compared with 9.8 percent in the general population. But 6.7 percent is more than double the level of two years ago — and far higher than the minuscule 1.9 percent rate early this decade.</p>
<p>And unemployed older workers stay out of work longer — 36.5 weeks on average, 40 percent longer than for the unemployed in general.</p>
<p>Patricia Warmhold, who has worked as a translator and telemarketer, would love to retire, but at age 67, she says that is out of the question.</p>
<p>Her mortgage payment is nearly $1,500 a month, and her car payments and auto insurance are another $350. She receives $1,071 a month in Social Security and $918 in pension.</p>
<p>“I have very little after the mortgage,” she said.</p>
<p>Ms. Warmhold, who speaks German, French and Creole, was laid off a year ago from her job as an interpreter for a law firm. “I’ve been looking for jobs ever since,” she said. “I applied to Nassau County and Suffolk County, and they don’t call back.”</p>
<p>A divorce worsened her financial situation, although her mother, who is in her 90s, helps by sometimes sending her $100.</p>
<p>“In a month’s time, I sent out 101 job applications,” she said, including more than 50 to school districts, to no avail.</p>
<p>The recession has battered young, middle-aged and old, although several modern trends have left older workers more vulnerable than in the past — for instance, the shift toward 401(k)’s and away from traditional pensions that give retirees a monthly stipend for life has pressured many Americans to continue working well past 60.</p>
<p>Another force pushing Americans to delay retirement is that the percentage of companies that provide health coverage to retirees is half what it was two decades ago. Moreover, the age to obtain full Social Security benefits has increased to at least 66 for people born after 1942, from its traditional 65.</p>
<p>The median income for those 65 and over was just $18,208 in 2008 — a quarter of them had incomes under $11,139, according to Patrick Purcell, an expert on older workers and pensions with the Congressional Research Service.</p>
<p>The average Social Security recipient age 65 and over receives just $12,437 in annual benefits, he said, and among individuals 65 and older who received income from financial assets, half received less than $1,542 last year.</p>
<p>While Social Security keeps most seniors above the poverty line, there are a substantial number near poverty “who are just getting by,” said Richard W. Johnson, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute. Many economists say it is good that Americans are working later in life — many are living longer and able to contribute longer.</p>
<p>Still, many older job seekers insist they are losing out because of age discrimination. Last year, nearly 25,000 workers filed age discrimination complaints, a 29 percent jump over 2007, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.</p>
<p>“I often get told that I’m overqualified,” said Barbara Brooks, 71, who retired in 2003 after 30 years as an administrative assistant at the University of California, Los Angeles. She said being told that is code language for “you’re too old.” But Ms. Brooks said she wanted to work — and needed to — citing her monthly mortgage of $1,500, which eats up half her monthly pension.</p>
<p>“I would like to be able to treat myself to a couple of dinners, maybe a movie,” Ms. Brooks said. “I think as long as people have excellent skills, and they can get around like a 40-year-old — I’ve been told I look 40 or 50 — why shouldn’t I work?”</p>
<p>For years, unemployment among older Americans was largely ignored because so few of them were jobless. But now more than a million Americans over age 60 are unemployed, two-and-a-half times the level two years ago.</p>
<p>And at least jobless workers 65 and over are guaranteed health coverage through Medicare. Workers laid off before that age often have to fend for themselves to obtain health insurance, which is often prohibitively expensive for those over 60.</p>
<p>One such worker is Michael Husar, 62, a former engineering manager who spent 38 years with General Motors and then its Delphi auto parts spinoff. Mr. Husar, a resident of Scottsdale, Ariz., retired in 2003 at age 56, but as a result of Delphi’s bankruptcy, he now has to purchase his own health insurance. He pays $1,600 a month, which translates to $19,200 a year.</p>
<p>Despite two engineering degrees, his search for consulting work has come up empty in recent months.</p>
<p>“There are two reasons I feel a need to continue working,” he said. “One, I still have a lot to offer, and two, I need the money.”</p>
<p>Alicia H. Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, says older workers have fared better by and large than younger workers in this recession. The percentage of workers ages 25 to 54 with jobs has fallen to 75 percent, from nearly 80 percent two years ago, while the percentage of older Americans with jobs has risen slightly, to 16.3 percent.</p>
<p>But that is fewer than the number who want to work.</p>
<p>Patricia Piazza, 66, who worked for Chrysler for 30 years as an analyst, knows that all too well.</p>
<p>She and her 72-year-old husband, a longtime employee at General Motors Acceptance Corporation, had planned to retire by now, but she is hunting for job, and he recently landed one with the local transit system.</p>
<p>Their home in Warren, Mich., has dropped $100,000 in value, Ms. Piazza said, while their pensions, as former nonunion employees, will be far less than anticipated because of the auto company bankruptcies.</p>
<p>Chrysler recently took away her life insurance policy and optical coverage, she said.</p>
<p>“It’s like the bottom fell out of everything” she said. “This isn’t the way we planned retirement.”</p>
