Institute's board chair: Answers to 4.4 million unemployed youth are free markets, 'minimum-wage holiday'

According to the Department of Labor, "

The July 2009 unemployment rates for young men (19.7 percent), women (17.3 percent), whites (16.4 percent), blacks (31.2 percent), Asians (16.3 percent), and Hispanics (21.7 percent) increased from a year earlier. In July 2009, 4.4 million youth were unemployed, up by nearly 1.0 million from July 2008."

Bluegrass Institute's free market champion and Board Chair, Kathy Gornik explains that the Chamber would do well to return to basic rules of free markets and advocate for a "minimum-wage holiday" to open the market to youth looking for jobs. This would ease the burdens of a minimum-wage for companies needing help but without the ability to bring on new, full wage hires. She explains,

It would be a lot easier to provide employment for these economically disadvantaged 18 to 24 year olds by having a "minimum-wage holiday". The idea would be to suspend, say just for the summer, the minimum wage law just for this group. It would be interesting to see how employers would respond. My bet is that you would see a lot of $5.00/hr. jobs done the normal way, not through a special program. The employment experience would be wonderful for these kids, and it would give them the work experience they need to get their foot on the low rung of the employment ladder with a basis for moving up, rather than standing on the ground and nowhere to go. And they'd be doing it all on their own.


The root of the problem is the minimum wage law. I wish the Chamber could promote the fundamental principles that determine a successful economy rather than support programs that must band-aid the damage caused by the violation of those principles. I know it would be politically unpopular, but the truth often is. If there was a group I would hope could stand up for free trade and rights of contract (violated by minimum wage law), I would hope it would be the Chamber. Alas, I remain disappointed.

Hey Guys
I've been around here for a while now, and I finally found something worth writing about: I found a great deal on custom [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b] Wood Entertainment Centers[/b][/url]. These guys have 24/7 call-in service and they installed AND delivered my custom [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b] Computer Armoires [/b][/url]all for Free!!! I just bought from them, and I've never had a more seamless internet buy -they ACTUALLY called me to confirm the order and talk about delivery time… unreal!

Have a good One

Some may feel squeamish about eating it, but rabbit has a fan base that grows as cooks discover how easy they are to raise — and how good the meat tastes.

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here. I decided to find a good vendor of electronic cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for normal smokes. Im deciding between either greensmoke or blucigs. Anyone using either of these?

Hey

I wanted to share with you a great site I just came across teaching [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] like they teach it in the Israeli Army (IDF) If you guys have seen the Discovery Channel TV Show called Fight Quest you would have seen their chief instructor Ran Nakash there featured on their [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] segment. Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?


Best

Hiya

2010 was not thriving to be just another unfamiliar year for me , but a unimpaired new decade. While most set goals relating to body issues, economic goals, employment advancement, relationship satisfaction -- I decided to overthrow my addiction, specifically my porn addiction.

I'm sad to say that I have irrevocably failed to keep my addiction at bay and I have decided to watch some porn again. Do any of you guys know where I can find some quality porn pictures or porn:adult videos?? I'm specifically looking to download stuff without watermarks and good quality dvd rips to raise a nice and tidy collection. No tube crap. I've been searching for the past 7 hours to get hold of something like this. This is the first time I've visited www.blogger.com but so far I have only found a few videos and picz shared by the members. I got some great content from a guy calling himself ZefUnfissardceasp from another popular forum but my appetite is still not quenched. This is one of the videos he gave me just to give you an example of the quality I'm looking for:[url="http://pornvb.com/pro-porn-clips/62132-my-friends-hot-mom-collections-updated-daily.html"]my-friends-hot-mom-collections-updated-daily-pornvb porn forum[/url]

Anyway, I hope this is the right category to post this question in.
