http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com The legal services sector shed 1,100 jobs in October as contraction in the general economy continued to hit law firm employment, according to figures released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overall, jobs in the legal industry have shrunk 1.1 percent since October 2007, to 1.16 million employees. Those include not just lawyers but anyone on payroll, including paralegals, public relations specialists, secretaries and many others. The latest numbers reflect a series of layoffs by law firms over the past several months, made worse by the recent dissolution of San Francisco’s Heller Ehrman and the expected closure of business law firm Thelen. The last time so few people were employed in legal services was in December 2005, according to bureau figures.

Bank of New York Mellon Corp., the world's largest custodian of financial assets, plans to cut 4 percent of its workforce, or 1,800 people, as record declines in global securities markets hurt profits. Layoffs at the New York-based company, which employs more than 43,000 people, were announced in a statement this week. Reductions by business units and regions have yet to be determined. BNY Mellon's third-quarter profit fell 53 percent, after it propped up 10 money funds that owned debt issued by the bankrupt Lehman Brothers. Its investment assets declined 4.1 percent to $1.07 trillion last quarter, and custody assets fell 2.6 percent to $22.4 trillion. As a custody bank, BNY Mellon provides record-keeping and administrative services to clients such as mutual funds and pension plans. They earn more when markets are active or volatile and their fees are linked to the asset levels overseen for customers. BNY Mellon is one of two clearing banks that enable the purchase and sale of US Treasuries.

Phelps, Coach To Run Olympian's Home Pool http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com Michael Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman, have formed a partnership to operate the pool where the Olympic swimmer began training at age 7. That partnership, Aquatic Ventures, has formally announced that it is taking over at Baltimore, Maryland’s Meadowbrook Aquatic Center and the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, which produced Phelps and six other Olympians over four decades. Bowman said he and Phelps will continue to balance the center's offerings between recreational and competitive swimming. Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics in August, will be busy with training once the new year begins, but he'll be more involved in decisions as time goes on, Bowman said. Bowman began coaching Phelps at NBAC when he was 11. After the Athens Olympics in 2004, where Phelps won six gold medals, the swimmer followed Bowman to the University of Michigan, where he was head coach of the men's swim team. Now they are returning to Baltimore together. Bowman will continue to coach Phelps and other swimmers in addition to his duties as CEO.

"The president will have to have a very organized transition to be able to address it." The country is waiting and focusing diligently on this next election because all of our futures hang on the balance of the next presidents decisions. We have 77 days left and it is reported that neither spokesperson for Senator Obama or Senator Mccain would like to comment on the transition. The global financial crisis needs to be at the top of the list along with national security and the war in Iraq. Good Luck Mr. President we can’t wait to see you .

Hispanics Pump $14.5 Billion into Michigan http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com The first study to measure the economic impact of Southeast Michigan's Hispanic community finds that Hispanics contribute $14.5 billion to the regional economy and support more than 180,000 jobs. The study, announced at the annual Hispanic Business Expo and Economic Summit, characterized Hispanics as an "incredibly vital economic cog" in Southeast Michigan. "We've always known Hispanics really contribute to economic growth, but we've never had anything in writing," Belda Garza, a summit attendee, told the Detroit News Every 100 jobs held by Hispanics in the region help support an additional 95 jobs, the study found. This is mostly because Hispanics make up nearly 20 percent of workers in the manufacturing sector in Southeast Michigan. The number is comparable to the jobs spun off by other ethnic groups, which create an average of 50 to 130 jobs for every 100 workers, Thompson said. Lyke Thompson of Wayne State University's Center for Urban Studies conducted the study, with help from the Hispanic Business Alliance and Center for Chicano-Boricua Studies. The region's Hispanic population has risen 28 percent since 2000, according to the Census Bureau.

Overly optimistic developers, poor government oversight, speculators and media hype are to blame for the state of Florida’s housing crisis, according to real estate über-developer Jorge Perez of the Related Group of Florida. Perez gave the keynote address Encompass, an annual networking exposition hosted by the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, according to the South Florida Business Journal. The 57-year old real estate entrepreneur, who is worth $1.8 billion according to Forbes, spoke about the causes and the fallout of the housing meltdown, as well as his long-term outlook for the market. Perez said the housing market in Florida seemed more robust because of the expectation that people from all over the world would keep the market fueled. He was optimistic about future market prospects, saying that there are a number of quality bargains available. He noted that square footage for condos in large Latin American cities are selling at three times the amount of comparable real estate in Miami.

Bank of America's takeover of Merrill Lynch will result in thousands of job losses, Merrill Lynch chief executive John Thain announced. Most of the job cuts will come from IT as well as operations and finance across both banks, Thain said in an interview with Bloomberg. "We haven't mapped it out in terms of actual number of people, but we are committed to saving $7 billion across the combined platforms, and that will be a challenge," Thain said. "Between our two companies, it will be clearly thousands of jobs." Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America is buying Merrill Lynch in a $50 billion deal expected to close in the first quarter, pending shareholder approval. With the purchase, BofA will become the largest financial services company in the world. Manhattan’s Merrill Lynch has one of the largest IT budgets of all investment banks, having spent $546 million in the last quarter on ongoing technology investments and system development initiatives. The firm has already cut more than 5,000 jobs in the past 18 months, reducing headcount to about 60,000. In its quarterly statement released 16 October, Merrill Lynch said it has spent $39 million on restructuring charges, mainly related to severance costs for technology workers.

Women http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com Most human resource professionals are women, but in 2007, 37 of the 50 highest-paid HR executives were men, according to a survey by Equilar, a California-based executive compensation research firm. The data contrast sharply with the gender ratio among HR professionals nationwide. About 70% of the country's 238,000 HR managers and 731,000 HR specialists are women, according to 2007 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The median weekly pay for male HR managers in 2007 was $1,581 – about 47% more than female managers took home. Among rank-and-file employees, men earned $1,037 per week, about 28% more than their female counterparts, the Wall Street Journal reports. One explanation: any companies hire executives from other business areas to lead human resources instead of choosing a director from within the HR department, and men generally outnumber women at the executive level. A separate survey conducted by Salary.com found that only four of the 30 highest paid HR executives were women in 2007. In 2006 and 2005, five and four women were among the 30 top earners, respectively.

EmploymentCrossing Kindred Healthcare, the largest operator of long-term acute-care hospitals in the US, saw its stock fall the most in six years in New York trading. This after reducing its earnings projection for the year and reporting third-quarter preliminary profit that was lower than previously forecast. Gulf Coast hurricanes in Texas and Louisiana cost the company $6 million in the third quarter. “Our New Orleans facility was closed,'' CFO Richard Lechleiter told Bloomberg. ``We also suspended operations in San Antonio, Texas, and Houston. So there wasn't any revenue or patients in the building. “In addition to that there were direct costs associated with the transfer of those patients to other facilities,'' he said. “During the shutdown period, we kept all our staff on payroll.'' Kindred plummeted 33 percent to $14.64 on the New York Stock Exchange composite trading, its steepest drop since October 2002. The company had retreated 12 percent this year as the Standard & Poor's Midcap Health Care Index tumbled 27 percent.

New York City's government, agencies, institutions and private developers are expected to spend $93 billion through 2010 for new roads, office buildings, apartments, and schools, according to a new report. The forecast by the New York Building Congress does not factor in the effects of the recent weeks of global financial turmoil that saw the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers; the pending sale of Bear Stearns, Wachovia and Merrill Lynch & Co; or the problems at AIG. The global financial crisis is expected to cost New York City thousands of high paying Wall Street jobs, plus jobs that support them, such as lawyers, accountants, and restaurant workers. The credit meltdown has prompted Mayor Michael Bloomberg to ask the City Council to lift term limits, to allow him to run for a third term and to use his financial expertise to steer the city through a potential economic storm. Historically, construction spending has lagged during economic downturns, because banks and other lenders and investors have already allocated much of the construction budgets. The effects of a downturn may not be felt until 2010 and beyond, the report said. The Building Congress expects construction spending by year-end to reach a record $33.8 billion, a 16 percent increase over 2007. The coalition of businesses, labor, associations, and governmental organizations representing the design, construction, and real estate interests, sees spending tapering off to $33.4 billion in 2009 and $26.2 billion in 2010.

www.EmploymentCrossing.com President George W. Bush has asked Congress for the authority to spend as much as $700 billion dollars to purchase troubled mortgage assets in the hope of containing the current global financial crisis. "It is a big package because it's a big problem," Bush told reporters at a news conference. "The risk of doing nothing far outweighs the risk of the package." Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, lawmakers and their aides are expected to work through the weekend in an effort to craft a bill swiftly. Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill said they expect the bill to go before a vote within days. Some commentators are worried that such a sweeping piece of legislation, that could fundamentally change how the American economy works, may be passed without full debate and consideration. But Paulson and other officials believe that the lack of easy credit between banks and other financial institutions threatens to inflict serious damage on the economy if not addressed immediately. "This program is intended to fundamentally and comprehensively address the root cause of our financial system's stresses," according to a statement released by the Treasury. The plan is for the government to buy the securities at a discount, hold onto them and then sell them for a profit. The administration's proposal also requests that Congress authorize an increase to the nation's debt ceiling. Currently set for $10.6 trillion in 2009, the proposal requests the limit be increased to $11.3 trillion to allow for the purchases of mortgage-backed assets.
