I have asked a number of people in their 20′ or early 30′s the following: “When you went to college and chose a major did you have any idea what job prospects or income you could expect when you graduated?” Surprisingly, almost all have said no. We have a worker shortage in a number of fields and yet, the market isn’t working if people are choosing college majors without knowing how their choice will effect their lifetime financial situation.
Who really should listen any more when Hellicopter Ben speaks. The US debt is at least 37 trillion, and yet gold prices are at the low represented today. And, for that matter, since when does the price of gold reflect any news about the dollar? We are not on a gold standard. Dollars do not represent gold. It remains beyond me why, when “HB” says their will be no QE3, why does this reflect on gold prices going down?
For heavens sake, gold is gold. Period. Nothing to do with the dollar, anymore. and, gold could be $5,000.00 an ounce, and silver about $300.00 if and when the Wall Street fat cats stop holding these gold prices DOWN!! Let’s play the Markets as investors, and manipulate Gold UP instead of DOWN, as it is inevitable that the Gold and Silver price, like all other commodities and services, have a natural tendency to do. Up, up and away!!
The USA and other free countries need to impliment a system whereby a certain percentage of income is automatically installed into a retirement fund for each in dividual. In other words, say that one makes an hourly wage of $30.00. This person needs to automatically install say $12.00 per hour worked into that persons retirement account, for access at retirement.For persons on salary, say $40,000.00 per year, a sum of $18,000.00 per year could go directly to their retirement plan. This money should never be available until retirement. Without exception.
So, in answer to the question of how to increase employment in the USA, and other free countries, I say lets have each individual create our own retirement plan. Take the burden away from the government. People can retire at an earlier age if and when they have the desired funds in their account. Creating a job for someone else. Sooner. So that, after 20 years of employment, here is a job opening for someone else. Instead of age 65 for retirement. See the benefits?
