"Often the difference between a successful man (woman) and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage (faith) that one has to bet on his (her) ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act."

Who's Hiring? Not Who You'd Expect - WSJ.com
Who's Hiring? Not Who You'd Expect - WSJ.com: "But a closer look at hiring provides a more nuanced picture. Some industries have significantly boosted employment over the past year while others continue to shed workers. To be sure, even those adding jobs are hiring far fewer than would be needed to put America's 14.1 million unemployed back to work."

North Dakota, Spurred by Energy and Ag Boom, Has 3.2 Percent Unemployment - Yahoo! Finance
North Dakota, Spurred by Energy and Ag Boom, Has 3.2 Percent Unemployment - Yahoo! Finance: "For at a time of stagnant wages and a high unemployment rate, this vast, lightly populated Peace Garden State is one of the few places in America where jobs are plentiful.
In May nonfarm payroll employment was up 4.3 percent from the year before, and the unassuming state sported a gaudy 3.2 percent unemployment rate. In several counties, the rate is below one percent. The state jobs office has 15,205 listings, up 64 percent from May 2010. North Dakota, which is one of the smallest states by population (about 670,000) and one of the largest geographically, has .7 unemployed persons for every job opening. In the U.S., the labor force participation rate is an anemic 64.2 percent. In North Dakota, it stands at 74 percent."

Need An Income? Is Telecommuting Right For You?
Many of us now live at least partially in a virtual/digital world; much of business is now conducted in and through the electronic superhighway. Where you live is often less important than what you can do; if you can do it on your computer, over the internet, or sometimes even through the various mail and shipping services. In order to profit from this change, you must have imagination, skill, the ability to “think outside of the box” and a sometimes a bit of entrepreneurship. These characteristics may even be more important than technological savvy, which can be learned or even provided by someone else.

Romney to Obama: Quit golf course, work for jobs | Reuters
Romney to Obama: Quit golf course, work for jobs Reuters: "'Obamanomics is not working,' Romney said, standing in a weed-strewn back entrance to the shuttered American Metal Works plant Obama had visited in 2009 as a potential symbol of economic renewal. It closed early this year.
Taking aim at an issue that could be Obama's key vulnerability in the 2012 election, Romney also launched a 40-second Web video blaming the Democratic president's economic policies for 100,000 job losses in Pennsylvania."
