CAMEO Reports: All Eyes on Very Small Business – Congress Considers 11 Micro-related Bills and World Economic Forum in Davos Discusses Self-employment as Job Creation
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 26, 2012
After researching bills in Congress, CAMEO – California Association for Micro Enterprise Opportunity has found 11 micro-related bills in Congress that will be considered for this session that will help very small businesses. In the same week as Congress goes back to work, economic leaders meet in Davos, Switzerland and one of their four main topics is new models of job creation that includes helping the unemployed become self-employed.
Never before has so much attention been on micro-business in Congress and the streets of Davos, said Claudia Viek, C.E.O. of CAMEO. To have leaders abroad and close to home taking action and discussing ways to foster micro-business, confirms what Ive known for 25 years that micro-businesses create jobs and economic growth.
The founder of the World Economic Forum, Professor Klaus Schwab, writes, The key to mitigating a catastrophic situation is to provide young people with the capability to create their own jobs: to move from the pure concept of unemployment to the concept of micro-entrepreneurship. This will require fundamental changes in educational systems, nurturing a societal spirit of entrepreneurial risk-taking,
Bills that are being considered in U.S. Congress encourage self-employment, provide tax credits for investment, offer access to capital for very small businesses and organizations that provide entrepreneurship training programs. More specifically, the bills would:

Congress Weighs Unemployment Benefits Extension
BY ZACH TOOMBS An estimated 1.8 million Americans are set to lose unemployment benefits in January if Congress doesn’t act soon to extend them. CNN has the story. “The federal government supplements the 26 weeks of benefits provided by most states, allowing people up to 99 weeks of aid as long as they’re looking for work. The average weekly benefit is about 0. Under current law, people must file for extended benefits by the end of the year. President Obama wants to push back that deadline for another year.” Traditionally, Democrats have favored extending those benefits and Republicans have resisted. But this year there seems to be more consensus, with GOP House leaders expressing support for the extension if the costs can be offset elsewhere. And with GOP support of high-income tax cuts still a large part of the conversation in Washington, liberals, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, are holding their feet to the fire on the issue of unemployment benefits. “Every poll that I have seen and that you have seen says that it is basically insane. Nobody believes that you continue to give huge tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires and then tell people who are unemployed, ‘Sorry, we cannot continue to extend unemployment (benefits).’ Nobody believes it. Republicans are on the defensive. We’ve got to keep pressing that issue.” Many Republicans, including presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, have voiced discontent for extending unemployment benefits but haven’t gone …

What does this mean? Congress Approve for benefits.?
Question by duh…..: What does this mean? Congress Approve for benefits.?
Unemployment Extension ,July 20, 2010 Senate Vote – Great news for the 2.5 million Americans who have been waiting for help, earlier today the U.S. Senate has finally taken a decisive step towards extending long-term unemployment aid to those who need it.
By a vote of 60-40 the Senate has approved to move forward with reauthorizing unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Since end of May a majority of Republicans and few conservative Democrats have been able to kill bills that were intended to renew the aid. After a final Senate vote, which should go through easily the bill will be sent to the House, which will vote on it on Wednesday and it should land on the president’s desk by the end of week.
Nearly half of the 15 million unemployed in the United States have been jobless for over six months, a record in terms of long-term unemployment since the establishment of statistics on employment had been created in the 1940s. Nearly one quarter of the unemployed have not worked for over a year.
Another positive news for those without work is that people who missed out on unemployment checks will be paid retroactively.
But on the other hand Americans who exhausted all weeks of benefits available before the lapse will not get any money.
Does this mean that the people that have the checks coming in now will not get this? What if they have been jobless for more then six months and still are getting checks?
Funny funny people… Can I get a real person that will not joke around?
