Job Market an Extra Hard Test for New College Graduates
This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http The month of June means one more big test for many students finishing college — a test of the job market.

That was five percentage points higher than the national rate.The National Association of Colleges and Employers says about one-fourth of those who applied for a job have found one.

He is still looking for a job.He said: “Once you get noticed by a company, it gets a lot easier, but it’s so hard to get noticed because there’s so many people looking for so few jobs.”One way to get noticed is through an internship program, says Reuben Smith-Vaughn, another graduate of American University.

Barclay Simpson Releases 2012 Corporate Governance Market Reports
(PRWEB UK) 31 January 2012
The annual Barclay Simpson market reports on corporate governance recruitment were released today. In addition to the overall report providing an overview of all areas of corporate governance recruitment, there are specific reports for:
Internal Audit
Risk Management
Compliance
Legal
Information Security
Based on 22 years of specialising in corporate governance recruitment, the reports remain essential reading for corporate governance practitioners.
The reports assess economic trends in relation to the corporate governance environment and contain everything people working in corporate governance need to know about the recruitment market, the availability of corporate governance jobs, potential career prospects and how they can best develop their careers. They also provide perspective and insight into the corporate governance recruitment market for employers.
Overall picture
In the first six months of 2011, the corporate governance recruitment market appeared reassuringly normal. Outside of the public sector, demand was spread across the various sectors of the economy and candidate shortages were as evident as at any time in the past.
However, the overall economic environment was far from normal, with the sovereign debt issues within the Eurozone becoming an ever darker cloud on the horizon.
In the second half of 2011, as the Eurozone debt crisis escalated, it generated uncertainty that started to have a significant impact on businesses and on corporate governance recruitment.
Whilst companies were demonstrating the desire to recruit by registering vacancies and conducting interviews, they became more reluctant to make offers of employment. The Barclay Simpson Placement Index shows that corporate governance placements in the final quarter of 2011 were just half the number achieved during the peak in 2010.
This slowdown had a corresponding effect on salary increases which rapidly dropped back from the levels of the first six months of 2011.
2012 is likely to be a pivotal year for the corporate governance recruitment market where the need to recruit will be finely balanced against Eurozone inspired uncertainties.

16th November 2011 – Daily market analysis by Alistair Cotton
Alistair Cotton is a Corporate Dealer at Currencies Direct UK, lends us his expertise on a daily basis. Foreign Exchange (FX) Market analysis is a daily market overview and commentary BoE set to announce inflation projections UK inflation dropped from 5.2 per cent in the year in September to 5 percent in October with the Supermarket price war the main contributing factor behind the decline. The fall comes as a welcome relief to the Bank of England, who have long suggested inflation will begin to fall back but the slight worry is that the main reason for the drop is something the bank did not (at least publicly) suggest would be behind the decline. That may be a good or bad thing depending on the next few months, with a fuel duty rise in January set to add around 0.1 percentage points to inflation the Governor will continue to pin his hopes on declines in the price of energy and commodities to bring inflation back towards the 2 per cent target level. This morning is packed full of important UK data, with Jobless claims, ILO unemployment rate and the Bank of England Inflation report due where the Governor will set out the banks estimates for the questions above. The inflation figure barely registered on Sterling’s radar, trading in the Pound has been completely dominated by the risk-on, risk-off trading via the Euro- this has been taking place over the last month and the trend looks set to continue into the weekend.

‘Put-Backs,’ ‘Robo-Signers’ Put New Pressure on US Housing Market
I’m Alex Villarreal with the VOA Special English Economics Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Since January, lenders have seized or begun the process to seize about two million American homes. In September alone, banks and other financial companies reclaimed over one hundred thousand properties because of unpaid loans. That was the most yet since the housing collapse that led to the recent recession. Now, efforts to speed a housing recovery have hit new problems. These include questions about whether banks have acted unlawfully in reclaiming some homes. Reports of abuses have grown with talk lately of “robo-signers.” These are employees who sign foreclosure forms without taking the required legal steps or even reading the paperwork. They simply act like robots. In some cases, documents may have been falsified. In October, the top law enforcement officials in all fifty states announced an investigation of big servicers of home loans. Servicers receive the payments from borrowers and might also hold the loans. Among the targets of the attorney-general investigations are Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Ally Financial. An Ally employee admitted robo-signing thousands of foreclosures each month.The Obama administration has launched its own investigation. But the administration has not supported the idea of a temporary suspension of all foreclosures. Officials say this could endanger the slow economic recovery. Twenty-three states require a court to approve a …
