New Report Shows Continued Jobs Shortage – News Video on Youtube Highlights Network Marketing Provides Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs in Booming Anti-Aging Sector
Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 28, 2012
MLM Network Marketing provides opportunities for women entrepreneurs in booming anti-aging sector, skincare products popular with aging boomers.
The U.S. Department of Labor releases its closely watched monthly jobs report, which may show modest improvement in the jobs picture but likely also will highlight a continued jobs shortage with millions of long-term unemployed Americans still struggling to find work in a bad economy. Todays Bureau of Labor Statistics report follows last months report showing the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.3 percent.
Although economists predict some improvement in the jobs picture, they do not expect to see significant movement in a job market in which the unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for 42 consecutive months and the average length of joblessness for those remaining in the labor force is nearly 39 weeks. These data exclude the millions of Americans who have stopped looking altogether and dropped out of the workforce. Six million job seekers have exhausted their unemployment benefits since the start of the economic downturn in 2007, according to a National Employment Law Project report.
With nearly 13 million Americans unemployed, and 21 million either under- or unemployed, sustained strong job growth is needed just to make a dent in the problem, according to recent statements from the Federal Reserve. Small businesses, many started by women, remain the nations primary creator of new jobs.
Over the past year, statistics show high numbers of women leaving the workforce due to the Great Recession and for personal considerations. Many women leave the labor force temporarily or permanently to care for children and other family members, making work-from-home careers an attractive option that provides the flexibility necessary to balance work and family responsibilities.
And the historic period of high unemployment is fueling consideration of alternative careers, with many women entrepreneurs exploring work-from-home opportunities including new ventures in multi-level marketing focused on the booming anti-aging sector.
Reports show that despite the challenging economic outlook women entrepreneurs are capitalizing on new work-from-home opportunities in MLM marketing, an alternative to traditional office jobs, starting their own successful businesses from home and making money on their own terms.
According to reports, as the nations population ages demand is expected to rise for such anti-aging therapies as skincare products and vitamin supplements, a network marketing segment poised for expansion as the nations aging baby boomers start to retire.
Direct selling is the sale of a consumer product or service, person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location, marketed through independent sales representatives who are sometimes also referred to as consultants, distributors or other titles.
Just about any product or service can be purchased through direct selling somewhere in the world. Many people think of cosmetics, wellness products and home d

Economic News & Viewer Email
Quick news update for March 3rd, 2013. Also a great email from a viewer. Thanks! Letter: I’m very curious/confused about precious metals as an ‘investment’ or an ‘insurance’. My own research from professionals on Youtube videos like Eric Sprott/Mike Maloney/David Morgan etc, show that they sometimes interchange between investment/insurance. I know that gold and silver is an insurance aka ‘hedge’ against currency debasement. When pricing gas to dollars we get a exponential curve with a sharp rise on the right of the graph. When gas is priced to gold or silver it remains flat surprisingly. Someone who has 90% junk silver can fill up gas today with a few coins at some stations that take silver or after selling silver at the coin shop. It’s like a time machine. I’ve always thought that silver was a monetary bookmark, a chance to buy things in the future at today’s prices. An anaology would be if you had a tv/cell/internet package that you know will jump in costs next year but you get a promo to continue paying at this year’s cost for another year. So whatever fiat people put into gold and silver today, it won’t make them a millionaire in hyperinflation scenerio, but let them still have purchasing power when everyone else still holding paper become beggars. I guess it is an investment that has no yields, not a productive asset, but maintains the wealth. It is a metal cup to hold the labor and time over a fiat paper cup. Someone told me that silver and gold will make me rich …
