I’m Ok, but you look a little stressed. Remember I had sent my CV to two companies last week? Those two haven’t shown any interest in me so far. Neither has the one I had applied for three weeks back. Do you expect them to come back to you in less than 10 working days? They will need days to go through all the CVs they have got. In my opinion, something else is the reason for that. My father always says that getting a good job was easier before than it is now. He says people were smarter in the past than they are now. Interesting outlook, but I am afraid I can’t agree with him. He says, for example, he has only got a High School Diploma and he was offered a job immediately after he completed his school studies in 1980. On the other hand, look at …show more content…
There were only very few young people with a High School Diploma in 1980. So it was very easy for them to get jobs, where as we have got many more post graduates in Oman today. Obviously, it is not easy for a High School graduate to get a steady job. Are there any jobs left for us, I wonder. More companies and industries are coming up every day. having no job, increasing all over the world? In my opinion, unemployment is one of the biggest issues today. Young people without a job is certainly an issue, but the rate of unemployment is actually coming down in many countries. For example, in the USA, the UK and Germany it has decreased very noticeably in the last 7 years. In the year 2010, which is 7 years back, the US had 10% of its workforce without any job. However, the US rate of unemployment has come down to nearly 4% now. That’s good news, but the fall in the price of oil is getting me worried. What’s going to happen if it continues to fall like this? Oh Hamed, you should play less football and read more newspapers! As a matter of fact, the price of oil is increasing: it is standing at $67 today compared with $29.64 in January
Anxiety. Regret. Frustration. Restlessly glancing at the clock, cringing every time I do. Staring at a blinking cursor, waiting for inspiration. Spending a restless night trying to squeeze out something to turn in the next day. This is a process known all too well by me, and most high schoolers in America, one known as: Procrastination. Procrastination is something easily avoided, and yet, seems to be one of the biggest causes for low grades in most students’ lives. It’s a tempting prospect, putting off your responsibilities to do something enjoyable, but it should be avoided at every possibility. Procrastination causes your grades to suffer, causes your mental health to suffer, and causes you to learn bad habits for the future.

Immigrants. People who we natives have labeled as “aliens” and “foreigners” at a time when we should’ve welcomed them with open arms, when we should’ve embraced them with our compassion and considered them with our empathy. Isn’t this humanity? Treating others as we expect to be treated? But what have we done besides ostracizing them? Nothing. Despite the many benefits that they bring along with them, we insist on focusing all attention to the few temporary disadvantages that they have. In reality, if we natives had conducted the least bit of professional research of the benefits versus the disadvantages of immigrants, we would come to the realization that their benefits outweigh their costs, and that they are much more valuable to our society, then we expected them to be.
applied and now I have a job at last YES! It is exciting there. They
We Americans demand for cheaper goods and cheaper goods result in a thing called “sweatshops”. Sweatshops are places where they have workers in foreign places working for cheap money because they know they will work for anything to be able to making a living.
When I was a young, naive, and reckless preteen I was arrested for stealing panties. Yes, panties. You see, I was under the impression that attending junior high without proper matching undergarments would immediately be cause for ridicule from my fellow classmates in the locker room. However, my mother did not see the necessity for such things and refused to spend money on costly, unnecessary expenses. I desperately needed them and shoplifted a lovely red pair. I was caught, arrested, ashamed and gracefully served my sentence with a newfound respect for the law. No matter how severe or minute a crime is, it should not go unpunished. A teenager committing petty theft and an immigrant crossing our borders illegally are both crimes in the United States. Billions of dollars and resources are spent each year in an effort to apprehend vagrant aliens who illegally cross our borders into the United States. Illegal immigration is a burden thrust upon the United States yielding
Homelessness is not a disease. It is not a virus, not a condition, nor bacteria. Homelessness is a state where a person does not have a permanent residential. This includes people who live in shelters, motels and on the streets. They do not have homes because of the rising prices of housing. In New York City alone, 61,931 people are homeless as of September 2016. This is an epidemic in New York, not because of the sheer number of homeless people, but because of the lack of support from the local government. Homeless people are ignored by citizens, attacked by youth and abused by police officers. The New York Police Department even instituted Move Along Policy where homeless people who are idle for too long are forced to move their locations. This could be sitting on a bench for too long or falling asleep in a train station. So displaced citizens are not only homeless, but they are not allowed to reside in familiar locations without fear of being harassed by policemen. The youth of New York City find entertainment in harming homeless people. They would attack them, throwing bottles at them, hitting them, in hopes of knocking them unconcious. And these homeless people who do not have jobs often ask for money in the streets. And people just walk past them without even bothering with them. Because
According to the website of Oil-Price, today’s value for a barrel can be bought at the price of $41.25 this means that oil is not demanded as much as it used to be over the years, because of the awareness of the environment and also because it is a cyclical phenomenon, there’s no actual reason, but the price will eventually rise again. Since oil is used to produce gas, it would come with surprise if the price of gas is low since the oil cost are also low. Gas prices depend on oil costs and oil costs depend on
To understand the increase in gas prices, one must first identify the distribution of dollars paid per gallon at the pump. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (eia) in 2010, the annual average paid at the pump consisted of 68% crude oil, 7% refining, 10% distribution and marketing, and 15% taxes (see Fig.1). This shows an increase of crude oil over the 2000-2009 average of 51%. (e. I. Administration)
Even though the majority of illegal immigrants that come to our country pose little to no threat whatsoever, the US government still keeps them out, in fear that America will turn to chaos if they get what they want. The immigrants are still human, and they deserve a place to rebuild a new life. The immigrants would even become new citizens to help with the booming nation of America. Despite this, most people are opposed to the idea not only because of the threat, but also because it would only dig us deeper into the hole of debt that we’re already in. As of February ninth, the US is 16 trillion dollars in debt.
In 1970 oil reserves became more scarce, leading to a decrease in production, while consumption continued to grow rapidly (Wright, R. T., & Boorse, D. F. 2011). In order to fill the gap between rising demand and falling supply of oil, the United States became more and more dependent on imported oil, primarily from Arab countries in the Middle East. (Wright, R. T., & Boorse, D. F. 2011). As the U.S and many other countries became highly industrialized nations, they became even more dependent on oil imports. With demand being higher than the actual amount of supply, prices kept rising reaching a peak of $140 a barrel in 2008. (Wright, R. T., & Boorse, D. F. 2011).

The main reason for the price increase is that OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) has decided to cut back on its oil production. What is the reason for this? Simply stated, OPEC knows that they have the United States under their control in terms of what price they want to sell crude oil to us at, and how much they want to ship. With the present economic prosperity in the U.S., it didn’t take long for OPEC to seize the opportunity to make more money by cutting production of crude oil, and thus forcing consumers to pay more for fuel. Just how much higher are prices you ask? “Crude-oil prices in early March hit $34 a barrel, while a year earlier it was selling for $12 a barrel, which is nearly a 75% price increase since last year. This equates to an additional 48 cents a gallon” (Logistics Management 15).
The most common causes of unemployment are getting fired and layed off for specific reasons. People might get layed off if a company is going out of business or maybe if there are positions in the company that are no longer needed. It’s difficult to find a job right away after being fired. Companies don’t want to hire someone who has just been fired for reasons such as failure to do a sufficient job, not showing up to work, stealing, etc. It’s also hard to find a job instantly after being layed off. In some cases the economy is down and it is hard to find any work in general.
Youth unemployment is a term used for people between the ages of 15-19, that do not attend school or tertiary level and don't have any form of paid job. There are reasons causing this growing problem. These being;
