Abstract The American economy is driven by business and industry and the ability to create jobs. As technology advances, demographics change, and globalization occur it is of the utmost importance for America’s business and industry to examine their workforce needs. Businesses will need to ask themselves important questions regarding how they will keep up with current technologies, train existing employees, find and hire new employees that meet their needs - both educationally and technically - and continue to keep up with worldwide fluctuations that occur within their trades. One of the major realities facing business and industry is the shortage of a high-skilled, well educated workforce. America could face losing many more jobs.
In the case study involving the purchasing and operation issues of Dryden Inks, the purchasing agent, Jane Waterman worked an excessive amount of overtime during her time at the company. Dryden Inks started as a family business and grew along with their competition, which had become much stronger and then developed a pressure regarding their prices.

She wanted to contribute to the company in a way that would make their day-to-day operations become more productive and efficient. Certain problems in this case are having an outdated and no comprehensive inventory that causes their control system to reflect improper supply amounts.
Literacy as Power even states that literacy education creates a critical consciousness where societies can analyze their conditions and “engage in effective actions for a just society. The main limitation of using literacy as a tool for social change is seen every day in the American economy. The mismatch of the educational level of the work force compared to the job opportunities is by far the biggest limitation. America has humans with masters degrees working minimum wage jobs. When Sylvia Scribner uses the term “literacy as a state of grace” I take it as when you are reading something and it changes your mind and actions.
Justine Pregler Bcor 2300 The main concepts behind Ron Alsop’s article “The ‘Trophy Kids’ Go to Work” is a basic outlay of how the Millennial generation is currently entering the workforce and within doing so is causing other generations before them to adapt to their new style and expectations of how to be managed. Some of the main factors that set the millennial generation apart from those before it is the overwhelming thought that they were ‘coddled’ by their parents and teachers their whole lives resulting in a generation of individuals who feel a sense of entitlement within life and within the workforce.

In the report that I have been asked to prepare, we are going to look at all of the benefits a company can gain from providing this service to their employees. What I am referring to is a term called tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement is a “program designed to support associates with personal and professional development by increasing their knowledge and skill level” (Publix, 2012). This is a program that not all employers offer, therefore if your company does, I highly suggest that you take them up on it.

There are numerous reasons and the solutions to the issue of overpriced text book. In this essay, I seek to argue that students should pay their textbook fees without depending upon the schools.
Good Work Ensures Employment Success With increased attention to skill standards and worker certification, people tend to consider their qualifications solely in relationship to the occupational skills they have acquired. This publication addresses the myth that skill competencies alone ensure employment and discusses the value of continuous learning, emotional intelligence, networking, flexibility, and commitment to business objectives as other keys to workplace success. A Graduation Certificate Can Get You in the Door Although it is true that academic degrees, skill certifications, and other documentation of accomplishments provide access to employment, they are significant only at the time of the job offer and its acceptance. Skills that a person has today may be obsolete tomorrow; knowledge that has current significance to society may be insignificant in the future. Technology is the most obvious example.

And then, our nation needs good servant such as qualified and talented staffs.
