People began flocking to California when they started hearing stories about the gold rush, dreams of making it rich, gold lying around just waiting for you to grab it. The gold rush began when james w. marshall found some at sutter mill in Coloma californai. He probably shouldn’t have told anybody because after he did about 300,000 people showed up looking for gold, good for making cities out west but bad for james. The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. San Francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852.

Staffing Plan Latoya Glover MTG/431 April 2, 2010 Ben Morris Staffing Plan A staffing plan is a plan that allows the employer or employers to consider and pay attention to the staffing and the gaps. There are many reasons for the loss of employees or staff such as lack of employee engagement, the labor market changing, retirement, and wage inflation because of competition for key skills. In order to successfully run a business a demand forecast has to be considered. A company must consider how many positions is needed, how will competition affect turnover, how many will be retiring soon which will cause turnover, and what positions will become outdated. One will conduct a staffing plan for Red Lobster.
This exploration team reported back to the government about the diverse nature of the west and all that it could offer to the people of USA. In the 1840s it was Oregon above all that attracted settlers. Stories spread of how good the Oregon farming was. It was, however, gold rather than land that triggered off the really big movement to the far West in 1849, when
Melissa Day HRM 587 Professor Stone Week 2 Images of Change November 8, 2013 Change frequently occurs in a company. That change can manifest itself in a change in leadership-like a new CEO, downsizing due to structural reordering, or acquiring new companies to improve business output and diversifying ones product line. From an employee (and for some members of management) standpoint change can cause fear and stress, because change shakes people from where they were comfortable and it asks them to do something different, something they may be uncomfortable with-however, the only constant in life (both personal and professional) is change. For my project, I have selected two companies that have undergone changes throughout the past year:
Gold Rush Oklahoma Land Rush By 1840’s slowly but surely people were entering and moving into California. However, when, in 1848, gold was discovered up by San Francisco, it changed everything (). People began to flock to the area hoping to discover their fortune in gold. Towns began to spring up with thousands of new settlers entering the area. For years this continued even as resources became less and less.
The discovery spread across Newspapers which eventually landed in the hands of President James K. Polk. After he confirmed that the news was valid in his state of the union address in 1848, the rush immediately began. Prospectors began traveling from all over the United States to California via land, and by sea, since it was becoming more accessible at that time. People from all over the world came to California in hopes of hitting jackpot and creating a lifetime of wealth. Although not everyone was able to become wealthy through the gold rush, it did allow business to develop and transformed California in general.
The New York Times claimed that, “When immigrants do take jobs, they’re hard workers” (Preston and Connelly a1). Therefore, it greatly contributes to America’s retirement system. The presence of immigrants also contributes to America’s long term population growth, necessary to stabilize the overall retirement fund. The Springer Science and Business Media’s journal states that some other countries in the world suffer from the labor shortages and a demographic crunch, in which a very small number of workers will be expected to pay the retirement and health care for elderly people (Gold 409). The ratio of retired people to workers is expected to dramatically increase in the coming decades, which would result in significant changes in the Security System of America’s retirement money.
“free-trade advocates suggest helping there workers find new jobs and adjust to the shifting labor market via expanded training and relocation assistance as well as improved unemployment benefits and health insurance to tide workers over between jobs”(Sharon Otterman, 2004, para. 10). While these ideas may sound grand, some of these workers spent thousands of dollars on educations that was believed to be able to help to provide a good living for themselves and family, and suddenly it is taken away and forced to learned something new. Some workers have jobs for maybe over 30 years, they know their jobs very well and these workers could be in their mid-fifties. The older people get the more difficult it is for them to learn new jobs.
Take back your tired, your poor, and your huddled masses! America was once known as the “melting pot” of the world, where any and all were welcomed. However, under the new pressures of a recession, a growing population, and the unemployment issue, many immigrants, both legal and illegal, are being turned away. Harsh, unequal immigration regulations undermine America’s founding principles and contribute to the tensions and discriminations that continue to occur regarding a citizen’s national origin. A standard, across-the-board policy would allow America to continue its “melting pot” legacy while maintaining a feasible economy for all.
