If you are here legally, welcome!

Everyone wants what you want, so I would suggest that you start with an area where the climate is closer to where you came from. You will adapt easier. Likely the people around you will enjoy a lot of the same things you do so that you can make new friends with similar interests.

As to finding a job, the American people are quickly losing their jobs because the government has allowed everything to be exported - including their jobs. You are obviously educated, so look for an area with similar occupations available. You obviously are computer literate, so look in the newspapers online. You don%26#039;t need guidance in that area.

The most important thing that you can do to help yourself is to spread the word that you are a legal immigrant (if this is true) so that people can appreciate someone taking the legal steps that we are asking all immigrants to do.

If you know of any illegal immigrants, you need to report them if you are indeed trying to become a US citizen. You will be respected in the US for this. Illegal aliens give legal immigrants a bad name.

I don%26#039;t know if I believe that you are an immigrant - maybe a politician fishing for responses???

What do you think of Mission work in 3rd world countries?student loan

With all due respect to the previous answerer, I don%26#039;t find it hard to believe that you don%26#039;t preach. There are many different Christian perspectives, and the church I belong to would likely have major issues with a missionary who thought that the job should be about preaching. There is no better way to reach people%26#039;s hearts than by loving them, and that implies helping them with their most basic needs.

I think it is a fantastic thing to go into a foreign country to do this kind of work, though it is also a calling, which means that not everyone is meant to do it. If you have reflected on all the difficulties very carefully and still believe you are meant to do this, then good on you! However, there is no shame in deciding that you, with your own personality and strengths, can do better for people right here at home.

Cheers and good luck!

How to deal with this question with the aid of supply-demand diagram?va loan

In theory, the presence of a Disneyland will attract more overseas tourists to come into HK, which means that consumption in the economy will be stimulated. Firms increase output to meet rising demand, which requires more employment; a greater number of workers are needed to produce a greater level of output. In the labour market the demadn curve has shifted to the right [demand increases], which causes the equilibrium employment level to increase. Also, due to the increased demand from increasing tourist volumes Aggregate Demand in the economy increases. So on an AD AS [Aggregate Supply] graph the AD curve moves right, which pushes up the price level [inflation increases].

Hope this helps (I%26#039;m from HK too!).

Can worker and consumer unions help?

Income, wage and wealth disparity continues to grow in the USA. We export factories and industries and good jobs for the benefit of corporations who capitalize on cheap foreign labor. We permit the unfettered illegal immigration of millions of people because our businesses and corporations capitalize on this cheap labor force. A combination of these factors is causing wage levels and our standard of living to decline. Businesses and executives seem immune as companies post record profits, executives make excessive incomes and the Dow Jones celebrates with new highs. A low unemployment rate hides the fact that most new jobs do not provide a living wage, offer health insurance or provide retirement benefits. The time seems right for the resurgence of unions. What do you think?

Can worker and consumer unions help?fha loan

Wow, some very simplistic views on here. Of course there are more than two sides to this one! Although I agree your explanation of the current state of affairs of the economy isn%26#039;t completely correct is has a lot of merit.

Firstly don%26#039;t forget that the supply of cheap labor from illegal immigrants also keeps the cost of living low ( very good for the lower, struggling classes you talk of) as well as maintaining international competitiveness.

Getting on to the actual question about unions, the previous entries have mainly focused on the wage implications, yes the collective bargaining of unions raises wages and thus usually the price of goods too. Like the minimum wage it is artificial, and can actually cause unemploment, draw it, its true!

However, unions also have many benefits to their members which are often overlooked. Discrimination, inequality, unfair dismissal, all of these problems can be solved easier with grievance procedures set out by unions.

In the end though there isn%26#039;t going to be a resurgence of unions. They help the working classes and the middle and upper classes detest them. But with such a large middle class and such at least perceived social mobility not even the working class will go for them!

As a capitalist, I will never agree with the need for labour unions. When they were introduced, they were a means to keep the conditions for workers safe, and ensure that people were not unfairly paid or treated.

The conditions you list are accurate - and very consistent with a capitalist society. Like it or not. The introduction of an increased presence of labour unions is the introduction of socialism...plain and simple. And not an effective way to have the country maintain its standing as a rich and powerful one. You will see corporations shut down and leave the country - and who could blame them? They are in business to provide jobs and make money. But when someone comes along and takes all control out of their hands, they will find a new place to open where they are free to be as profitable as they choose.

What the US needs is a stronger government that will do something effective with the illegal immigration situation. And the only socialist thing I could stand behind would be a national healthcare program...where ALL Americans would have access to healthcare.|||I very much disagree with your assessment of the current state of the US economy. It reeks of anti-corporate sensationalism.

Regardless, I think labor unions are an incredible detriment to society. What they effectively amount to is collusion in the labor supply. Collusion is expressly forbidden in the supply of most goods and services through anti-trust laws. Why should labor be any exception? Unions force anti-competitive practice and bring about artificially high wages at the expense of efficiency.|||Unions actually hurt the national economy and and only economic help they give the represented worker is when not every company is union.

You have two products - one union made and one non-union made. The union made product will typically cost more due to wages and benefits. So, the average union worker can afford his product and the less expensive non-union product. Lesser paid non-union workers can afford the non-union product but a disproportionate number will be able to afford the union made product. So, if every company were union, the union worker would lose a good portion of his buying power because the less expensive products would be gone.

Your premise that unions will reverse the disparity of income is wrong - it will only make it worse.|||Labor unions are never beneficial. They even do more harm for the people in them than good.
