...provide up to $3,000 to help displaced workers find new jobs. But as Edwards likes to point out as he stumps for the Democratic nomination, that's little comfort if there are no jobs waiting in your community when you get out of school. A 2001 Labor Department audit found that only 1 in 5 who participated in programs for displaced workers found jobs for which they had been retrained; nearly 40% ended up working part time or for less than they had earned before; 28% had not yet found any work at the end of their training...
...things. Meelia says that before Breen's arrival he had little contact with Tyco's corporate management, which didn't review the strategic plans Meelia submitted and for some reason lumped health care with plastics and adhesives into one division.

All the paperwork, including written confirmation from the bank to Parmalat's auditors, had been forged, Bank of America said. "What is shocking here is that it appears the assets were just plain fabricated," says...
...used to cows, killing cows, going out and eating the same cow you kill. I’m not used to this catching and buttering thing. The first thing I will do when elected—when elected—is call for an audit of the dining services. This monopoly...
