...flight has drawn even more attention to the woes of the state corporations. Just a few weeks ago, for example, Finsider, a state group of 24 steel-producing companies, came under fire for continuing to roll out steel all last year despite a global glut. The reason was to keep employment high, but the result was staggering losses that no private company could afford...
...assumption is that the OPEC cartel will maintain high prices for oil (currently $11.56 per bbl.). Main reason: Saudi Arabia, Libya and Kuwait are cutting production rather than risk the falling prices that would accompany a global oil glut.

Yet it provides the undeniable fascination of watching her become that woman...
...made for the engineering field a few years ago, matched neatly by the actual trend in hiring. He is proud of the correlation. Business school is becoming the newest popular field, he says, with especially women viewing their prospects as favorable in what will, inevitably, provide yet another glut in this scarcity-ridden model...
