Income gap widens as poor take hit in recession
Census: Income falls for all groups, but those at bottom feel worst effect
U.S. income gap widens in recession Census: Income falls for all groups, but those at bottom feel worst effectThe Associated Pressupdated 9:20 a.m. ET, Tues., Sept . 29, 2009WASHINGTON - The recession has hit middle-income and poor families hardest, widening the economic gap between the richest and poorest Americans as rippling job layoffs ravaged household budgets.
The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans — those making more than $138,000 each year — earned 11.4 times the roughly $12,000 made by those living near or below the poverty line in 2008, according to newly released census figures. That ratio was an increase from 11.2 in 2007 and the previous high of 11.22 in 2003.
Household income declined across all groups, but at sharper percentage levels for middle-income and poor Americans. Median income fell last year from $52,163 to $50,303, wiping out a decade's worth of gains to hit the lowest level since 1997.
Poverty jumped sharply to 13.2 percent, an 11-year high.
"No one should be surprised at the increased disparity," said Richard Freeman, an economist at Harvard University. "Unemployment hurts normal workers who do not have the golden parachutes the folks at the top have."
Layoffs eyed as causeAnalysts attributed the widening gap to the wave of layoffs in the economic downturn that have devastated household budgets since the recession officially began in December, 2007. They said while the richest Americans may be seeing reductions in executive pay, those at the bottom of the income ladder are often unemployed and struggling to get by.
Large cities such as Atlanta, Washington, New York, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago had the most inequality, due largely to years of middle-class flight to the suburbs. Declining industrial cities with pockets of well-off neighborhoods, such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, N.Y., also had sharp disparities.
Up-and-coming cities with growing middle-class populations, such as Mesa, Ariz., Riverside, Calif., Arlington, Texas, and Henderson, Nev., were among the areas showing the least income differences between rich and poor.
Continued inequality in major cities?It's unclear whether income inequality will continue to worsen in major cities, said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. Many Americans are staying put for now in traditional cities to look for jobs and because of frozen lines of credit.
"During the years of the housing bubble, there was middle-class movement from unaffordable metros with high-income inequality," Frey said. "Now that the bubble burst, more of the population may be headed back to the high-inequality areas, stemming their middle-class losses."
Among other findings:
Income at the top 5 percent of households — those making $180,000 or more — was 3.58 times the median income, the highest since 2006.
Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia had higher poverty rates than the national average, many of them in the South, such as Mississippi (21.2 percent), Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisiana (each with 17.3 percent). That's compared with 19 states and the District of Columbia that ranked above U.S. poverty in 2007.
Use of food stamps jumped 13 percent last year to nearly 9.8 million U.S. households, led by Louisiana, Maine and Kentucky. The increase was most evident in households with two or more workers, highlighting the impact of the recession on both working families and unemployed single people.
Pharr, Texas, and Flint, Mich., each had more than a third of its residents on food stamps, at 38.5 percent and 35.4 percent, respectively.
Between 2007 and 2008, income at the 50th percentile (median) and the 10th percentile fell by 3.6 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively, compared with a 2.1 percent decline at the 90th percentile. Between 1999 and 2008, income at the 50th and 10th percentiles decreased 4.3 percent and 9 percent, respectively, while income at the 90th percentile was statistically unchanged.
Plano, Texas, a Dallas suburb, had the highest median income among larger cities, earning $85,003. Cleveland ranked at the bottom, at $26,731.
The 2008 figures come from the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey, which gathers information from 3 million households. The government first began tracking household income in 1967.

Home Business - Finding Success In Network Marketing
Every day, thousands of people around the world search online for a way to get out of their financial ruts and make a better life for themselves.

September 18, 2009 ( PowerHomeBiz.com ) - Every day, thousands of people around the world search online for a way to get out of their financial ruts and make a better life for themselves. Many of these people will test out a number of different opportunities, hopping from one new system or program to the next, looking for that one that will finally earn them some real money. Network marketing is one of the best ways to be successful in creating a lasting home-based business. People realized that it was through the connections and friendships they were forging in social networks that eventually created wealth.
Firstly, you must find a program that you believe in. If you aren't passionate about your product, how can you expect that others will be? There are a few basic things to look for when you are reseaching a good program. The most important thing is to find out if you can reach an actual live person who is working the program to get your questions answered. If you can't, run! Next, what is the compensation plan for the program? Are they interested in helping their resellers make money, or are they in it for themselves? Do they have training materials, forums, and live web seminars where potential resellers and members alike can get the proper training and get their questions answered to be successful? The secret to success is finding a good system and then teaching your recruits and prospects to implement the same system. Find something you are passionate about promoting, then help others do the same.
Secondly, you need to be clear on how you are going to market your program. There are so many different ways you can accomplish this. You can join the traffic exchanges, send out emails to safe lists, write articles and blogs, or purchase ads. All of these can be great ways to drive traffic to your opportunity. But, for quality leads that are likely to convert to your program, a presence on the social networking sites is a must. There you can meet like-minded individuals that you know already have an interest in network marketing. The people on those sites get to know you as a person and are far more likely to check out your opportunity over clicking some ad written by who knows who. Networking is all about the people. If you are not a people person, network marketing will in all likelihood not work very well for you.
The quality leads that you generate predict your future success. So if you have a network marketing business try marketing to other network marketers instead of everybody under the sun. The only leads you want to generate are people who have been in network marketing before, who are in it today, or leads who are actively buying information to learn and better themselves in the business, not people who merely seek out information.
If you believe in your business, work at it every day, and genuinely want to help others find a great opportunity, you will find success in network marketing.

No Job Is Safe in Today's Tough Labor Market

No Job Is Safe in Today's Tough Labor Market
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 1:11 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (AP) -- As the unemployment rate climbs to almost 10 percent, no industry or profession has been spared when employers needed to cut jobs. That includes fields once considered untouchable.
Big national law firms are letting partners go. Following them out the door are senior associates who were on the partner track. The same is true for tenured teachers and professors, high-ranking accountants at top-tier firms and white-collar corporate managers.
''Imagine along your career, you never were thinking about the possibility of being laid off. You might not have a financial cushion on place. You haven't spent time networking. You haven't kept up your skills,'' said Peter Cappelli, a professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business.
''It is a worse situation than for folks in jobs who had some expectation that their jobs weren't safe,'' he said.
It's difficult to deal with the reality that your seemingly secure job is gone, but there are ways to get back into the working world. First, you need to formulate a plan:
STOP THE BLAME GAME
No one is saying you have to wake up the morning after a stunning job loss recharged and ready to pursue the next phase of your life. When you've built a career at a particular job, there's likely to be a mourning period after a layoff.
Accept that you are going to feel down, and don't beat yourself up for what has happened.
''This is such a bad economic downturn that it is crushing organizations,'' Cappelli said. ''It's like a one-in-a-100-years flood.''
Understanding that should help get you back on your feet faster.
FACE THE FACTS
More than 6.9 million jobs have been cut in the United States during the recession, and there is a good chance many won't come back as soon as economic growth picks up again, or possibly ever.
For instance, 1,004 teaching jobs in Detroit have been cut, and 397 were tenured positions, which typically means they have seniority and are covered under strict termination and due process requirements.
The layoffs were forced by economic necessity. The school district is projecting budget deficits as its enrollment plunges, according to Keith Johnson, president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers.
That means those teachers can't count on being rehired by the Detroit school district anytime soon. They will have to find work elsewhere.
GET SMART
It's easy to get complacent with your skills when you work at the same place for a long time. A job loss forces you to break out of the comfort zone.
Teachers might want to consider different subject areas -- for example, a high school history teacher might want to think about switching to literature. Accountants might need to become proficient in other areas of corporate financial reporting or the tax code.
Sam Pollack was laid off from the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in August 2008 as the financial crisis began to intensify. The 32-year-old had worked on deals involving mortgage-backed securities, a market that completely froze as demand for such assets evaporated amid the downturn in real estate.
''If you work hard, go to good schools, you believe you will be in a good place,'' Pollack said. ''I knew my layoff wasn't due to my personal performance, but it still hasn't been easy.''
To make himself marketable to new employers, Pollack is trying to sharpen his skills. He has taken continuing education courses in areas of the law where he isn't as knowledgeable, such as bankruptcy, and he's making sure he's up to date on new securities rules and regulations. He also is networking ''like crazy,'' hoping that will land him an in-house legal job at a company.
Ramping up your knowledge doesn't have to be costly. Seek out free programs, which often can be found through trade organizations or businesses in your industry.
For instance, LexisNexis is offering the Lend a Hand program for out-of-work attorneys. The program includes a free six-month profile to both its Lawyers.com Web site, which consumers and small businesses use to find lawyers, and its Martindale.com Web site, which provides information on attorneys and law firms. In addition, participants can get access to the company's Martindale-Hubbell Connected site, an online community for legal professionals, and the Martindale-Hubbell Career Center, which is a resource to help attorneys find legal jobs in local areas.
DON'T BE TOO PROUD
You got to a comfortable place in your career by working hard. Unfortunately, you'll have to do it all over again.
That means being flexible in your job search. It's OK to accept positions below your previous title if it gets you into the door. Then you can prove yourself a valuable asset to your new employer, said Mickey Matthews, vice president for North America at the executive recruiting firm Stanton Chase International.
For instance, if you worked at a big firm, don't look down your nose at a boutique firm that is offering you a position as partner. Same goes for someone who was a vice president of a company but now can only get a job with a director title.
''You have to get over the embarrassment factor,'' Matthews said. ''You can't take a job loss personally today.''

As a result, they refuse themselves a rewarding opportunity. They make decisions based on rumors not in proven facts. The existence of enterprising people with character strength and special traits. Besides the appearance of companies have been evolved to direct sales systems. It drives us to what we know today as direct sales, multilevel marketing and network marketing.

How to start a home-based business that makes money

How to start a home-based business that makes money

http://www.examiner.com/x-16264-Phoenix-Homebased-Business-Examiner~y2009m9d4-How-to-start-a-homebased-business-that-makes-money
Phoenix Home-based Business Examiner John Griggs
Have you started a home-based business, or are you considering starting one? Whether your goal is to earn a part time income or to make enough money to quit working regular jobs, you have to know what your customers want to buy. Looking into what successful businesses are currently doing will help you with your own.
Cutting out all the fluff, here are the two main reasons businesses get customers to purchase from them:
1. Customers will gain something from the business.
If you sell something physical, such as a T-Shirt, CD, or watches, your business falls into this category. You can also sign up with an affiliate program. This is the way an affiliate program works: You place advertisements on your website showing off another company's products. Whenever a customer makes a purchase through your site, the company will pay you a percentage of what they make!
If you have a blog, signing up with an affiliate program is one of the best ways to monetize your website. Here is a list of websites you can sign up with:
If you don't have your own products yet, consider selling things from other websites until you do. When someone buys from a product listed on your site, the company selling it makes a definite gain that can be measured (profit) and passes some of the earnings on to you!
2. Customers THINK they will gain something from the business.
Two of the most successful businesses are companies that sell lottery tickets and casinos. Think about this: How many times have you purchased a lottery ticket? How many times have you actually won money? The majority of us do not make any tangible gains by purchasing lottery tickets. However, selling lottery tickets is very profitable for Powerball and other companies. If you gamble at a casino, your chances of winning are higher than winning the lottery. However, the odds are still heavily favor the casino. These businesses make billions of dollars without guaranteeing that you will get anything at all in return.
Colleges and universities make money in a similar fashion. People say they go to college for an education, but the real reason most people go is to increase their earnings potential. Many job opportunities require a college degree, or favor candidates that have one. Earning a degree will increase your chances to get a better job, but it is not a guarantee. Due to this economy, many recent college graduates are out of work, or are in low paying jobs that don't require a degree.
It is unfortunate that many business that do well financially give their customers returns with no value, little value, or questionable value. Fortunately, you can implement the strategies of these types of businesses to help you make money for your own. How do you do this?
You can earn money online from programs such as Google AdSense by placing their advertisements on your website. When a customer clicks on an ad they are interested in, you earn money. There is no guarantee the customer will actually make the purchase, but it does show they have an interest. Many website owners earn hundreds of dollars a month just from Google Adsense alone!
Educating Consumers
Consider starting a blog, and sharing your knowledge with others. Then monetize your website with pay per click ads, affiliate programs, or by selling an E-book.
E-Books are an excellent way to make money from your knowledge. Are you an expert in picking up women in clubs, physical fitness, or how to make money online? People are desperately looking for information in these subjects and more!. Customers will gladly pay you if they see you are offering something of value to them. Do this: have a blog that gives valuable information about your subject. Don't charge your customer for this. However, save your very best stuff for your E-Book. When you do this, you gain a customers trust before they buy from you.
When you develop your business further, consider offering training classes, seminars, and phone consultations. Many website owners make HUGE incomes by offering these services.
What information can you offer that will help others? Start a blog and earn money while offering knowledge that has genuine value. In this situation, both you and your readers win. So what are you waiting for?

If you don't have your own products yet, consider selling things from other websites until you do. When someone buys from a product listed on your site, the company selling it makes a definite gain that can be measured (profit) and passes some of the earnings on to you!
2. Customers THINK they will gain something from the business.
Two of the most successful businesses are companies that sell lottery tickets and casinos. Think about this: How many times have you purchased a lottery ticket? How many times have you actually won money? The majority of us do not make any tangible gains by purchasing lottery tickets. However, selling lottery tickets is very profitable for Powerball and other companies. If you gamble at a casino, your chances of winning are higher than winning the lottery. However, the odds are still heavily favor the casino. These businesses make billions of dollars without guaranteeing that you will get anything at all in return.
Colleges and universities make money in a similar fashion. People say they go to college for an education, but the real reason most people go is to increase their earnings potential. Many job opportunities require a college degree, or favor candidates that have one. Earning a degree will increase your chances to get a better job, but it is not a guarantee. Due to this economy, many recent college graduates are out of work, or are in low paying jobs that don't require a degree.
It is unfortunate that many business that do well financially give their customers returns with no value, little value, or questionable value. Fortunately, you can implement the strategies of these types of businesses to help you make money for your own. How do you do this?
You can earn money online from programs such as Google AdSense by placing their advertisements on your website. When a customer clicks on an ad they are interested in, you earn money. There is no guarantee the customer will actually make the purchase, but it does show they have an interest. Many website owners earn hundreds of dollars a month just from Google Adsense alone!
Educating Consumers
Consider starting a blog, and sharing your knowledge with others. Then monetize your website with pay per click ads, affiliate programs, or by selling an E-book.
E-Books are an excellent way to make money from your knowledge. Are you an expert in picking up women in clubs, physical fitness, or how to make money online? People are desperately looking for information in these subjects and more!. Customers will gladly pay you if they see you are offering something of value to them. Do this: have a blog that gives valuable information about your subject. Don't charge your customer for this. However, save your very best stuff for your E-Book. When you do this, you gain a customers trust before they buy from you.
When you develop your business further, consider offering training classes, seminars, and phone consultations. Many website owners make HUGE incomes by offering these services.
What information can you offer that will help others? Start a blog and earn money while offering knowledge that has genuine value. In this situation, both you and your readers win. So what are you waiting for?

http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2009/9/prweb2820694.htm
MLM expert Tim Sales sits eye-to-eye on stage with legendary interviewer Larry King to have a candid and educational discussion about the network marketing industry.
(PRWEB) September 3, 2009 -- Tim Sales, highly respected MLM trainer and Founder of FirstClassMLMTools.com recently joined Larry King, world-renowned voice and broadcast legend for an on-stage interview to discuss the legitimacy of network marketing.
The appearance came as a surprise to more than 8,000 associates as Mr. King appeared on stage at the USANA International Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, August 29. Mr King's objective - to ask Tim Sales the tough questions about MLM.
"I'm here to learn. I want more knowledge of it," said King, who says he was among the victims of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
In the unscripted interview, Mr. King and Mr. Sales discussed the difference between a pyramid scheme and a legitimate network marketing business, what to look for in a good MLM company, why Mr. Sales loves MLM, and the fallacy that people at the top make all of the money.
"I love MLM," replied Tim to one of Mr. King's questions. "There's not a more fair business structure on this planet."
The interview wrapped up with both men shaking hands and Mr. King concluding that all of his questions were answered to his satisfaction.
Excitement for having MLM legend Tim Sales and interview star Larry King on stage not only caused loud cheers and endless applause from a packed EnergySolutions Arena, the first-of-its kind interview also had online networking sites like Twitter and Facebook buzzing.
Comments like "We just witnessed the most incredible thing. My heart is in my throat. Can't eat! Too excited!" and "This is amazing. Tim Sales explaining the beauty of MLM to Larry King" flooded social media sites as soon as King and Sales were on stage.
Tim Sales is a proven authority when it comes to education about MLM. His ability to explain how the industry works gave birth to his widely-known prospecting presentation "Brilliant Compensation" -- which is an industry standard when it comes to explaining the MLM business and professionally handling prospect objections.
In addition, his personal triumph of building and leading a network marketing organization of 56,000 people in 29 countries is his foundation as a leading MLM training authority in the network marketing industry.
