Review Employment Conditions In The U.s., Furnitrue Sector: Employment Conditions In The United States Furniture Sector / Aktrin Furniture Research:The furniture industry is not a major employer in the the US. Employment in the American furniture industry stood at 573,500 as of 2003. This is only 0. 4% of the overall employment in the US. It seems that the furniture industry lends itself less to labor-saving technologies than other industries. Between 1983 and 2003, furniture employment grew by 7. 7% while total manufacturing employment fell by 9. 0%. Hourly wage rate in the furniture and fixture industry averaged $12. 98 compared to $15. [+]75 for manufacturing as a whole in 2003. The average furniture employee's earnings were just 82. 5% of those of the average manufacturing employee. During the past 20 years, this gap has gradually narrowed. The reason for this difference must be found in the fact that the output per worker (labor productivity) int he furniture sector falls short of that among all manufacturers by almost 50%.

Review The Common Law Tradition: Lawyers, Books and the Law / Hambledon & London:Legal history is not merely a history of particular events but also a history of traditions, intellectual and institutional. The Common Law Tradition is about the learned traditions which have shaped the common law and the English legal mind over the centuries: the profession, its structure, its technical language and its literature. J. H. Baker also looks at central institutions, such as the inns of court and chancery, and at local courts, which operated on the fringes of the common law, early conveyancing courses, the origins of law reporting and the first identifiable English year-book reporter. There is an account of the short-lived practice of reporting criminal cases at Newgate in the early fourteenth century and a suggestion that the spread of law reporting on the continent of Europe was begun by Englishmen serving in the fourteenth-century curia at Avignon.

Review The WetFeet Insider Guide to Accenture / Wetfeet.Com:Accenture, one of the world's largest consulting firms with 75,000 employees and offices in 47 countries, is growing and downsizing at the same time. The fluctuating economy has hit Accenture just as hard as its competitors (if not harder—Accenture is one of just a few public consulting firms), and between summer 2001 and summer 2002, the firm announced 2,500 job cuts. But Accenture also promises a net increase of 8,000 employees worldwide by the end of 2003, and insiders are bullish about the company's ability to bounce back. That said, how can you best prepare for your interviews with this consulting giant? The answers are all here, in the WetFeet Insider Guide on Accenture. You'll learn: How is Accenture similar to/different from the McKinseys and Bains of the consulting world? How does Accenture plan to stay toward the front of the consulting pack? What are the responsibilities of MBAs and undergrads when they go to work for the firm? What different projects do consultants in Accenture's different service lines work on? What is "behavioral interviewing," and what does it mean for your Accenture interview? What should and shouldn't you talk about in your interview?.
