Despite what watching the news might tell you, life is getting better.

Read this article and found it interesting. It compares profit per employee between Apple and other retailers like Wal-Mart. Additionally it discusses why raising the minimum wage may not have the effect that some hope...

A major problem I have with the American workplace is the lack of support around those who recently had a baby. Federal regulations require employers to retain employees during an unpaid period of 12 weeks after the birth or adoption. Many countries have much greater requirements for employers...

I searched diligently for a Ray Rice thread and couldn't find one, which seems surprising. Now that the video in the elevator has been released, it seems like everyone is up in arms regarding the NFL's handling of the situation. What I find surprising is that the video seems to have changed...

Watching summer league highlights from a few intriguing summer league rookies left me amazed at the reel for Zach Lavine. I found myself comparing him to Exum, and wondering how their careers will pan out. They are both 19 (Zach is 3 months older), have very similar measurables, and both right...
