The United States faces a growing economic challenge – a substantial and increasing shortage of individuals with the skills needed to fill the jobs the private sector is creating. The country faces the paradox of a crisis in unemployment at the same time that many companies cannot fill the jobs they have to offer. But these problems are not unrelated.

Here in Minnesota we’re getting to the end of soccer season, that glorious time of the year when we parents no longer need to slog through Minneapolis rush hour to get our kids to and from their games. I complain but actually I learn a lot driving the kids and their friends around and from talking with the other kids’ parents during the games. One conversation I’ve been having is with the Dad of a really smart boy in my son’s class.

Before I launch into my totally predictable report on how Francois Hollande and his cabal of leftists are destroying what little remains of the French private sector, how about a little quiz for all of your wannabe francophones out there. The image above is a job posting for a temporary ( interim ) cashier ( employé de caisse ).

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

News item just in from my brother in Sacramento, and it’s not good. My first job out of college was temping for my Dad at a chemistry lab shadowed by that Campbell’s plant in south Sacramento, and I have a nostalgic attachment to the area. I really liked that there were a lot of Mexicans around. I started learning Spanish by going to Spanish mass and reading the goofy cartoon books they sold at the convenience store.
