Kurzarbeit bezieht sich auf ein kurzfristiges, rezessionsbezogenes Programm, das von mehreren europäischen Ländern übernommen wird. Im Rahmen des Programms verpflichten sich Unternehmen zu vermeiden, Entlassungen, sondern reduzieren die Arbeitszeit aller oder die meisten ihrer Mitarbeiter.

Im aktuellen Sector Handbook berichtet das Economic Research Team der Credit Suisse über seine erste Studie über den Effekt der Kurzarbeit in den verschiedenen Branchen.

Arbeitslosigkeit ohne Worksharing wäre 7 höher gewesen. DAS IST RUSSLAND Ist es ein Regierungsprogramm in der Schweiz, wie in Deutschland Kurzfristige Beschäftigung ein beschäftigungspolitisches Instrument, das in einem speziellen Abschnitt des diesjährigen Sektorhandbuchs behandelt wird, hat zweifellos dazu beigetragen, die Situation zu entschärfen, sagt die Credit Suisse. Also, dass eine Regierungssache wie pro Deutschland Schweizer Wirtschaft die Rezession schneller als erwartet verwitterte. Besonders überraschend war die Robustheit des Arbeitsmarktes und die Tatsache, dass die Arbeitslosigkeit weniger stark ausgeprägt war als in früheren Rezessionen. Dies kann zum Teil auf die Kurzarbeit zurückgeführt werden, ein Instrument, das es Unternehmen zumindest in naher Zukunft ermöglicht, drastischere Personalabbau zu vermeiden. In ihrem Sektorhandbuch untersuchen die Ökonomen der Credit Suisse erstmals die Entwicklung der Kurzarbeit in den einzelnen Branchen. In der Metallindustrie, in der Textil - und Bekleidungsindustrie sowie im Maschinen - und Anlagenbau wurden in der Gesamtbeschäftigung Kurzarbeit am häufigsten beobachtet.

Short Time Work Plan Saved Jobs - Study: Shorter Hours Preserved Jobs, by Phil Izzo, 1/24 Wall Street Journal via blogs. wsj/economics PARIS, France - Short-time work programs effectively preserved jobs in many countries during the financial crisis. An OECD working paper by economists Alexander Hijzen and Danielle Venn looks at whether government programs aimed at keeping workers on the job were effective. Under the programs, companies seeing low demand received government subsidies to cut hours or use furloughs instead of letting workers go. The results provide clear evidence that short-time work schemes helped preserve permanent jobs during the economic downturn, while also providing some evidence that short-time work schemes promoted average hours reductions among permanent workers. Average hours reductions, let us point us, that are utterly necessary to maintain or grow markets once CEOs start using robots to create lights-out manufacturing systems with no humans onsite at all.

BONUS clip - As schools make cuts, employees learn to curtail their own finances, by Stephanie Knowlton, 1/23 StatesmanJournal SALEM, Ore. - Melinda Adams remembers five years ago when her bus route zipped from field trips to student programs throughout the Salem-Keizer School District. She sees few field trips these days, and overtime is rare as the district tightens its budget. Apparently many Americans are ignorant of how overtime is antithetical to their future, and how there should be a lot more of it getting converted into jobs by the downward redefinition of full time in the age of automation. Now shes lucky to work six hours per day. Its happening anyway, but not in a systemic way (even if the system is just a single entire municipality or state, or even corporation, some of which already do it ) that would create a perceived labor shortage and harness market forces in raising wages and spending. If she dips below 30 hours per week, she falls into a lower tier and her health insurance rates would double. Ive never seen it like this since I started working in education 15 years ago, she said. Adams watched her paycheck shrink by about 2,000 per year for the past few years because of rising insurance costs and fewer hours, and now theres talk of more cuts . This aint going away until employees take charge of the process and do some emergency temporary worksharing and permanent timesizing . Shorter hours are happening anyway, but not the best way. The argument that work is infinite because human desires are infinite ignores the absence of infinite money to satisfy those desires or pay for that work AND ignores the increasing scarcity of good 40-hr/wk jobs to maintain wages and spending in the age of robotics. Thus, shorter hours is a strategy that is being reinvented hundreds of times a day across the U. S. in this recession and thousands of times a day across the world in both public private sectors, in every industry, and in a variety of ways. Many countries and U. S. states already have worksharing programs to cushion the transition to permanently shorter workweeks that automatically adjust to our rising levels of productive technology in the Age of Robotics. These programs currently are designed to be temporary. Heres what their permanent program will look like when they finally succumb to the inevitable.

What a day for layoffs Folks, we have ringside seats for the destruction of the American economy by our prevailing goofy management wisdom of upsizing (growth) by downsizing How is timesizing (cutting the workweek) different Think about it: 1000 jobs on an 80-hour workweek (as in 1840) becomes a 40-hour workweek (as in 1940) with 2000 jobs. Cut the workweek, increase the jobs. Workweek reduction without job (market) loss is the one corporate strategy and government policy that has no adverse long-term effects, and any short-term problems we can bandaid from the unemployment insurance fund which is saving money cuz were saving jobs. We DID THIS for over 100 years, 1840-1940. We have tons of experience with this to guide us.

Although many nurses like these schedules because of the compressed nature of the workweek, the long schedule - as well as shift work in general - lead to sleep deprivation, says Trinkoff . - see whole article under todays date.

Thus, shorter hours is a strategy that is being reinvented hundreds of times a day across the U. S. in this recession and thousands of times a day across the world in both public private sectors, in every industry, and in a variety of ways. Many countries and U. S. states already have worksharing programs to cushion the transition to permanently shorter workweeks that automatically adjust to our rising levels of productive technology in the Age of Robotics.

WASHINGTON, D. C. -. 1 in 6 Americans - many of them 65 and older - are struggling in poverty due to rising medical care and other costs. Under a new revised census formula, overall poverty in 2009 stood at 15.7m ir 47.8 million people. Ah, woundnt that round to 48m, not just 47m as in headline Thats compared to the official 2009 rate of 14.3, or 43.6 million, that was reported by the Census Bureau in September.

Honestly, if politicians cant soak the rich cuz the rich now own them, the private sector is going to have to devise ways of doing it, because no one else has any money. And still the super-rich cant understand why they should pay any higher fees than the homeless (like, to get their billions back into circulation. ). Want to do it by market forces OK, then cut the workweek to level the playing field between employees and employers and leach the trillions out of the black hole of uncirculating money around the richest 30,000 Americans. The workweek is completely arbitrary anyway, and unlike the workforce, can be downsized any amount with no adverse effects or additional stress to the economy, except to managers who will need actual management skills, for example, to keep employees who will then have job choices, and for example, to suture ever shorter shifts - but managers themselves will have shorter shifts as well so they can rest up for the challenge.

Here is the Gold chart from yesterday in Candlestick form: You can see that yesterday8217s bar was a Spinning Top that closed right on the Fibonacci retracement. That shows that there was indecision in price movement as neither bulls nor bears could move price in their direction. Often, these types of bars lead to a price reversal. I8217m not saying that this is the bottom, but as I mentioned yesterday, it could very well be close at hand. Should price drop below the November lows, bears are back in charge.

Immigration in Japan. ZERO. It8217s a monstruous problem. By 2050 Japan population will be cut by half What8217s funnier with Japan is that the debt levels are astronomic. No youngsters to pay the debt in the future. Ah well no pension funds there too. A bowl of rice, shut up and hurry dying. These riggings may sound useful for gold and silver. But if they contribute killing agriculture, people will starve to death. Banksters are after all eugenist nazis. I am not surprised. Agriculture because of these scandalous manipulations has been underinvested for at least 40 years. France for example lost last year 200,000 hectares of good agricultural land. Guess why. It8217s a way to steal without nobody noticing. The most violent robbery is stealing agriculture.
