Dollars and sense: Economy, native workers benefit from immigrant work

Until recently, saying that immigrants are "doing jobs Americans are not doing" amounted to little more than political rhetoric. But now President Bush (and others who support comprehensive immigration reform) can say that the facts are on their side.

In the often-caustic immigration debate, it’s not uncommon to hear activists railing against "illegal aliens" that are taking American jobs and draining the U.S. economy of its vitality. In fact, such hyperbole has been rather successful in obscuring the real debate long enough to retard any congressional action on immigration reform.

Now, the real facts are beginning to surface, courtesy of some unusual suspects – a California economist and the Internal Revenue Service.

In late February, Dr. Giovanni Peri, a University of California, Davis, economist, published a report that cuts against the typical immigration grain. By analyzing census data in California (home to 30 percent of foreign-born workers in the U.S.), Peri concluded that immigrants actually boost the wages of native workers.

That kind of finding might seem counterintuitive, especially when one considers the fact that so much of the immigration debate has centered on the negative effects of immigration on Americans’ wages. But given a closer look, Peri’s findings make a great deal of sense.

Essentially, Peri found that immigrants complement (rather than replace) native workers. Because most immigrants in California are unskilled laborers without a high school diploma, they end up filling in the gaps in California’s labor market, where most native workers have more than a high school diploma but less than a doctorate degree.
@ TheAnswerMan, the person whom who wrote this is not an activist, he’s a Dr. from a University (economist). If you do a search on the article, it’s refers to illegals 4 times.
@ Daisy…..NumbersUSA is your source?…really?

How many times have you come across such alcoholics who have promised not to touch alcohol again in life? The very next day when you meet the same person you will find him ready with his drink. In case of substance addiction and dual diagnosis promises are made to be broken.

Raise your will power

The power of your will and confidence encourages you to leave any type of wrong or prohibited practice. In case of drug addiction your metabolic system is so much used to the habit of drugs consumption that touches beyond limit. At this moment only if you wish to come out of this situation your body and the entire metabolic system won’t allow you to do so. You might also get feats due to irresistible cravings. Without drugs it seems as if you will die.

During such hour of crisis you will have to take some professional guidance to face such situations and they can help you to grow your resistance power against substance addiction. Drug rehab centers all around the world are helping people in this way.

Need for detoxification

The primary step of any drug rehab program is the detoxification process. Here the ill effects that the drugs have done to your body are eliminated. This comprises of counter medication to resist cravings and urge for the illicit drugs. In another way you can state that medicinal drugs replace the illicit drugs.

When your body starts getting used to the normal course of medicines and starts reacting in the desired order then the other aspects of the treatment are given priority. The professional psychiatrists in the rehab center enhance the will power of the patients through adequate counseling and mental boost. If the patient is at his initial stage this process might be successful in curing the person but if the level of addiction has gone out of control detoxification is must.

Rehab care is the best care

For the treatment of the substance addict patients there is no substitute for rehabilitation treatment programs. The comprehensive profile of treatment takes utmost care to cure both the mental and physical ailment of the patient and thus bring him to the position where he is bound to leave drugs or alcohol. Moreover the scope for relapse is also minimized with conviction through different types of exercises and medicines in the latter phase of the treatment program. So what do you think? All these would have been possible just on your own. No way!

As consumers, we don’t really think about the importance of branding. We tend to go with the flow of brand names that have become transparent with our daily living (which is exactly what business(s) want to see). However, branding can drive your business significantly.

I like to drink “Coke”. And there are a lot of people who also like to drink “Coke”.

“Coke” is a brand, and the company Coca-Cola has been extremely successful on embedding their brand in our daily lives. The results? Huge profit. I don’t need to tell you how successful they are. You know it. That, is the power of branding. Other huge companies that are successful in their branding strategies include McDonalds, IBM, Microsoft, Nike…etc. Basically, all major business(s) have their own brand.

When you are considering the name of your company, you need to remember the importance of branding. Deciding a name for your business should be a well thought out process. You need to consider various names and their meanings.

Your brand must be simple and unique. Simply put yourself into consumers’ eyes; consumers like simplicity so they can remember easily. You business name should also be unique so they will remember you when people refer to your brand, not other companies with similar names. It’s also very useful to inject positive value and characteristics to your brand. Consumers like products to which they can associate positive qualities.

Proper branding creates loyalty. For example, when people ask me what I drink regularly, I reply “Coke”. When people ask me where I usually go for gas for my car, I reply “Petro Canada”. Now when I reply to people with all these brand names, I am also marketing these business(s) to them. That, is the power of branding.

Branding is what will help you the most in the most effective marketing strategy – word-of-mouth marketing.

Defining your brand is not an easy task; it is sort of a journey of business self-discovery. Previously mentioned your brand has to be simple and unique. However, more importantly is the meaning behind your brand. Ask yourself the following questions:

What is your company’s mission?

What’s special about your company’s services or products?

What qualities do you want your customers to associate with your company?

Your brand can be your business name; it is actually recommended if it is the same as your business name. Once when you have created the name for your brand, design a logo and think of a tag line. Then be true to your brand and be consistent on injecting your brand into your market. Your goal is to make your brand deeply embedded in your market and become transparent to people’s daily lives.

Now the question is, What is your business’ brand?
