Employment Recession and Recovery in the 50 States: A Further Update
No full textPrivate-sector Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth ratios and employment recovery rates following the Great Recession are calculated for the 50 states, as well as Census regions and divisions. GDP growth rates measure the ratio of state private sector GDP in 2012 to that in 2007. States with 2012 private-sector GDP levels above their 2007 levels have GDP growth ratios greater than one, while those with private-sector GDP lower than their 2007 levels have ratios below one. Employment recovery rates measure the percentage of each state’s private-sector job losses during the recession that have been recovered as of June 2013. The nation’s private-sector GDP growth ratio is 1.026, and its employment recovery rate is 81.7 percent.This is the third in a series of reports measuring how private-sector employment has changed in the 50 states during the Great Recession and the subsequent recovery.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 36, July 2013, in Rutgers Regional Report
Employment Recession and Recovery in the 50 States
No full textThe goal of this paper is to provide a report of record of the employment performance of the 50 states during the Great Recession and the ensuing recovery period. The analysis presented here uses U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data to consistently measure the changes in private-sector jobs over the course of the employment cycle from July 2003 through June 2011, a period covering economic expansion, recession, and recovery.The nation lost 8,838,000 private-sector jobs over the 25-month period from January 2008 to February 2010, a rate of loss of 7.6 percent. In the job-recovery period from February 2010 through June 2011, the nation regained 2,230,000 private-sector jobs, a rate of increase of 2.1 percent and a recovery of 25.2 percent of all the private-sector job losses of the recession.The first part of this report measures the private-sector employment performance of each of the states and regions of the country. It also measures the shares of each state and region of the national job losses and job gains during the various phases of the employment cycle.The second part of the report measures the duration of the employment recession, the number of private-sector jobs lost, and the rate of job decline for each state. It then measures the duration of the job-recovery period, the number of private-sector jobs gained, the rate of private-sector job gain, and the percentages of job losses that have been recovered for each state. These rates and durations of decline and recovery are compared with the analogous national rates.Rutgers Regional Report Issue Paper 28This report was published as Issue Paper Number 28, September 2011, in Rutgers Regional Report
Employment Recession and Recovery in the 50 States: An Update
No full textJob recovery rates are calculated for all 50 states. The rate measures the percentage of a state’s private-sector employment losses during and after the recession that have been recovered as of June 2012. As a benchmark for comparing individual states, the national private-sector job recovery rate is 49.3 percent.Public-sector employment (federal, state, and local) increased well into the national recession. It was affected by numerous factors (federal countercyclical spending, deep tax-revenue declines for state and local governments, and varying political responses at the state and local levels in terms of tax increases versus service reductions).This report was published as Issue Paper Number 30, August 2012, in Rutgers Regional Report
The economic and fiscal impacts of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, a macroeconomic analysis
No full textThis report estimates the macroeconomic and fiscal impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the economy of New Jersey using the R/ECON™ forecasting model of the state’s economy. The model consists of more than 250 quarterly time-series equations and 30 employment sectors.The analysis takes into account both the economic losses resulting from the hurricane and the offsetting positive economic impacts associated with recovery and reconstruction spending in the months and years following the storm.However, the estimates of impacts depend upon the restoration expenditures actually being made. If the funds for these restoration and recovery expenditures are not made available, the offsetting positive impacts to the economy will not occur and the New Jersey economy will be significantly damaged. See Section 3 for estimates of the negative impacts if restoration expenditures are not made.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 34, January 2013, in Rutgers Regional Report
Genre and Globalization: Working Title Films, the British Romantic Comedy and the Global Film Market
No full textThis thesis seeks to better understand the relationship of film genre to globalization through an examination of the use of the British romantic comedy and other related genres by the production company Working Title Films (WTF) from the 1900s through the 2000s. Because of the sudden and unexpected global success of British romantic comedies by Working Title Films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, the 1990s is a significant period for the study of the genre. In this examination the process of globalization is understood as one of complex connectivity postulated by John Tomlinson in Globalization and Culture as ‘the rapidly developing and ever-densening network of interconnections and interdependences that characterize modern social life’. This theory of globalization is used as a methodological framework to understand the complex network of global and local interconnections that has driven the development of Working Title Films over the past twenty five years to becoming one of the most important British production companies in the international film industry. Through a detailed analysis of the practices of development, production, distribution and exhibition by Working Title Films and the Hollywood dominated global film industry, this thesis seeks to understand the function of genre and genre films as cultural products, economic products and meaningful representations in the global market and to better understand Hollywood, mainstream film and cinema as social institution. The analysis in the following chapters serves as evidence to support the central argument of this thesis that the use of genre in the film industry’s production, distribution and exhibition processes of globalization was the critical area for Working Title Films to master in order to produce value as meaningful audience appeal and connectivity to global audiences for on-going economic success
Implementing Integrated Multicultural Instructional Design In Management Education
Get PDFThis purpose of this paper is to summarize the principles of integrated multicultural instructional design (IMID; Higbee, Goff, & Schultz, in press; Higbee, Schultz, & Goff, 2010) and present specific strategies for incorporating IMID in management education. The primary goal of IMID is to promote the integration of multicultural content and diverse teaching and learning strategies in postsecondary curricula, programs, courses, and academic support services. Results of a pilot project will be presented that include student evaluations of faculty teaching methods; inclusion of multicultural course content; strategies for the assessment of learning; and commitment to diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice when IMID is embedded in the curriculum. This paper also includes a discussion of andragogy related to multicultural strategies and the creation of inclusive learning environments in collegiate management education
