No full textThis is the second Magnusson Fellowship Lecture, given by Dr Will Hutton, Executive Vice Chair of The Work Foundation. The title of the lecture is 'Them and Us - Politics, Greed and Inequality - Why We Need a Fair Society'. The Magnusson Lecture took place on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, in the new GCU London Spitalfields campus, which opened in September 2010. This is the second of special lectures which have been established in memory of the University's late Chancellor Magnus Magnusson KBE, who believed passionately in Glasgow Caledonian University's mission to prepare its graduates as dynamic global citizens and to use its academic expertise for the social and economic good of Scotland and the wider world. The audience included policymakers, the business community, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and academics. Successful outcomes of the inaugural Fellowship lecture, given by Professor Muhammad Yunus in December 2008 include the new Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing which opened in Dhaka, with its first forty students drawn from Grameen families across Bangladesh, and the appointment by GCU of Professor Cam Donaldson to the worlds first Yunus Chair in Social Business and Health. In his new book, Professor Yunus refers to the ambitious outcomes of the first Magnusson Fellowship meeting and Lecture, and their potential for the future

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

Wörlitzer Bahnhof
No full textSite plan of complex on site; it also contains a library, auditorium and gallery, open to the public; The Umweltbundesamt (UBA) is the German equivalent of the EPA in the US; it monitors environmental concerns. The building in Dessau contains the main offices (800 workers in 10 departments) and is a very large complex which has integrated two older buildings into it; the Wörlitzer Bahnhof (a listed building and former train station) and an adjacent factory building (which manufactured gas appliances). The new construction is a four-storey curved building of about 460m length, with the offices placed either side of a central corridor, and a tree-like circulation route. A key purpose is to break down the potentially monolithic nature of the facade, while providing a color code for seven different areas of the building. The facade, which is 35 per cent glass, has eight alternating horizontal bands of timber and glass. Spandrels are clad in larch slats, which will weather to silver-gray. Clear glazed windows are set back 30 cm from the timber; in between a series of glass 'blocks' of varying widths are inserted, with screen-print color enamelled onto the back surface. It has the German equivalent of a Gold LEED certification. Source: Sauerbruch Hutton Architects [firm website]; http://www.sauerbruchhutton.de (accessed 7/26/2012
