Jobseekers: Understanding the Candidate Experience

Rayanne Thorn | May 18, 2013 | Business
There has been a significant amount talk about the candidate experience for the last several years among those responsible for hiring or those who are part of the hiring process.

Dr. Peggy Drexler | May 18, 2013 | Women
While men seem to welcome the existence of dual income households, and marriages marked by (mostly) shared responsibilities, there's a hitch: The guys still want to be the primary breadwinner. That is, she can bring home the bacon, so long as it's not all of it.

Mary Buffett | May 17, 2013 | Business
There is an urgency to make things happen in Thailand -- a sense that some of the past political disruptions may be a thing of the past. They have moved far beyond the "domino that refused to fall" during the Cold War.

Grover Norquist is Right to Oppose Internet Sales Taxes

Mary Manning Cleveland | May 17, 2013 | Business
As most of us know, sales taxes are "regressive." That is, when sales taxes are "passed on," they fall harder on poorer customers than on richer ones.

Momentum Continues to Build for Narrowing ENDA's Religious Exemption

Ian Thompson | May 17, 2013 | Gay Voices
ENDA's religious exemption, which would extend far beyond churches, synagogues and mosques, effectively gives a stamp of legitimacy to anti-LGBT discrimination that our civil rights laws have never given to discrimination based on an individual's race, sex, national origin, age or disability.

How To Write A Thank You Letter

Carol Hartsell | May 17, 2013 | Comedy
You hold in your hands a letter. Not an email, not a Facebook message, not a DM. An actual, physical missive. It is an epistle, of the ilk our fathers and their fathers once wrote. In short, this is a real "brick and mortar" affair you are looking at.

We have everything to gain by supporting men and women who are putting a human face on the statistics about growing inequality in America. We all lose because the polarization of wealth threatens our economy and our democracy.

The Corporations Have Won: Comcast, SCOTUS and the End of Class Actions

Jonathan Valania | May 17, 2013 | Business
A study recently found that the Roberts Court is the most business-friendly of any court in at least the last 65 years. More alarmingly, the top two justices most likely to vote in favor of big business -- out of all justices since 1946 -- are Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.

Gene Marks | May 17, 2013 | Small Business

Women: Living Philanthropy

Rabbi Jack Bemporad | May 17, 2013 | Religion
Women will inherit 70 percent of the $41 trillion in the inter-generational wealth transfer expected over the next 40 years. That enormous potential philanthropic capital will propel women to the forefront of transformational giving. That gives me hope.
