Employment

1. Employment?

Mary, Michigan as a whole is in a bad way. Jobs are not easy to find, especially on the East side of Michigan. Ford closing, GM layoffs and other smaller companies closing has really put an impact on the job situations. Check with Manpower, sometimes taking a temp job can lead to full time. Also check with Michigan works. I think the site is Michigan works.org or .com (not sure) I would go to the Fast Food places, they seem to still be doing well with hiring. Dont expect to get what you want to get paid, take what you can. The fact that any check is better then NONE! Once you get something, you can look for something more to your taste. However, bankrupt is nothing to blink at. It is serious business and you need to act now. GL!

2. How does self-employment tax work for Sole Proprietorship?

It's like this. If you are employed in such a way that social security and income taxes are withheld from your paycheck, you pay half the social security taxes out of your paycheck, and your employer pays another half of your social security taxes. Social security is a regressive tax, by the way. It only comes out of income from working, not interest or dividends or anything like that. And once you have made and paid 7.65% social security taxes on $102,000 of your wages, salaries, and tips in 2008, you only have to pay the medicare tax (1.45%) for the rest of the year. So the poor actually pay a larger percentage of their income in social security taxes than the rich do, even though the poor are probably more likely to die before they retire. If you are self-employed, you are both employer and employee. This means you pay both halves of the social security tax (15.3%) on the money you make from self-employment. If I remember correctly, you pay that tax on your profit, not on your revenue, so you do get to deduct business expenses before you calculate your self-employment tax. In your example, that would mean that your self-employment tax would be zero, and your social security contribution for the year would come from your job.

3. How was the Employment opportunities for women during the second Industrial Revolution?

You can read this: While Pinchbeck spends most of her time describing the conditions of employment, she does on occasion pause to draw more general conclusions. Her central claim is that, on the whole, the Industrial Revolution made women better off. Initially women suffered from declining employment opportunities, but after the turn of the nineteenth century their prospects improved. Pinchbeck claims that women were better off in 1850 than in 1750 for two reasons. First, many women withdrew from the labor force and were able to enjoy more leisure and higher social standing. Pinchbeck sees the opportunity to specialize in housework as a privilege, and thus she sees withdrawal of some married women from the labor force as an improvement. While Pinchbeck notes that many women lost economic independence, she considers the gains to be large enough to make up for this loss. Noting the withdrawal of farmers' wives from productive employment, she claims, In the change she sacrificed her former economic independence according to the extent to which she ceased to manage her household and contributed to the wealth of her family, but for her, the new conditions meant an advance in the social scale and did not entail any material hardship (Pinchbeck, p. 42). For Pinchbeck, the move toward a family wage, which allowed a man to support a family and allowed wives to withdraw from the labor force, was a clear advance. The second way in which women were better off in 1850 was in improved working conditions for those women who remained in the labor force. Pinchbeck notes that, while contemporaries thought factory conditions were bad, these conditions were actually better than the conditions in alternative employments in domestic industry. Women entering the factories did not leave behind ideal circumstances, but domestic industries with low pay and poor working conditions. Pinchbeck concludes that the Industrial Revolution has on the whole proved beneficial to women. It has resulted in greater leisure for women in the home and has relieved them from the drudgery and monotony that characterized much of the hand labour previously performed in connection with industrial work under the domestic system. For the woman workers outside the home it has resulted in better conditions, a greater variety of openings and an improved status (Pinchbeck, p. http://eh.net/bookreviews/library/burnette.shtml and one more source: http://www.h-net.org/~business/bhcweb/publications/BEHprint/v020/p0032-p0044.pdf

4. Are the employment prospects for the field of graphic design good?

I don't see any problems...remember graphic design doesn't HAVE to be localized to where you are living now (you didn't specify this area). I have clients all over the US/Canada (and occasionally some abroad). If is more important that YOU are good in the field. I am an Art Director for a TV station but I've had jobs in other fields...graphic design doesn't mean agency work - you can also work as an in-house designer. I've never not been able to find work. When I was unemployed I did freelance. I am finding the Hispanic market quite lucrative.

13. How to statistically prove or disprove pattern of employment discrimination?

It seems you would have to first prove, statistically speaking, that qualified minorities were not considered for officer positions. If the position required a business degree or some other such speciality and only 1 out of 20 minority applicants for the job had a business degree, that complicates the figures somewhat. Of course it could be argued that the employer was writing the job requirements in order to exclude certain minorities, too. Tough question

17. Can I cancel an employment visa in UAE which shows a different profession that I'm applying w/ no penalties?

As per the UAE visa regulations an employ cannot be able to cancel the work visa issued on his/her name. Only the employer/sponsor can able to do this. In your case, if you are not interested to join with the current offer just inform them and go for the other offer. But bear in mind that your new visa application will not be approved till the existing visa has not been cancelled. I would suggest you to stick with the current offer and you can able to change/ revise your profession according to your designation in due course with your supporting certificates.
