Unemployment is about to experience another significant jump in the next few weeks. This isn’t the speculation of an Obama critic, but the simple observation of someone who has been watching economics for years. The contributing factor to the next jump is the increase of minimum wage from $6.55 (an increase we had in July of 2008) to $7.25 in July of this year.

Uncanny timing, intuitive positioning or convenient merge of government and business?

Today GE employs more than 300 thousand internationally in 100 countries. In spite of reported profits upwards of 182 billion dollars yearly, GE boldly downsized its Milwaukee headquarters in 2004 and moved to London as well as outsourced jobs to India and Mexico. The new direction also includes the creation of a GE Healthy Advisory Board comprised of experts on policy to include former U.S. Senators Tom Daschle and Republican Bill Frist as well as other global health care leaders.

These strategic adjustments in GE infrastructure have caused concern not only by shareholders at the company’s most recent meeting in Orlando in December 2008, but also to those who believe GE is straying from historically more conservative…(read more)

It seems like just yesterday when George Bush’s unemployment rating of around 5 percent was described as symptomatic of a “weakening economy.” Meanwhile, a CBS affiliate website just declared that the “Unemployment Rate Shows Hope” rather than the more logical slug of “Unemployment is at its worse rate in 25 Years.”

Kevin Price was a guest on the FoxNews.com hit program, Strategy Room in the 3 PM ET hour hosted by Eric Bolling this past week.  The program he was on focused on the demise of the US automobile industry.  Bolling describes Price as “one of the best business hosts in the country” and the “Price of Business is one of the most important business shows.”  Price wrote an article on the show’s topic at BizPlusBlog.com.

For several months the Price of Business, in cooperation with LookingSuccessful.com, has been developing a new, lifestyles oriented radio show.  Kevin Price, Host of the Price of Business (M-F at 11 am on CNN 650) said “that my daily show has become increasingly more hard news, business, and politics oriented, but the need for lifestyle programming is huge!  We found it odd that on one segment we would be discussing the economy crashing or innovative techniques of networking, and then talking about the need for watching your diet.  Although this is common on some programs, we felt it made sense to separate it from the larger business and politics show.”  This new show will be on Sundays at 2 PM on CNN 650.  The title of that show has yet to be announced.

This will be a huge boost for the new show’s title sponsor, LookingSuccessful.com.  This health and beauty website has been looking for an excellent branding opportunity and it feels that this is a powerful vehicle – at an excellent time — to increase audience awareness.  “On the weekends, people are thinking more about their lives, homes, health, and beauty.  It is the perfect time for a program such as this and I could not be more excited about it,” Price said.

The new program’s name will be announced within the next week.  In spite of the new show, some lifestyle related programming will remain on the Price of Business because Real Estate, hurricane recovery, and other issues that transcend beyond lifestyle.  Furthermore, news is news, and some of the things that will happen on our new weekend program, will need to be covered on the Price of Business.  Think you have great information you would like to contribute to this show?  Or are you interested in more information, email info@HoustonBusinessMediaGroup.com.
