Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Employment and Training Centers Planned for Iraq
And I had the pleasure to meet many talented Iraqi ministry employees during my tenure in Iraq. These three women included, are here today to learn how to build an employment and training system within Iraq. And the reason I say that is because shortly after the war, there were many unknowns, of which the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs was one that the United States was not very familiar with. And upon my arrival, I learned that the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs did not have much labor, if any at all, within it, that it did not have an unemployment insurance program, did not have a workers compensation program, and it certainly did not have a national employment and training program, which we find critical in these coming months to providing new skills, new marketable skills, to displaced Iraqi citizens. ...

USIS Washington File: TEXT: GORE SAYS EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS SHOW STRONG U.S. ECONOMY
Last month, the economy created 365,000 jobs, the unemployment rate remained at 4.5 percent, as low as it has been in 28 years, and real wages continued to rise -- all with no signs of inflation. Since President Clinton and I took office, the economy has now created 16.7 million new jobs. For nearly a quarter century, our nation had not seen an unemployment rate dip below five percent; it has now stayed below five percent for 14 months in a row. Let there be no doubt: if we stay on the right economic path, America's job engine can roar into the 21st Century. ... [Read More]

Women have equal status under the law, and the law provides for pay equity. There are highly organized and effective private and public women's rights organizations at the federal, state, and local levels. A federally funded Office of the Status of Women monitored women's rights. The federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner receives complaints and attempts to resolve those that are deemed valid. According to the HREOC 2001-02 report, sex discrimination complaints rose by 18 percent during this reporting period, and 399 new cases were filed during the year. Of these, women filed 88 percent and 85 percent were employment related. Through June the ABS estimated that women's full-time average ordinary weekly earnings were 80.15 percent of men's. However, a study released by the Australian Institute of Management in May 2000 found that women were paid only 66 percent of their male counterparts' wages. This study also found that there were fewer female board members in both large ... [Read More]

USIS Washington File: TEXT: LABOR MEETING EXAMINES STRATEGIES FOR GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT
6. National labor market policies are driven mainly by national conditions, although increased economic integration has made employment a common concern and requires an increasingly coordinated approach in this field. The G-8 countries are committed to make work pay, to take action to prevent unemployment and the drift into long-term unemployment among certain groups at risk, including low-skilled workers, and to address economically disadvantaged regions or areas where industrial restructuring occurs. To benefit fully from the increasingly dynamic economic reality, we must foster a culture of lifelong learning. We agree that connecting people to the labor market by providing employment services and labor market information, and training opportunities and information on providers, enhances worker employability, and that early identification and targeting employment programs to better meet the particular needs of job seekers and local conditions enhances their effectiveness. Promoti ... [Read More]
