Ways To Increase College Bookstore Sales
Number of Words: 926 / Number of Pages: 4
... that by going there they can get everything that they need in one stop.
My independent observation shows that there are a number of items
carried by the competition that the bookstore does not carry. These are
insignia clothing, gift items, greeting cards, magaines, and candy and
snacks. Also, although the bookstore does carry a selection of paperback
books, the selection is small and limited. Of those carried, categories of
science fiction, best-sellers, and other non-fiction are less than that of
the competition. Of those surveyed, the lowest scoring service issue is
that of t ...

As a result of the strike and further boycotts against lettuce and Gallo wine, California Governor Jerry Brown established a collective bargaining law for farm workers in 1975. In 1977, the UFW and the Teamsters reached an agreement regarding union control of farm areas.
The UFW success is partly due to advocating principles of nonviolenc ...

Canada's Foreign Trade
Number of Words: 785 / Number of Pages: 3
... If Canada were to suddenly sever trade with China, not only would Canada lose a large portion of revenue generated from that trade, but also many Chinese people would starve, as China does not have the means to produce enough food for its peoples. Advocates for trade with all countries, regardless of a country's human rights issues, argue that trade sanctions do not harm the government in charge, but rather harm the people who live under that governments rule. Canada's economy and well being depends on trade and if trade must be done with a country that violates human rights, it is still for ...

U.S. Wage Trends
Number of Words: 1149 / Number of Pages: 5
... says L. Mishel, Research Director of Welfare Reform Network.
In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the economy," M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the trend from unskilled labor too highly technical, skilled labor is a good one! But, political action must be taken to ensure that this societal evolution is beneficial to all of ...

also created a single market that took effect in 1993, and established a
free trading environment between these countries, so there are no longer

... the people in them and the managers who
lead them. People respond strongly to leadership expectations and rewards. If
they are given little power in their jobs, they have little interest in
improving them. If leaders exhort the members for better output but reward
(promotions, bonuses, recognition) for mostly higher output, they get the

... danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology” M. B. Zuckerman. The problem is as we make all this technology to replace workers. We are now creating many low-tech jobs. At the same time we have now made a lot of skilled jobs. My feeling is that once we have all these very high tech jobs, pay rates will drop across the board. That’s because high tech jobs are now the norms. The economy can’t support all these jobs. Back in 1970, a high school diploma could still be a ticket to the middle income bracket, a nice c ...

... fees for as little as a dollar over the limit, plus an interest of
up to 24.9 percent per year. In the second quarter of 1995, overdue
payments as a percentage of outstanding balance hit 3.267 percent. That is
the highest mark since recession of 1991.
"The picture is, some consumers are very, very deeply in debt,"
says Charles McMillion, chief economist with MBG Information Services. A
swipe of the card has become so natural that many consumers do not realize
how much they have charged, nor that it will take them forever to pay that
