employment
Employment
is a contract between two parties, one being the
employer
and the other being the
employee
. An
employee
may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." Black's Law Dictionary page 471 (5th ed. 1979).
In a commercial setting, the employer conceives of a productive activity, generally with the intention of generating a profit, and the employee contributes labour to the enterprise, usually in return for payment of wages. Employment also exists in the public, non-profit and household sectors. To the extent that employment or the economic equivalent is not universal, unemployment exists.

"I have been in flint, michigan for a little over a year now. Why is it so hard to find a job? If anyone out tthere is from flint, got any advice? I'm getting ready to file for bankruptcy and all my fiance' and his mom do is yell at me to get a job. He has a job, he's the owner of a painting company, and his mom thinks i can just go out and find one no problem. Guess what it's not that easy anymore, that's what i tell her. I've never had any problem like this before, finding employment was always easy for me. Any employers reading this, your missing out on a great worker."

"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!"

"Metro detroit area here. All work in Michigan is slowing down, manufacturing in the US has been hit hard and anything in the auto industry has been hit the worst. Flint has been so heavily centered on the auto industry that until it picks up everyone will have a hard time finding a job that will make ends meet. Submit your resume through Michigan Works!, you don't have to be unemployed to submit through them. Ask your mother-in-law-to-be to ask her son if his business has suffered any over the last 2 - 4 years of this slow down. You can also submit through a temp agency, they'll be able to find at least short term things, if not temp-to-perm hire."

"What happens if you make $20,000 through your full time job, and $0 through self employment? Do you pay $0 for the self employment tax as a self proprietor? Or, do you still have to pay using $20,000 as the total income? Please help me someone. Thanks."

"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."

"Here's the simple answer, without all the politics: Yes, yes, no. You only pay self employment tax on net self-employment income over a certain threshold (I believe the first $400 or 600 or so is SE-tax free). See IRS Form SE and instructions for more information. PS: The top 5% of income earners pay 50% of all income taxes, and the top 50% pay 95% of all income taxes in the U.S."

"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.and one more source:"

"With an unstable economy in this day, it might be difficult to keep employment in this field at first. I know three people in the graphic design industry who got layed off...but don't feel discouraged. If you stay confident in yourself you'll do just fine. A lot of designers are self employed or freelancing with side jobs. Good luck."
ladyaibrean replied:
"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."

I didn't indicate employment going way back as I started working full time in 1978.Thanks.I checked my credit report and all 3 reports only show the past 7 years. Is that what they use to check?"

"It depends. I would go back 5-10 years. If they want more they will ask. But if its specified, then give them what they ask for. Good luck."

"As a background screening provider, the typical employment check is between 5-7 years. There are certain companies that wish to check back 10 years, but I have never heard of anyone going back 30 years."
