President Barack Obama welcomed a stronger than expected December unemployment report on Friday and urged Congress to extend a payroll tax cut until the end of 2012 to help the country’s economic recovery maintain momentum.

“We’re making progress. We’re moving in the right direction. And one of the reasons for this is the tax cut for working Americans that we put in place last year,” he said.

“When Congress returns they should extend the middle class tax cut for all of this year, to make sure we keep this recovery going,” he told workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to welcome its new director, Richard Cordray.

Obama appointed Cordray on Wednesday despite opposition from Republicans in the U.S. Senate.

Data earlier on Friday showed a 200,000 increase in December job creation that beat analyst expectations and helped bring the unemployment level down by a tenth of a percentage point to a still-historically high 8.5 percent.

The numbers are a boost for Obama as he seeks reelection in November. He must convi

The holiday season is a time of change and transition as companies prepares for the upcoming New Year. However, behind the veil of the cherry holiday season, employees experience quite a bit of stress. In addition to their work responsibilities, employees also have to balance the tasks of purchasing gifts, managing holiday parties, and preparing for the New Year. Given all of the busy holidays—Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc.—it is likely that employees may lose track of a task or two. Therefore, it is important for employers to remind employees about the importance of staying focused at work.

There are a number of tips that an employee can implement in order to stay productive during these busy times:

A major reason productivity suffers during the holidays is poor time management. This problem is especially affected by the holidays because employees must juggle multiple responsibilities. One way in which individuals address this issue is to create and maintain an updated calendar. By

According to a  recent report in the Huffington Post, Illinois ranks in only the eighth position of the top ten highest sales tax States in the United States.  That may come as a surprise to many residents of Cook County and perhaps even of a surprise to residents of the City of Chicago where the local sales tax rate is 9.25% for general merchandise and can be even higher in restaurants and higher still in restaurants in special taxing zones.

The reason for the surprising eighth position is that the rankings are statewide averages.  If you look at a list of top highest sales tax cities in the United States, Chicago ranks in keeping with where one would expect it.

Collections of Illinois Sales Tax, Retailers Occupation Tax (ROT), Use Tax (UT), Motor Fuels Tax, Service Use Tax (SUT) and Service Occupation Tax (SOT) are enforced by the Illinois Department of Revenue through Sales Tax Audits and Illinois Department of Revenue Collection Acts which could include Levy of bank accounts, levies on other property, revoke suspend, or hold a business certificate, and revoke a sales tax business certificate.

With Thanksgiving just one day away, you’re likely counting down the hours until your four day weekend. Most companies let their employees have Turkey Day and the next day off of work, and you know what that means—shopping. Although the Thanksgiving holiday is coming up quickly, the general holiday spirit will remain in the air for the rest of 2011. This opens up tons of marketing opportunities for just about every type of company. The holidays not only give marketing departments creative ideas to work with (incorporating a turkey into your meat packing business, Santa Clause buying auto insurance, etc.), but companies can rest assured that these campaigns will get more attention than usual.

According to Media Post, the top five days by sales conversion volume were all between Thanksgiving and Christmas:

If this wasn’t enough to convince you, marketing for the holidays is necessary simply to stay in competition with your competition. Accor
