  • The Great Resignation: Value in Life, Value in Work | A Mini JOZ Byte
    The Great Resignation has produced considerable anxiety within the business community – firms large and small. Employees are voluntarily leaving their jobs, at historically high levels, and experts are uncertain about why this is happening. There are in fact so many different theories circulating, that it’s clear experts are confounded by events.
    If we learn nothing else, the Great Resignation does raise important questions about the role of work in people’s lives. Do people value work? How much? Does it make their lives more meaningful and satisfying?

    Join us as we delve into episode 42 and another #MiniJozByte - examining the "the real reason" behind the Great Resignation.

  • “Sleight of Hand” at the Southern California Ports | A Mini JOZ Byte

    Dozens of container ships offshore from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the most visible symbols of the nation’s besieged supply chains. The fleet of massive ships represent the magnitude of the supply chain crisis and the systemic failure of the port infrastructure to meet surging consumer demand. 

    So… how did they vanish overnight?

    In our sixth addition of Mini JOZBytes, join us as we tackle the topic: what happened to those crowded ports?

  • The Port Crisis Poses Challenges to the Environment | A Mini JOZ Byte

    The major shipping ports across the nation have made news for congestion and persistent bottlenecks. The disruptions impact the entire supply-chain, slowing deliveries, and contributing to higher prices. The backlog has captured the attention of all levels of government – including the White House. President Biden issued an executive order directing federal agencies to address the problems, strengthen critical supply chains, and form a supply-chain task force to work with the ports. Still, slower deliveries and surging prices are not the only adverse consequences. Extraordinary demands on ports also pose significant challenges to the environment.

    Join us as we tackle the topic - the supply chain snarl at the ports + the environment.

  • The Infrastructure Bill Finally Passes. So, What’s in It? | A Mini JOZ Byte

    Friday, November 5th, the House finally passed the so-called bi-partisan infrastructure bill.  The final tally, 228-to-206, showed however that the bill could hardly be labeled bi-partisan. The nearly 3,000 page bill contains $550 billion in new spending. The total $1.2 trillion figure includes annual funding allocated to highways and various infrastructure projects. Let's see the detail up close.

  • The New Media Narrative: Quitting Your Job is Empowering | A Mini JOZ Byte

    The latest government data shows the number of people quitting their jobs surged to a new record in August. Nearly 4.3 million people quit – that’s 2.9% of the workforce.  The previous record was in April at 2.8%, almost 4 million people.

    It’s important to get this right. Businesses needed to respond to job quits. And that response would be shaped by what people believed caused the resignations.

    In our third addition of Mini JOZBytes - Let’s examine the evidence presented on why there are so many job quits.

  • "It's the Economy, Stupid!" | A Mini JOZ Byte
    The phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid”, spotlights the connection between voter preferences and economic conditions. James Carville, Bill Clinton’s chief campaign strategist is the individual that coined the term. 
    Voters are increasingly skeptical of President Biden’s economic policies. Fifty percent of Americans now believe the economy is getting worse, not better. That’s a 15-point increase from June. The gap between those that think the economy is getting better and those that think it’s getting worse is 36 points – the largest disparity since Biden entered office.
    In our second addition of Mini JOZBytes - Let’s examine how the government created the signs of economic troubles.

  • The Supply Chain Story Everyone Neglects: Over-Regulation | A Mini JOZ Byte
    To be sure, politicians want to show the public they are doing something to solve important national problems.  The ports are important, and the disruptions are front page news.   It is, however, ironic that the federal government now feels it can solve a problem that it created.
    In our first addition of Mini JOZBytes - Let’s examine how the government created the Great Supply Chain Snarl of 2021.
