of supervisors, thank you for the opportunity to speak before you and your consideration for the work force i have been working as a center manager for one of the neighborhood access points formally one stop career centers? san francisco since july 2010 and have seen thousands of visitors looking for work. our approach has been looking at the strengths of many of the job seekers to marketing skills to employers and looking for opportunities to do the right matching. so my voice that i would lend is my experience in operating a one stop center, now neighborhood access points in san francisco but also working with job seekers who really have skills gaps in their resumes and being able to work with them and market their skills and strengths to employers. there is a low unemployment rate according to the edd report, 4.6 percent. however the remaining are the hardest to employee. we would need to really utilize strategies and skill building and training to ensure that they are not left out while the rest of the more higher skilled workers are now employed. i would appreciate the opportunity to s

i have been serving on the task force up for the appointment for twice already. so, on my task force role, i have been working with the task force members on several issues affecting sro tennants. in my work, i have daily contact with sro tennants and my co-workers are also working on tenant issues doing safety and support for sro families and members as well. we have a daily contact with the tennants as well as owners of sro buildings trying to -- the goal is to bring to safety standards in the sro buildings. we do workshops through the fire department and fire prevention and the assistive preparedness as well as doing community workshops and activities on sro safety and conditions. so far we work closely with the dph and working on code enforcement of these buildings. i'm glad to be part of this task force to continue to improve the conditions in sro's as well as seeking opportunities for tennants for better housing. so thank you for your consideration. >>supervisor norman yee: thank you, angela. nice to see you again. i'm glad that you are reapplying because your advocacy for sro tennants is well establish

that's not jobs, that's the size of the work force, the number of people working, that number of hours. the republicans grab on that and say oh, that means that 2.5 million jobs are going to be lost. actually the report said the reason the work force shrinks is because with the new availability of affordable health care health insurance outside of the workplace, many more people will leave threar job rather than stay in the job just to hold on to their health insurance. gwen: many of the low wage workers. >> rights but if you were 62 and wanted to retire early, you say i can't do it until i qualify for medicare, people like that might choose to dial back their hours or leave their job. that's the phenomenon known as job lock. people who don't want to leave because of anywhere health insurance. goiment but if they can find a way to come back to it they will and that's what we saw happen a little bit. >> sure, they really seized on this and i think the white house tried to explain what this report really meant but like we have seen repeatedly on obamacare, they don't quite know how to ex

this includes many who are not in the work force and can't be firefighters even if they were. i'm talking about babies, retirees, and people who are too tired to work. we would identify them as having experience -- the comparison isn't an inaccurate of our recruitment. it's very misleading. the available labor force is a correct comparative and that was used during the consent decree. it's used by the federal government for all the reporting and in fact our work force utilization, we look at the fire department. every five years we submit that and that's available for your review and it's on the dhr website. using the incorrect comparison, even then, the only area in which the report finds that we're doing less well than we should be in trms of the statistics -- swhe be in terms of the is statistics. the labor market available market is less than 15 percent. in this area, we're doing well. that doesn't mean we can't do better. >> can i ask you as a last graduation class, were there any asian folks that graduated from that academy class? >> i believe -- dhr, we don't have the gr

the seismic economic shifts that were occurring just as this group entered the work force have changedhe rules. millennials have been forced to adapt, but stereo types persist. hiring managers said today's young workers lack necessary skills and that's why job openings go unfilled. i have been asking you today . . . i want you to tell me what you think by tweeting me at ali velshi and at ajrealmoney or leave it a comment on facebook. the existence of a skills gap is not just about millennials. 39% of u.s. employers are having difficulty finding any staff who have the right skills. many stereo types abound about millennials, they are lazy, entitled, spoiled. but brad who has coached thousands of millennial workers say they are no better or worse than past generations. they can bring a lot to the conference table. brad is the co-author of "manager 3.0." his firm also works with fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses. brad good to see you. >> great to see you, ali . when you think about it sometimes it's more difficult for entry level people to get jobs at anytime because they

percent in the female work force. after about ten years, the courts terminated the terms of the consent decree through a stipulated order which called on the city to use best efforts to maintain the diversity requirements established in the consent decree. later in 2006, the voters and the board of supervisors approved f. it requires the fire department to maintain all fire stations in place and located as of in 2004 and it required 24/7 fire station staffing. this table shown here shows the current annual count and percentage of the uniformed employees at the san francisco fire department by race. it shows that break down of fiscal year 08 through fiscal year 13-15. the fire department maintained a work force with -- from the range of 48 to 52 percent, minority representation over those years. and obviously that exceeds the 40 percent established by the consent decree. moving on to our findingment our first finding was related to organization and management and recommendations focused on issues of transparency. we mad

. >> over the next ten years, some 2.5 million americans will either drop out of the work force or reduce the hours they work thanks to obama care. so says the nation's nonpartisan congressional budget office. the cbo's director testified before the house budget committee this week. >> what the affordable care act does is provide subsidies focused on lower, middle income people to buy health insurance. in order to encourage people to buy an expensive product, the subsidies are fairly large. those subsidies are withdrawn over time, for people as their income rises. and by providing heavily subsidized health insurance for people with low income and withdrawing those subsidies as income rises, the act creates a disincentive for people to work. >> many of these soon to be idled workers are currently working to keep their health coverage paid for by their employers. for others, the obama care subsidies mean workers don't need full-time jobs to get insurance. and for many, too much work will boost their income and ironically, make them ineligible for these newly expanded medicaid benefits and o

the nation is in the depths of depression. 1/4 the work force is idle. income has been cut in half. s and businesses are toppling. how long can this depression go on? "the depression can last indefinitely," according to british economist john maynard keynes. but is anyone listening? and can government intervention move us out of these terrible times? keynes and roosevelt met only once. each thought the other well meaning but ineffectual. however, they changed the course of the world. what did we learn from the depression? we'll investigate that with the help of economics analyst richard gill on economics usa. hard times. we've seen a lot of them over the years. 1932 and the years that followed were different. the hoover administration tried to popularize the word depression. they thought it a milder word that would soothe the american public. by 1932, hope was about gone. the depression was more than an economic problem. it was human calamity. millions went hungry, some to starvation. proud people begged on street corners asking for pennies to feed their children, for jobs that no lo

we don't have as many people in the work force as we did in the recession, in the middle of the recession. and yet you have democrats almost giddy about, oh, boy, now we're going to have fewer people in the work force. that doesn't help the workers. it doesn't help in terms of fighting poverty. >> the figures analyzing obama care came from the nonpartisan congressional budget office and were released last week. they show some 2.3 million workers will leave full-time employment by 2021 as a result of the health care law. harris. >> well, the numbers are pretty straightforward. how are democrats characterizing this report? >> wem, yeah, they say the economy won't suffer because the workers will still contribute in various ways and the full-time jobs they leave will be filled by others. now, they claim obamacare provides workers with more choices and as a result, employees won't be locked into jobs they don't want simply to keep their health care benefits. >> what cbo said is many american workers will have freedom. now that's a good word, freedom to do things they couldn't do. the single mo

. >> the unemployment rate is very likely to go down even though there are people leaving the work force. >> that was a guy with the gas tax, almost forgotten him. what they're saying here or praising here is the fact that you will now have the freedom to not work as. i think that's the gist of what they were saying. >> that's from a house budget committee hearing where they had the director of the cbo, author of the new report there, and they were trying to argue actually a couple things. one, they were questioning this number that obama care will reduce the labor force by the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs in the next several years, but on the other hand, they were saying it would be a good thing for people. "the new york times" editorial called it liberating for americans who would no longer have to work because they had to have a job to get health care coverage. so that's what you saw from democrats. that yes, it will reduce the labor force but it will be a good thing. i have to tell you at the end of that hearing, douglas el mendorf was asked a simple question about what will the de

cutting back on workers they hire, this is people not working, either voluntarily dropping out of the work force or cutting back in the number of hours they work. >> pelley: there's a distinction to be drawn between this affecting job supply and worker supply. >> this is on the supply-side not the demand side. the c.b.o. said the estimated reduction stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labors workers choose to supply rather flan a net drop in businesses' demand for labor. so these are fewer workers in the work force, not fewer businesses hiring. >> ifill: the white house was emphasizing that word "choose" by the way, repeatedly today. so they said it's mostly going to be low-wage jobs, low-wage worker who will be affected by this. why >> that's right. because low wage workers are getting hope the buy their health insurance so for them every extra hour they work costs them more because if they work more they will be at risk of losing the subsidy or if they're getting medicaid they would be at risk of losing the medicaid if they earn that much more so they are more sensitive t

now i hear companies complaining they don't have the work force with the right skills. >> we all have to chip in and making sure we are retraining the work force to keep up with 21st century jobs. in particular when you look at health cakacare industry. at seiu, we created a fund that is funded by the employers and jointly administered with the management and union. it really is about making sure that the employers are able to identify what is the skill set that those workers need. >> andrew, how do we know we are not creating the sea of low-wage jobs and smaller very top niche innovation jobs and vast middle where consumers of the second machine age, but not necessarily employment beneficial of it. >> that is what is going on. there has been a lot of careful work done to illustrate the polarization. the classic middle class worker is not doing manual labor, but not doing high end knowledge work. they are doing routine information processing. that is technology which is good at and getting better at quickly. >> we'll talk about this issue again. andrew mcafee and milly silva thank you

if you looked at the future and you took the working force of america today and you said, what is it that this group of people in the future will need to live on when they retire and what they have saved for retirement, there's' deficit. they don't have enough saved to retire on. how big is that deficit? calculations at our hearing show about it's $6.6 trillion. that's a big chunk of change. that is a huge hole in the future. so when you look at what's happening, half of americans, half of americans have less than $10,000 in savings. as i talk and as we -- as we look at this, we have to remember that retirement has always been thought of as a three-legged stool. one leg is a pension. one leg is savings. and the other leg is social security. so what's happening now is that on the retirement pension system, the savings systems, we're falling down. social security is still strong. i'll have more to say about that. but what we have to do is to look at how much people have in savings. half of all americans today working -- that are working today have less than $15,000 in savings -- less th

he says get used to the new work force, where you will have a lot of people out of work, out of the laboror normal people, i don't mean the other people are abnormal, what i mean is for people who lose their jobs, pretty rapidly getting back to work. they won't enter long term unemployed. it will be a normal market for them but a very different market for those out of work for a long time. >> the number that's drawn a lot of attention lately on labor force participation, that will continue to be low. >> it defies the concept of those who think that number's going to come back up. this is very important for janet yellen tomorrow, if she's asked, what about the aca people leaving the job market and what about the outlook, is maybe the market a little tighter than we thought because of that. >> very interesting stuff. thank you very much. sue, down to you. >> that is interesting. sobering as well. >>> let's take a look at the gold market. we had a higher close as we went into the close now. the gold market is up $12 on the day. silver had a decent gain as well. that's a 1% move to the upside

there will be 2 million fewer workers in the u.s. work forcet a time when we already see our labor contracting, because baby boomers are getting older, those kinds of things. so this will affect the economy, overall. >> what is this new cbo report, the nonpartisan cbo report, suggesting? the impact of the affordable care act would be on the nation's budget deficits? >> reporter: right. that's an easy one. there's actually no change in the expectations there. the congressional budget office is not giving an overall estimate of the deficit. they're sticking by their previous ideas. they say they still think the affordable care act overall will reduce the deficit by a little bit. now, this report does sort of slice up what different parts of the affordable care act, and they do say the insurance provisions of the bill will cost the government. they say overall and i asked the cbo's director about this specifically, they say overall they're sticking by their expectation that this health care law will end up reducing the deficit overall. >> lisa des

a new report estimates millions of americans could leave the work force because of the health care law. ♪ she loves you >> with the beatles, meet the photographer who captured the british invasion 50 years ago this week. >> the number one in america. captioning funded by cbs >>> this is the "cbs morning news" for wednesday, february 5th, 2014. good morning, good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. this morning a major storm is moving from the midwest to the east. it contains snow, ice, and rain. for the second time this week schools and businesses are forced to close and in hard hit kansas, a state of disaster emergency has been declared. meteorologist eric fisher of our boston station wbz has this morning's forecast. >> it is the winter that keeps on giving. a lot of winter storm warnings and advisories on the map from the plains right on into the northeast. it's dumped quite a bit of snow already. more on the way as we head into our wednesday. here's a look at the times. snow from cleveland to buffalo, across i-90 to boston. knox it's tricky. you get a morning snow mixed in with sl

the work you put in is the work you get out. and you could hold the lever at different positions and you could get different forces to do the same work. but watch out, gang. no machine can put out more energy than is put into it, okay? what can it change? see if your neighbor knows. we can kinda see the answer to that when we look at the equation for work. work is what? force times distance. since the work input, work output is the same, what you can do is you can slish slash back and forth between whether you're increasing force or increasing distance. consider a huge truck, the flat tire, and that truck gotta be lifted so the tire can be taken off. can you imagine the ancients back when the pyramids were being built, seeing a little girl using a pumper jack to lift the mack truck, a little kid? and they'd come by and they'd say-- they'd see the kid go-- [makes sounds] --and they'd see the truck come up in the air. so they're "gosh, kid, how did you lift that truck?" and she's "well, i had to just do some work on the jack. "and the work on the jack, it worked on the truck. "and the work on the truck, same as the work on the jac

just to understand, it is not that employers are laying people off, but people aren't working in the work force, supplying it labored to the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs in 2024 and as a result work force participation rate, less labor supply lowers economic growth. >> that is right. >> who are these workers? who are the people typically in this category? what kind of worker from an income scale side are being affected by this? >> the effect is principally on the labor supply of lower wage workers. the reason is what the affordable care act does is provide subsidies focused on lower and more middle income people to buy health insurance and in order to encourage sufficient number of people to buy an insurance like health insurance the subsidies are fairly large in dollar terms. those subsidies are then withdrawn over time for people as their income rises. by providing heavily subsidized health-insurance to people with low income and with trying those subsidies as income risess, creates a disincentive for people to work relative to what would have been the case in the absence of that act. the s

this predicts obamacare will trigger a drop in the u.s. work force. just come out calling this report devastating. that was his word. but as we look at this report, really, really close up, this is what it actually says. the estimated reduction stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply rather than from a net drop in businesses' demand for labor. let's sort this thing out. let's go to washington to lisa desjardins. lisa, is this saying that the job force will drop because people either will decide to work less, now that they have affordable health care coverage, or something else? >> right. it's amazing that you got that from that quote from the congressional budget office. that was the worst government speak i think i've seen in a long time. >> help us understand it. >> reporter: right. what are they talking about? what they are saying is they think two million americans in the next four years will leave their jobs mostly by their own choice because of obama care just like you were saying, brooke, bec

going on and saying it's a great thing there will be 12.3 million less people participating in the work force.3 million @%ople less working in the work force. it's about maybe 7.5 or 10 million people whose hour will be cut back by 10, 20 hours a week. lou: when they passed obamacare they said it would create 4 million jobs. >>> we have propaganda and various allied groups around that are basically here to tell us up is down, right is left, and black is white. it's astonishing. it was overwhelming endeavor today. they were caught flat footed. to watch jay out there trying to spin this thing. to see an economist trying to spin things. just like a -- >> honesty. >>en integrity. >> right. on the part of an academic. he's nothing more than an -- >> you know what is telling? august -- recently as august of 2003, white house economists and independent economists align with the administration like david harvard were arguing that this labor force participation rate would not decline as a result of obamacare because it didn't decline in the case of massachusetts and romneycare. so obamacare had nothin

the general contractor who is on board, cahill, they're familiar with all the sb requirements, the work force expectations that we have. and they will be working with the support structure that has been put in place, for example, the construction assistance program, cap, with an on-site office at the shipyard. and their job is to reach out to local contractors, make sure they are aware, help them prepare and get ready to bid on opportunities that are coming up. so, that's one of our ways to ensure that we have solid local participation. >> okay, thank you. >> okay, thank you. i do have a quick question. and this was a question that came up for me in light of our discussions on the m-o-u with the mayor's office of housing. so, it's about the marketing plan. a couple things. so, the first is the primary lease out so, you know, the first time the apartments are leased out. it's very prescriptive norte vertical developer in terms of how they're supposed to do their outreach, through news outlets and things like that. what is -- how does that method reach people digitally or through other methods?

an estimated 523 people entered the work force in january. now, these are people who either found a job or actively looked for one during the month. and this reverses the downward trend that we have been seeing in labor force participation. we still got a long way to go. in january, 63% of all americans who could be working were either working or looking for a job. increase. >> labor force participation rate is stuck at close to historic lows. it has not recovered from the beating it has taken since the recession. so what's going on? economists blame the drop-off in new jobs in december on the bad weather. let's face it. january's weather was no better. but that didn't stop the weather-sensitive construction industry from adding 48,000 new jobs to the economy. other job winners include professional and business services, 36,000 jobs there. among the losers, retail trade, 13,000 jobs lost. >> happens sometimes in january. just as significant, the 12,000 federal jobs shed in january. 9,000 of them from the u.s. postal service alone. clearly, the

>>> a 2.5 million hit to the full-time work force. that's what the independent congressional budget office is predicting. but democrats are saying the law is unlocking something good. >> people would no longer be job locked on their policies but have the freedom to follow their passion. >> it allows americans to choose to spend more time with their family or pursue their dreams. >> it isn't employers cutting jobs, newly empowered workers choosing to go a different path. >> there are less participation for whatever reason but not less jobs. >> what about the 3.6 million americans we just discovered are out of work right now? wouldn't they love to be job locked? hi, everyone, i'm brenda buckner. this is the bulls and bears, gary b. smith, tracy burns, john layfield. welcome, everybody. gary b., democrats say this is good news. what say you? >> well, the spin on this, brenda, is just fantastic. i want to hit on two things we just saw in the clip. the one senator or congressman, i can't remember which, okay. some people have more time to s

just to understand, it is not that employers are laying people off, but people aren't working in the work force, supplying it labored to the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs in 2024 and as a result work force participation rate, less labor supply lowers economic growth. >> that is right. >> who are these workers? who are the people typically in this category? what kind of worker from an income scale side are being affected by this? >> the effect is principally on the labor supply of lower wage workers. the reason is what the affordable care act does is provide subsidies focused on lower and more middle income people to buy health insurance and in order to encourage sufficient number of people to buy an insurance like health insurance the subsidies are fairly large in dollar terms. those subsidies are then withdrawn over time for people as their income rises. by providing heavily subsidized health-insurance to people with low income and with trying those subsidies as income risess, creates a disincentive for people to work relative to what would have been the case in the absence of that act. the s

significant decreased by the fact that we don't make opportunities available to become part of the work forceso it really does go against the self interests of the country if we make it harder for these individuals who are indeed coming back into the community to reintegrate and become productive members of society. >> do they have to decide whether to support rights or rein-tait grate excons? >> the reintegration of excons as i said is a choice that individuals make. there is no state or federal law that say wal-mart can't hire excons. what economists tell us is if you require wal-mart to hire those kinds of people, they will go out of their way to find out how to minimize the number of people they can hire, regardless of whether people have demonstrated they are sorry, or ready to reintegrate into society. any time an employment mandate is adopted it creates these effects. we're seeing it with veterans, handicap and if we add ex-cons it would be the same. >> when we come back, we're going to look at innovative responses to getting felons back on track. >>> welcome back. we're talking about

so currently the port works with the office of economic and work force development and programs like city built to try to get san francisco's work force developed and be able to invest in people that can come around and work for the port. we don't have a designated person at this point who can really focus on what we need and trying to get the right staff and working with oewd, we need somebody who can really manage that and what this actually is is a constitution so converting a lower level class to this higher level to allow this person to take on this new function. last but not least, temporary salaries. these are actually for project manager type positions that the maritime planning and executive divisions would use to help implement projects. as you know we are working on a number of projects on the city and it's difficult to get all the existing port staff to bridge the gaps of getting, working through the different pieces of all of the projects. and this would allow the divisions to have additional resources to do that work. so the topic that everybody was just enjoying, we hav

we want universal health care, but we have to take care that it doesn't depress the work force. know if it's political spin or ideology or don't care. >> maybe it's fear in this midterm election. >> i think it's both. i think there's an ideological view on the left that it doesn't matter if people work because taxpayer funds are unlimited. >> so far, they have been proved solutely correct. we are headed, though, toward an accou accounting. that has been said, of course, literally for decades now at over $17.2 trillion national debt. we have a national debt that is the same size as our economy now. people have to understand, there will be consequences but the problem for republicans, they always harp on debt. they always harp on entitlements and people turn them off. >> yeah. >> if we don't see the republican party, enlighten leaders, articular leaders, it's going to be the same resul >> there's a solution. the solution is to actually leapfrog the left by showing conservative republican policies will do more for low income people, will do more for people at the bottom of the ladde

perhaps not be in a job if you don't like it because you're dependent on health care and enter the work forceher and how they enter again. >> and how they exit the work force. abbey, your take? >> i don't think it maximizes consumer choice at all. it tells women to stay at home. if you stay at home, if you're 400% of the poverty line for below, we'll subsidize you. the more you earn and join the economy, we'll take that away. you'll work harder but get less. this disincentivizes women, especially low income women. >> are you saying it shackles them to remain out of the work force because they don't receive the benefits they would if they raise their income? >> it stacks the deck against them working. >> there was a huge missed opportunity with obamacare, decoupling health insurance from employment and creating opportunities for women so far more choices, not fewer choices. the vice president's spin is essentially like saying, your house is burning down, but that's okay, you'll have less housework to do. trying to find the one nugget of things. there's job loss for women and men in dead end jo

of supervisors, thank you for the opportunity to speak before you and your consideration for the work forceommittee advisory committee. i have been working as a center manager for one of the neighborhood access points formally one stop career centers? san francisco since july 2010 and have seen thousands of visitors looking for work. our approach has been looking at the strengths of many of the job seekers to marketing skills to employers and looking for opportunities to do the right matching. so my voice that i would lend is my experience in operating a one stop center,
