http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/features/us/jan-june11/college_04-05.html In the US the affects of unemployment and inflation are impacting the way in which high school graduates are thinking about their further education opportunities. 
  1. Can you see the same thing happening in Australia? Why? How?
  2. What is the current salary difference for an Australian graduate versus someone who has not completed any higher education?
  3. Do you think that this will impact you in choosing your next steps after high school? Why/ why not?

Employee satisfaction surveys

22/6/2011

Good employers care about what their staff think, how they act and what their concerns are. A way to capture this information is to conduct ESS's (Employee Satisfaction Surveys). If we were to translate that into a school context, I am your manager and so I would like to seek feedback from you about the course, and your experiences, to date. Can you please complete the following survey.
Many thanks in advance

In this article http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2011/s3235219.htm the recent approval to increase the basic Australian wage is discussed on the ABC  PM radio program. The Australian Chamber of Commerce, Fair Work Australia and the ACTU are all bodies that have differing opinions on whether the rise is a good or bad thing.
Who are these people? 
What are their roles? 
Who is right? 
Why do you think that?
