(SkyNewswire.com) --- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nearly 15 million people are currently unemployed and looking for a job. And this doesn’t include the millions who are looking but aren’t being included in that official number. What most of these people are discovering is that it can take a very long time to find a job – six to nine months, on average. But with the help of JobHunt Sherpa, a new service created by Atavas Staffing, that time can be cut down considerably.

"The fact is that most people simply send out their resume to endless job ads, or place it on job sites, usually without ever hearing anything in return," explains Phil Foti, founder of Atavas (Atavas.com) and JobHunt Sherpa (JobHuntSherpa.com). "But we have a tried and true 5-step process that has been proven to reduce job-search time by as much as 80 percent. This means that your chances of finding a job sooner will be much higher."

(SkyNewswire.com) --- Since 1994, New Jersey has offered a free roadside assistance program that gives aid to motorists dealing with vehicle-related frustrations like dead batteries, flat tires or an empty gas tank. The state's Emergency Service Patrol (ESP) began not only as a public service, but also to prevent the congestion and safety concerns that usually result from cars on the side of the road.

The ESP program has aided approximately 114,000 motorists on more than 400 miles of high-traffic New Jersey roadways since its inception. But with government belts tightening, legislators are wondering whether the program's $12 million budget could be put to better use somewhere else. Transportation Commissioner Jim Simpson feels that the money could be better spent on road maintenance.

(SkyNewswire.com) --- The recent news about hugely exorbitant salaries paid to top officials of the low-income city of Bell, Calif. – including $800,000 a year to the city manager – has shined a light on the way cities, counties and public agencies nationwide determine and report how much they pay their public servants. “The amazing thing here – or at least one of the amazing things – is that only a select few insiders knew what these officials were paying themselves, and outsiders had no way of knowing how the pay was determined or what it was based on,” said Rollie Waters, founder of The Waters Consulting Group, Inc., which provides human resources and compensation consulting and solutions to government jurisdictions, education agencies and professional associations.

At the same time, more than a dozen cities and counties have implemented a new software program developed by the Waters Consulting Group (watersconsulting.com) that enables officials to map the total value of their employees’ salary and benefits internally and against similar positions, and to cost-effectively make that information readily and easily available for a range of planning, budgeting and reporting needs. The program has also caught the attention of Karen Thoreson, president and chief executive officer for the Phoenix-based Alliance for Innovation, an international think tank for local governments.
