RSS Feed2 Republicans aim for congressional seat Statesman Journal
In the six elections before 2008, Democrat Darlene Hooley unseated a Republican — and kept winning — even though registered Republicans outnumbered Democrats. Hooley's largest victory was 57 percent in 2000.
Two years ago, a registration surge prompted by the presidential-primary contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton produced more Democrats than Republicans in the district. That surge helped Democrat Kurt Schrader of Canby easily defeat Republican Mike Erickson of Lake Oswego — who was running for the second time — and four other candidates in the general election.
The district twice voted narrowly for Republican George W. Bush for president, but sided with Obama in 2008.
It was the first time since the district was created after the 1980 census that an incumbent was succeeded by someone from the same party.
This year, the district has lost 20,000 registered voters as of March. There are fewer registered Democrats and Republicans, a few more voters in minor parties, and the same share of voters not affiliated with a party.
Fortune 100 Businesses That Are Decreasing Joblessness
5.1 million jobs were misplaced countrywide since the recession started, all over from technological corporations like Northrup Grumman to fast food chains such as McDonald’s. With the current redundancy rate the highest it has been since your father used to pack his lunch and go off to the steel mill throughout the Carter administration, it is easy to grow to be one of those “disheartened workers” they talk about that do not factor into the joblessness rate.
As of the center of April, some Fortune 100 businesses have over 150 open positions. Yes, a lot of big corporations are limiting their employment forces. In fact, some of the corporations that are hiring are also limiting jobs at the same time. The point is not that they can’t hire. It’s what they can employ. After a respectable look at the top 100 of this year’s Fortune 500 list, at least 28 are decreasing unemployment with no less than 150 employment open positions.
Wal-Mart is hiring to fill recent locations. It is hiring executives in its Bentonville, Arkansas office, local store managers, human resource bosses, pharmacists, community customer service associates, and cashiers. Look for a “Super Wal-Mart” or a new Wal-Mart that just opened.
Okay, this article sounds a little nerdy based on the article just posted here the recent past about Hewlett-Packard reducing manufacturing jobs, but during those decreases, HP is also hiring. It is looking for information technology (IT) professionals, human resource bosses, research and development executives, marketing professionals, financiers and administrators. The explanation here is that it is trying to cut back on manufacturing payroll because sales are falling. It is hiring for top level and development jobs because it understands that in the ever changing I.T. field, it needs the greatest college educated professionals to help their planning move ahead. When the recession is ending, they want to come out on top of the PC business with some of the best products and services to blow their competition right out of the way. If you put in a résumé and get that job, you are looking at alasting job that will help HP come back on top and guarantee job security until you are telling your grandchildren stories about that old recession of 2008.
