"What is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high, people who have jobs see their incomes go up, businesses make big profits. But they're learned to do more with less, and so they don’t hire.
-Barack Obama
This is the exact situation today. companies have learnt to do more with less people in their employ and they don't hire. And yet, we stay in the normal constantly applying to them with Internet job sites building cv banks every second with not the same matching result of producing the jobs. EMPLOYER is changing the paradigm and long accepted status quo...we are looking inwards to create our own jobs.
For some time now, the clarion call has been made severally for us all to look inwards to solve this problem of unemployment. We, as the unemployed should as a matter of urgency look inwards for a solution to our problems-EMPLOYER has resolved to take on Africa's unemployment palaver and bring all unemployed together to solve their problems. Government on the other hand should adopt a multi-pronged approach towards solving the unemployment issues. While one is not saying that setting up committees upon committees is not a good thing, Government should resolve to actually listen to the unemployed and know their various thoughts on this matter as well as their strategies.
At the turn of the economic meltdown, employers all over the world became smarter, laid off in most cases and started using only a few personnel to achieve so much. Some of the strongest economies in the world are not spared by the menace of unemployment which has become the Cerberus and Chimera of our time. It was the current Chancellor of Germany, Angela Dorothea Merkel, that said in a statement "I have just explained my idea of how a constructive period of reflection, one that would send a clear message to the citizens of Europe: You should know what our priorities are. For Germany this means: Unemployment is one of one of our biggest problems". Several strong economies, like Germany, ae facing the huge problem of unemployment and it is therefore a wonder that Africa should be spared this menace. This is why the Governments of the world especially in Africa need to adopt the principles of Jobocracy (see http://jobocracy.blogspot.com for more information on this subject) to allow the integration and participation of the unemployed in multi-faceted approaches at job creation. Governments that are interested in letting EMPLOYER consult for them can connect with EMPLOYER in the partnership section of our website.
For the employer of labour, it’s okay if you no longer have vacancies. This is understandable. Nobody can force you to create jobs that you don't have or pay salaries you can't afford. It is also your view that fresh graduates lack the skills needed to quickly give you the edge over the competition and ultimately more profits. Much more saddening is your low rating of fresh graduates as you interact with them and discover that most graduates of our universities can hardly make good sentences. You've realized further that they come out "half-baked" and are unable to defend what they read. Some of these your observations and feelings are true. Yes they are. But they cannot remain unemployed. Something needs to be done. EMPLOYER has discovered a way of taking some of the problems off you...you can employ virtually everyone but not directly and the beauty of it all is that you don't even have to pay them salaries. EMPLOYER would. We'd further certify them for employment for you by developing skill sets in them that would match your long standing personnel in your employ. All you need to do is contact EMPLOYER for details on how you can partner to make jobs available without employing directly and you still reap the benefits of the workforce.
The result of four years of tireless research is showing now. While EMPLOYER does not lay claim to all the problems of unemployment, we are well able to give it the best shot we can while soliciting for your partnership and support. Having networked with individuals and groups in over 30 African countries, it is now time to initiate what we have learnt and practiced in pilot programs so that all can benefit from it. As the program evolves, you are encouraged to get involved as everyone is a partner in all the ways you can. See how to register and get involved on www.employerafrica.com/register.php.
