For the first time, they find themselves managing four generations of Americans in the workplace. The differences between these generations go beyond their age. Researchers have found that they also approach their jobs and supervisors differently, depending on their generation. |

Americans Deal with |

People are among the most social creatures on earth. Even in their most primitive state, people naturally form dense webs of social and family ties that sustain and drive their culture and their very survival. This drive for human connections is as old as recorded history. The second chapter of Genesis asserts, “It is not good that the man should be alone.” |

Inflation Remains a |
|
Many Americans assume that inflation is rising. They fear that the recent increase in commodity prices will lead to higher finished goods producer prices and then higher consumer prices. This fear is intensified because people tend to notice when prices go up for products they buy most often.
As economist A. Gary Shilling points out in a recent commentary, such “widespread fears of inflation are understandable. Historically, inflation is a wartime phenomenon when government spending is huge, while deflation reigns in peacetime. Still, the nation suffered a uniquely long 60 years of war, which started with rearmament in the late 1930s, was followed by World War II, which promptly gave way to the Cold War that was augmented by the War on Poverty. So, most Americans have never experienced anything but inflation, which they believe is the way God made the world.” |
