Where The System Takes The Biggest Bite From Paychecks

A single worker in Belgium and Germany will face a high combination of income tax and social security payments that will account for just under 40 percent of his or her gross earnings. Despite that, workers in both countries do get something back such as health insurance, pensions, old-age care and unemployment benefits. In Italy, the break down is 21.9 percent for income tax and 9.5 percent for social security, adding up to 31.4 percent in total. The U.S. trails with 16.1 percent for income tax and 7.7 percent for social security making for 23.8 percent of gross earnings in total.

Wages in the USA same in 1973 and 2019

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its March 2019 update on real wages in the United States on Wednesday. Denominated in constant 1982-1984 dollars, average hourly wages dropped from $9.40 in February to $9.38 in March, with average weekly earnings amounting to $315.98. Since it’s hard to grasp the value of $9.38 in 1982-1984 dollars from today’s point of view, we took the liberty of calculating real wages in today’s prices and taking a look at what wages from 1964 onwards would be worth today. Read more.

Daily Vegetable Consumption Across The EU

When it comes to the daily consumption of vegetables across the European Union, there is a tremendous variation between member states. Ireland certainly likes its greens with 84 percent of the population reporting they ate vegetables daily. According to Eurostat, Belgium reported the same rate of consumption with Italy (80 percent), Portugal (78 percent) and Luxembourg (74 percent) following. Hungarians have the lowest rate of daily vegetable consumption in the EU at only 30 percent.

REGARDING INTERVIEWING (CBINSIGHTS)

Prepare to be cool Hi there, A few weeks ago, Marcelo asked for the best interview questions, and it got a lot of input. Today, I wanted to talk about signals (the good ones and red flags) when screening resumes. Good signals are those that make you want to fast track someone. The red flags being the ones that tell you to pass. Here are a few of the red flags I’ve observed (in no particular order). Of course, there are exceptions to these, but when reviewing hundreds or thousands of resumes, you need to rely on some heuristics that make reviewing simpler. No upward career progression at a single firm  Too many lateral moves across companies (relates to bullet 1) Job-hopping  Multiple concurrent roles (1 main job and lots of side hustles) Lists Microsoft Office Suite as a skill  Cr^ppy formatting Spelling mistakes Inflated claims of accomplishment not commensurate with role/title/team size Lots of discussion of mentoring startups  Solo consulting company dressed up as something bigger Use of phrases/terms such as “visionary,” “keynote speaker,” or “thought leader”  TBH, job-hopping is probably my clearest red flag based on the data we have at CBI. I know folks believe this is a sign of the times or that people’s careers now progress in dog years or whatever, but as far as I can tell, that is all nonsense. Mastery of a craft takes time, and having lots of 1-year or 18-month gigs doesn’t suggest mastery or the ability to stick with challenges long enough to see them through.
