The End of Another Week, The End of Another Month

The End of Another Week, The End of Another Month

     For whatever reason, time passes too quickly.  This week we finished some follow-up work from last week and we connected with a few more businesses and people from coast to coast.  It's work, but it is fun and exciting.  The concept of "Social Networking" was something that we believed in and we were right!  

     The biggest problem for anybody that uses the new found social network is the availability of time.  We've been able to find imaginative personnel and we hope you have too.  There cannot be enough said about how employees need to adapt and react quickly to changes.  This will always be important to production of any sort.  

     We have a meeting each month to remind ourselves of the reasons that we started Georgianna Hardware Corporation.  It's the end of another week, the end of another month.  Time to re-think our business practices.  Use our web page to spark your creativity.  Remember, this matters.

GHC News for September 19, 2012

It may not have been of importance to everybody, but we were excited to hear from USA Attachments of King, North Carolina.  Their products are made in America and the company exports worldwide.  

With all of the aftermarket equipment we see, it's nice to know that these products can be supported by professionals that engineer and build the specific part you need.  USA Attachments makes it simple.  They use AR400 steel and offer complete satisfaction with their products.  When we compared prices, we found that USA Attachments was certainly competitive.  You can follow USA Attachments on Twitter @excavator and find them on facebook at  USA Attachments.  If you're in need of backhoe attachments, excavator buckets, couplers, or pins...well, anything that you might need to attach to heavy equipment, please take a moment to consider the products that USA Attachments has available.

We were so pleased to see the products that are available through USA Attachments that we included them in our September Notables page.  

The Numbers of Unemployed vs. Unfed

Sometimes news reports give us statistics about unemployment and include numbers about underemployed. The reports often include references to states or regions and they factor in whichever quarter the author decides to reference.  It gets confusing.  Whatever variables are included in reports, it is no wonder people don't like numbers, but it is basic elementary school math.

It is important to know that nobody knows exactly how many people are employed because nobody counts them. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the numbers based on a random sampling of the population. When was the last time you were included in a “random sampling”? Talk about variables!

Today, when I was reading about the labor market in the United States of America I read that the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent. This is better than the ten percent that was reported in October of 2009 but that doesn't give us any actual facts, but I am more concerned about SNAP.

SNAP is the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program that we commonly refer to as “food stamps”. Reports have been released that fifteen percent of American citizens at receiving benefits from the SNAP program. Again, it is basic elementary school math. Stop one hundred people on the street and fifteen of them require nutritional assistance. 

More jobs will always mean there is less unemployment, but it will also reduce the number of hungry people.  Please help your local food pantry or visit Feeding America.
