Some might see a crass corporate attempt to latch onto a movement that fits well with the company’s branding. We see a progressive company showing its pre-corporate roots. (via Percolate)

Why don’t these companies set up a job fair at each one of the Occupy sites?

Why don’t these companies set up a job fair? Possibly because it won’t be enough. If you take a hard look at the facts, government and the major corporations/banks are only making things worse. A B&J job fair won’t turn things around.  We need major change.  That’s just my ¥2, of course.  I’m no economist.  I’ve just been following this stuff closely for years.  It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know that if you keep doing the same thing over and over and it does no good, you should probably stop doing that same thing.  The USG, corps and banks aren’t stopping.  Even if jobs are created, the lax regulations, the tax havens and the outsourcing will still screw the American worker, and likely the American economy, in the end.
