SILVER SLIPPER REPORT NEEDED TO KEEP JOBS IN THE USA!

We all agree we are in an economic crisis here in the USA.  What we don’t agree upon is how to fix it – the problems are monumental from the financial industry to the automobile industry not to mention the housing industry.  What we can agree upon is the unemployment rate in the US is way too high.  Our neighbors are not employed or they are underemployed.  Wal-Mart has announced in an attempt to be a good citizen is launching a Sustainability Program that encourages its vendors to find environmentally friendly solutions/products.  What we need is jobs. 

In the book the Wonderful Wizard of the Oz, the magic shoes Dorothy wore were silver and she had the power with her all the time to return home.  This report of who we are employing and where could be labeled the Silver Slipper Report and record on every website under SSReport.

My proposal is a report from Wal-Mart and every corporation receiving federal funding of how many full time equivalent positions they are employing here in the US, continental North America (meaning our neighbors Mexico and Canada) and overseas.  This report would be for paycheck jobs only.  If services are contracted out – nothing is reported.

For example, 123Corporation 3 year comparison report might look like this:

                                        2009                2008                       2007

United Stated Employees        525                    625                   1,025

North American Employees        40                      0                       0       

Overseas                                 5                      2                       0

Our forefathers gave us a representative government, we have the voting power to write to our government officials and ask for what we want.  Let’s put on our silver slippers and create a working America where are neighbors are gainfully employed, where our grandchildren can grow up and be proud, where our great grandchildren can look back and see our hard efforts.  Write to your representative today – this is our democracy.
