Chapter16 is about Payroll Accounting, so I've found a news base on salary and wages.

Article
The title of this article is "GM workers accept wage freeze"
General Motors workers in Canada have accepted concessions that will freeze wages and increase the costs of benefits until 2012. The cost-of-living allowance will also be frozen until June 2012. Haven't said that under the extension of the current three-year contract to 2012, production workers who currently earn about $34 an hour would not get any wage increases.
General Motors employs needs big savings in labor costs as part of a restructuring plan in order to be qualify for more than $6 billion in loans from the federal and Ontario governments. The union also estimates the concessions by workers and retirees will reduce GM's costs by more than $400 million over three years. GM also admit that the labor cost savings will allow the company to remain a longer period.
The parent GM Corp in USA says it needs several billion dollars more this month from Washington to keep operating because of a continuing plunge in revenues and auto sales.
Connections
In chapter 16 Salaries are paid to office workers, teachers, supervisors and many civil servants etc. And wages are payments to workers for their labor. Basically salary and wages are the same. one thing makes the difference is the Salary is defined as a fixed sum of money paid to an employee on a regular basis over a period of time (usually one year) but instead of years, Wages are payments on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis, or by the piece. Its very rare to see workers accept this kind of situation. After all Wages and salary are benefits for workers and cost for company.
Conclusion
In conclusion this article indicates the importance of balancing the cost of labor. This article also shows us the dimly future of the global economic. Normally workers wouldnt accept wage freeze as whats happening because that's what they are working for. Yet we dont know whether GM's plan is viable and makes sense to taxpayers. Under this three-year contract to 2012, production workers who currently earn $34 an hour would not get any wage increases and a cost-of-living allowance will also be frozen until June 2012. I've saw a lot of strike about workers and labor union complain about their low wages and salary but none of that like this. Its very special to see workers give up their rights and benefits for the uncertain future. i mean after all there is still a chance GM would shut down or go to bankruptcy before their promise goes ture.

Friday, March 06, 2009 Jobs Contract 14th Straight Month; Unemployment Rate Soars to 8.1%
(Link :http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf)
This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the February Employment Report showing that the empolyment situation is getting worse. Payroll employment has declined by almost 2.6 million in the past 4 months.
2008-10-01 136352 (million)
2008-11-01 135755
2008-12-01 135074
2009-01-01 134419
2009-02-01 133768
By looking at this two graphes we can see comparing to last two years the Nonfarm payroll employment has droped almost 20% and The number of unemployed persons increased by 851,000 to 12.5 million in February which is almost 8.1 percent.
"The unemployment rate continued to trend upward in February for adult men (8.1 percent), adult
women (6.7 percent), whites (7.3 percent), blacks (13.4 percent), and Hispanics (10.9 percent).The
jobless rate for teenagers was little changed at 21.6 percent. The unemployment rate for Asians was 6.9
percent in February, not seasonally adjusted."
connection
The connection this article can link to chapter 15 is the use of trend analysis. Trend analysis is a very useful technique for examining financial statement and analysis presents financial data for a number of consecutive. Although trend analysis is often used to predict future events, it can be used to estimate uncertain events in the past too. but people usually used primarily to see the company or economic flow is performing over the past few months or years. For example, In this article it uses trend analysis to present the current employment situation which is deeply affected by the economic crisis.
Conlusion
Basically Chapter 15 is all about analyzing financial statement. Trend analysis is a comparison between the past time period and the present time period. By collecting information and attempting to spot a pattern, or trend, trend analysis gives us a visual prediction of the future and a visual estimate of the past. As you can see the first picture above, the the unemployment rate rose from 7.6 to 8.1 percent. this is a very significant change. The dramatic change in Nonfarm payroll employment and Unemployment rate represents the current global economic condition. and by looking at the graph, we can predict the Unemployment rate will continue to raise in the next two quarters or three. It may probably pass 10% of the whole population.
