Thinking of picking up stakes in search of gainful employment? Your odds of getting a gig are markedly better in Portland, Maine, than in Portland, Oregon. Employers in Maine's largest city hire out-of-towners at twice the rate of its namesake in the northwest, according to an analysis by iCIMS, a maker of worker recruitment software. Here's what that means: Moving from one of part of the country to another -- a hallmark of the "Go West, young man" spirit that has long guided Americans to pursue opportunity wherever it may be found -- can be trickier than it seems. That's true despite U.S. unemployment being at its lowest rate in nearly 50 years.Even in a tight labor market, employers are much more likely to hire a local job-seeker than bring in someone from another state, said Josh Wright, chief economist at iCIMS. On average, 8 percent of out-of-town applicants applying for a job get an offer, according to iCIMS data.

Gaels of New York
Born to a Ballinakill father and a Connemara mother, Pat Donohue is dyed in the wool when it comes to his GAA loyalties. Still, he is very much a child of the Bronx. Tomorrow night he'll take his place beside Marty Morrissey in the cosy green press box in Gaelic Park and his view on what's unfolding will be beamed around the GAA world. It's his third year to commentate on the New York game. When Morrissey enquired about someone on that side of the pond that knew GAA in the city, he was put in touch with Donohue and the pair hit it off. It was the latest progression in his GAA life less ordinary. Donohue's story is at once typical of the Irish-American experience and yet truly remarkable. He followed the well-worn path from the green of Gaelic Park to the blue of the NYPD. Both organisations would shape him fundamentally. There's not many who can talk the Poc Fada and 9/11; organised crime in the Big Apple and the formative years of Dessie Farrell. "I often say that I was American … [Read more...] about Gaels of New York

Cory Booker 2020 kicks off in Newark NJ with Justice For All campaign
Meghan Grant North Jersey Record Published 5:56 PM EDT Apr 13, 2019 NEWARK – At a park in the heart of his adopted hometown, Cory Booker sought to rev up his supporters and reinvigorate his presidential campaign, which has yet to stand out from other Democrat hopefuls. Earning a national profile during his time as Newark's mayor, Booker returned to Saturday with a message: unity and love. Recalling his days as the city's mayor from 2006 to 2013, and as a tenant rights attorney before that, Booker showcased his social justice mission and his record. "Newark, Brick City, taught me about that love. It’s not feel-good, easy-going love. It’s a strong, courageous love. The kind of love that serves, the kind of love that sacrifices. The kind of love that is essential to achieving justice,” said Booker. Officially, Booker announced his 2020 candidacy on Feb. 1 via Twitter and then met the the media on the steps of his Newark home later … [Read more...] about Cory Booker 2020 kicks off in Newark NJ with Justice For All campaign
