Unemployment Relief
Unlikely
While some economic experts believe that the recession is over,
today's job market remains dismal and small businesses - the largest
employer group - fear the economy will not sustain the need for more
employees, according to a recent poll by George S. May International. A
new survey of 830 small business owners across the United States by
management consulting firm George S. May International found that 74
percent of respondents do not plan to increase employee headcount in the
next 90 days. "The term 'Help Wanted' has become obsolete in this
recovery setback period," said Paul Rauseo, managing director of the
George S. May International Company. "Small business owners feel they do
not have the need for more employees and, in fact, see sizable portions
of their staff as an unnecessary expense." Among the respondents not
hiring, 62 percent say they have no confidence in the economy sustaining
the need for more employees, while 38 percent are simply replacing hours
from employees cut by adding them on to existing employees' workloads.
Too many small businesses cut staff when they need to cut costs,
according to Rauseo. "Make the changes that will make the company better
instead of damaging the very thing that made it successful in the first
place - its employees," Rauseo said.

Thread Sealant for High Pressure Gaseous and
Fluid Power Systems
ROCKY HILL, CT: Henkel Corporation has introduced a new thread
sealant, Loctite(R) 5452(TM), specifically formulated for use on metal
fittings found in high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic power systems.
Curing four times faster than traditional anaerobic sealants even on
stainless steel or inert metals, Loctite(R) 5452(TM) allows fittings
under low pressure to be returned to service immediately. Designed to
fill, seal and secure the air space between threads, this sealant
contains no fillers or particles that could contaminate system fluids,
foul valves or clog fine filters/screens. This thixotropic purple gel
works well on any size NPT, O-ring boss (ORB) or JIC fitting, and
prevents rotation that ultimately leads to leakage on dry seal fittings.
Loctite(R) 5452(TM) locks fittings from vibrational loosening, yet
offers controlled strength for easy disassembly. This product seals
mating surfaces of flare-style fittings, filling scratches and surface
imperfections. --- Henkel Corp.
