— Trump administration is recalling about 30 career diplomats. DD: Are/were you a career employee? I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, almost 3 for the Post Office, almost 9 for IRS, and almost 18 for GAO. But my Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates not only ignored/dismissed/belittled my postal employment, they used it against me; they were furious that I had almost 3 years of federal seniority when I started at IRS. And my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates not only ignored/dismissed/belittled my IRS employment, they used it against me; they were beyond furious that I had almost 12 years of federal seniority when I started at GAO. Because of that seniority, I had more vacation day and sick days. Because of that seniority, I got a preferred corner office at GAO. Because of that seniority I got the “opportunity” to get a $25,000 buyout and to take early retirement when I was 45 in 1993.

— Gen Z college graduates are facing tough odds in the job market. With a historically bad job market, phantom job listings and a loss of entry-level positions due to AI, young Philadelphians are sounding the alarm. DD: What entry-level jobs did you have? I had three. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 years old in 1970. My first entry-level job was a Retail Sales Manager for a Firestone Store. My salary was about $50,000/year in today’s dollars for a 44-hour workweek. In 1971, my second entry-level job was a GS-7 IRS Revenue Officer. The salary was $55,850/year in today’s dollars. To get that job, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination. My taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola helped me get promoted to GS-9 ($68,315/year) in 1972, to GS-11 ($82,655/year) in 1973, and to GS-12 ($99,069/year) in 1974. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. In 1980, my third entry-level job was a GS-9 Step 10 GAO Analyst. The salary was $88,808/year in today’s dollars. To get that job, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and almost earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. My salary was $153,151/year in today’s dollars almost 18 years later in 1997, after I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, after I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, after I became a licensed CPA in 1981, after I earned four more professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and after I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

— America Needs More Husband Material. Marriage, disdained by many elites, has collapsed among the working class. DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasing destroy traditional marriage and family.

By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $108,978/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971.

I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not earn a master’s degree in finance until I was 48. By then, it was too late.

— Here’s What Workers Say Matters Most in a Job in 2026 and What They’ll Do to Get It. DD: What about the importance of what employers do?

https://www.moneytalksnews.com/heres-what-workers-say-matters-most-in-a-job-in-and-what-theyll-do-to-get-it/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Key findings include: 85% of workers said remote work now matters more than salary when evaluating a job. 69% have switched, or seriously considered switching, career fields. Gen Z professionals reported struggling to build momentum and wanting stronger support. Working parents were stretched thin, with 65% saying remote work would better support their families. And across the workforce, return-to-office mandates have been straining trust and loyalty.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The technical assistance document also offers examples of specific circumstances that may implicate this new guidance on national origin discrimination, including: Using discriminatory job advertisements, such as those that include the employer’s preference for or requirement of applicants from a particular country or with a particular visa status (e.g., “H-1B preferred” or “H-1B only”). Terminating American employees who are on the “bench” between job assignments at a higher rate than employees who are visa guest workers. Requiring American workers to participate in more burdensome application processes than H-1B visa holders during the PERM labor certification process. Allowing the harassment of employees based on their national origin, accent, or ethnicity, through unwelcome remarks or conduct. Retaliating against an employee who engaged in protected activity under Title VII, such as objecting to or opposing national origin discrimination at work, participating in employer or EEOC investigations, or filing an EEOC charge.

The Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the Post Office job by earning a high school diploma and passing the postal employment examination. I qualified myself for the IRS job by earning a bachelor’s degree in business and passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt.
