			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-45" title="Lifelock jobs" src="http://articles.arizonajobs.com/files/2010/06/internet-safety.jpg" alt="Lifelock jobs" width="200" height="200" />Those with <a href="http://www.lifelock.jobs/jobs">LifeLock jobs</a> are doing their part to warn consumers of potential identity theft complications.</p>
<p>After being declared as National Internet Safety Month by the <a href="http://www.senate.gov/">U.S. Senate</a>, LifeLock is using the month of June as a time to educate consumers about the potential threats of online identity theft. <a href="http://www.lifelock.com/?v=5">LifeLock</a> is an industry leader in proactive identity theft protection.</p>
<p>The company is encouraging Internet safety organizations, law enforcement, educators and others to use the month of June to increase their efforts to raise awareness about the potential threats found online, including identity theft.</p>
<p><span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>"Every day there are millions upon millions of consumers around the world using peer-to-peer file sharing networks to download or share movies, software or other documents over the Internet," Todd Davis, Chairman and CEO of LifeLock, said. "Identity thieves are using these same networks to peer into computers and access files like tax returns that contain the personally identifiable information of consumers, potentially putting unknowing consumers at risk for identity theft. It's in the best interest of consumers everywhere to uninstall file-sharing programs to lessen their vulnerabilities."</p>
<p>Anyone who uses file-sharing <a href="http://articles.jobs4it.com/phoenix-technology-jobs/">technology</a> can unintentionally expose the contents of their hard drives to other people on the network. Identity thieves can access and download personal information simply by searching for specific keywords.</p>
<p>A 2009 episode of <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/">The Today Show</a> demonstrated how easy it is to find this type of information by uncovering 25,800 student loan applications, more than 150,000 tax returns, and about 626,000 credit reports on file-sharing networks.</p>
<p>An article published by <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/">The Washington Post</a> earlier this year reported that the <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/">Federal Trade Commission</a> was warning almost 100 organizations, including companies, schools and local governments, that personal information of their customers or employees - ranging from <a href="http://www.socialsecurity.gov/">Social Security</a> numbers to health information to drivers' licenses - had been leaked to file-sharing networks.</p>
<p>LifeLock is the only American company that offers an identity theft solution to help detect breaches of personal information on peer to peer file-sharing networks and provide a closed-loop solution.</p>

<p>A recent report from the U.S. Department of Labor <a href="http://www.bls.gov">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a> found that veterans in the state had an unemployment rate of 6.7 percent during 2009, which is lower than the <a href="http://articles.localcareers.com/veterans-jobs/">national</a> average of 8.1 percent. There were 525,000 veterans in <a href="http://az.gov/">Arizona</a> that year, of which 266,000 were in the workforce and 206,000 were seeking full-time jobs.</p>
<p>The report found that Michigan had the highest veteran unemployment rate during 2009, at 15.1 percent. On the other hand, North Dakota had the lowest veteran unemployment rate, at 4.5 percent. However, that state only has 52,000 veterans, 33,000 of which are in the workforce.</p>
<p><span id="more-41"></span></p>
<p>There are currently about 22.2 million veterans throughout the nation, with 12.1 million active in the workforce.</p>
<p>The report further found:</p>
<ul>
<li> Male veterans ages 18 to 24 who served during Gulf War era II had an unemployment rate of 21.6 percent during 2009, which is only slightly higher than the unemployment rate for comparable non-veterans of 19.1 percent.</li>
<li>Male veterans ages 18 to 24 were also more likely to participate in the labor force last year than their non-veteran counterparts at a rate of 79.1 percent versus 69.1 percent.</li>
<li>Disabled veterans from all service periods had an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent during August 2009, which is only slightly lower than the 8.3 percent unemployment rate for non-disabled veterans.</li>
<li>About one in three employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked in the public sector, while one in five disabled veterans were employed by the federal government.</li>
<li>Gulf War era II veterans who were current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard had an unemployment rate of 10.6 percent during 2009, compared to a 13.8 percent unemployment rate for those who had not been members of those entities.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-37" title="Arizona manufacturing jobs" src="http://articles.arizonajobs.com/files/2010/01/nn-inc.jpg" alt="Arizona manufacturing jobs" width="200" height="200" />One company's plan to close a local facility will result in the loss of more than 100 <a href="http://arizona.jobing.com/cat/manufacturing-and-production">Arizona manufacturing jobs</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nnbr.com/">NN, Inc.</a> recently announced that it will close <a href="http://www.whirlawaycorporation.com/">Whirlaway Corporation</a>, the company's Tempe-based metals manufacturing facility, in a move that will result in the loss of 130 jobs. According to an article by the <a href="http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/">Phoenix Business Journal</a>, those workers will be offered severance payments, continuation of benefits and <a href="http://www.recruitersnetwork.com/outplacement-services.htm">outplacement assistance</a> from an unnamed company.</p>
<p>Tennessee-based NN, Inc. acquired its Tempe facility when the company purchased Whirlaway Corporation in 2006. The current condition of the economy, along with NN, Inc.'s long-term manufacturing strategy for Whirlaway, prompted the company to consolidate its manufacturing resources in Ohio.</p>
<p><span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p>Whirlaway, which had sales of about $12 million last year, produces high-precision metal products, including fluid control components, assemblies and shafts. NN, Inc., which had sales of $425 million during 2008, manufactures high precision metal bearing components, industrial plastic products, rubber products and precision metal components.</p>
<p>Although Arizona's overall <a href="http://www.blogswithjobs.com/2010/01/06/arizona-jobs/">economy</a> has been improving, and the manufacturing industry has managed to add jobs on a monthly basis as of late, a significant amount of workers in the industry have been lost from year-to-year.</p>
<p>The state's manufacturing industry employed 161,300 workers during November 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Labor <a href="http://www.bls.gov">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>. This is up from 160,300 workers during October, but a 6.7 percent decrease from November 2008.</p>
<p>During November, Arizona's unemployment rate decreased from 9.3 percent to 8.9 percent, following an increase from 9.1 percent during October. The recent decrease places the state's current unemployment rate lower than the national rate of 10 percent.</p>
<p><a href="http://az.gov/">Arizona</a> had a total non-farm employment of 2,415,300 workers during November, up from 2,411,000 workers during October, but a 5.6 percent decrease from the previous year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-33" src="http://articles.arizonajobs.com/files/2009/11/abraxis.JPG" alt="Abraxis" width="200" height="200" />A Los Angeles-based drug manufacturing company is planning to expand and create hundreds of jobs in Arizona (<a href="http://arizona.jobing.com/BrowseCompanies.asp">Click here</a>).</p>
<p>Abraxis Health, the healthcare division of <a href="http://www.abraxisbio.com/">Abraxis BioScience Inc.</a>, recently opened a $70 million biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility in <a href="http://www.phoenix.gov/">Phoenix</a>. That plant is expected to create up to 200 high-tech jobs. Abraxis manufactures a chemotherapy drug that uses nanoparticles.</p>
<p>Abraxis is known for manufacturing Abraxane, which has received approval from the U.S. <a href="http://www.fda.gov/">Food and Drug Administration</a> and 38 other countries for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. The drug is now in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of pancreatic, melanoma and lung cancer.</p>
<p><span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p>The company's new facility has the capacity to produce more than 10 million units of Abraxane and that number could eventually be expanded to 20 million units, which is enough for global distribution. Overall, the new plant could end up being a $100 million investment.</p>
<p>Abraxis has had a presence in <a href="http://az.gov/">Arizona</a> for the last few years. During 2007, the company purchased the former Phoenix site of <a href="http://www.watson.com/">Watson Pharmaceuticals</a>. During 2008, the company invested $15 million into <a href="http://www.catapultbio.org/">Catapult Bio</a>, a non-profit philanthropic organization that grants funding to help commercialize late-stage discovery research. That company requires that any <a href="http://onrecexpo2007.ning.com/profiles/blogs/arizona-jobs-to-grow-during">expansions</a> be done in Arizona.</p>
<p>"What could have been a major failure, the closing of the Watson facility, has actually turned into a big win," Robert Green, president and CEO of the <a href="http://azbio.org/">Arizona BioIndustry Association</a>, told <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/">Bizjournals</a>. "The landing of a firm as prestigious as Abraxis surely gets noticed in the industry and helps build our international reputation. Our job now is to welcome the staff and ensure they are integrated into our community."</p>

<p><a href="http://www.gore.com/en_xx/">W.L. Gore &amp; Associates</a> recently announced that it will seek approval from the <a href="http://www.ci.phoenix.az.us/">City of Phoenix</a> for up to $30 million in bonds to help finance the company's local expansion. The project would create 1,800 construction jobs during the next two years and 500 permanent jobs with the company.</p>
<p>According to an article by <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/">The Arizona Republic</a>, available jobs at the new manufacturing facility will include positions in research and development, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, marketing, technical oversight and management.</p>
<p><span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.phoenixida.com/">Phoenix Industrial Development Authority</a> already pre-approved up to $30 million in recovery-zone bonds for the project and could give final approval by the end of the year. However, the <a href="http://phoenix.gov/mayorcouncil/about/index.html">Phoenix City Council</a> also must approve the project before the bonds can be used, which are part of Arizona's share of $130 million in recovery-zone bonds from the federal stimulus.</p>
<p>Gore, a Delaware-based company that manufactures <a href="http://s4tconsulting.ning.com/profiles/blogs/phoenix-medical-jobs">medical</a> products, has a main base in Flagstaff, Ariz., that employs more than 1,500 workers. The Phoenix expansion project, which would house the company in two 100,000-square-foot buildings, is expected to cost about $100 million.</p>
<p>The new construction jobs would be a welcome addition to the construction industry in Phoenix, which has taken a big hit amidst the current economic recession.</p>
<p>The Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale area's construction industry employed 102,300 workers during September, according to the U.S. Department of Labor <a href="http://www.bls.gov">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>. This is down from 103,400 workers during August and a 25.5 percent decrease from last year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13" src="http://articles.arizonajobs.com/files/2009/11/UMC-Tucson.jpg" alt="UMC Tucson" width="200" height="200" />Those with - or looking for - <a href="http://tucson.jobing.com/cat/healthcare">Tucson medical jobs</a> could benefit from a new report that named <a href="http://www.umcaz.org/">The University Medical Center Tucson</a> among the nation's 10 best hospitals.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.beckersasc.com/hospital-review/hospital-review/">Becker's Hospital Review</a> recently released its list of the 10 best hospitals in America for 2009. The organizations included in the list are leaders in quality care and innovation. Most have been recognized by <a href="http://www.usnews.com/">U.S. News &amp; World Report</a>, <a href="http://thomsonreuters.com/">Thomson Reuters</a>, <a href="http://www.healthgrades.com/">HealthGrades</a>, <a href="http://www.leapfroggroup.org/">The Leapfrog Group</a>, their local communities and <a href="http://indepedentrecruiters.ning.com/profiles/blogs/tucson-jobs-get-sunny-outlook">other industry</a> associations.</p>
<p>BHR stated that the 38-year-old University Medical Center Tucson made the list because it consistently pushes the quality envelope in many directions. The hospital, which has 355 beds, is part of the <a href="http://www.ahsc.arizona.edu/">Arizona Health Sciences Center</a>, which is located near the University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health.</p>
<p><span id="more-10"></span></p>
<p>Although the medical center was part of the university when it was founded in 1971, it is now a separate, non-profit organization that keeps strong ties with the university. UMC Tucson is Arizona's only academic health sciences center. It also has a presence on the <a href="http://www.asu.edu/president/library/news/biomedical.html">Phoenix Biomedical Campus</a>.</p>
<p>The hospital oversees a large, high-tech research enterprise that recently developed a two-drug therapy to reduce the risk of recurrent colorectal polyps. It also is home to Andrew Weil, MD, who is known for founding integrative medicine and preferring botanical medicines to prescription drugs.</p>
<p>UMC Tucson barely placed in U.S. News' 2009 specialty rankings, which focus on long-established university centers. However, Thomson Reuters, whose rankings focus on objective measures, this year recognized UMC Tucson on its list of Top Hospitals, naming the hospital as one of only 15 major teaching institutions and giving it the elite Everest Award, which is meant for the top 25 hospitals on the list.</p>
<p>This year, UMC Tucson also won the <a href="https://www.uhc.edu/">University HealthSystem Consortium</a>'s Quality Leadership Award and the Consumer Choice Award for the region from the <a href="http://www.nationalresearch.com/">National Research Corporation</a>, as well as the Magnet Recognition from the <a href="http://www.nursecredentialing.org/">American Nurses Credentialing Center</a> in 2003.</p>
<p>Other hospitals on BHR's list include:</p>
<ul>
<li> Duke University Hospital in Durham, N.C.</li>
<li> Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore</li>
<li> Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pa.</li>
<li> Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston</li>
<li> Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.</li>
<li> NYU Langone Medical Center in New York</li>
<li> Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles</li>
<li> University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers in Ann Arbor</li>
<li> Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-24" src="http://articles.arizonajobs.com/files/2009/10/arra.jpg" alt="ARRA" width="200" height="200" />Is the American <a href="http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/home.aspx">Recovery and Reinvestment Act</a> doing its part to create <a href="http://arizona.jobing.com/cat/government">Arizona state jobs</a> and other positions throughout the state? The answer to that question depends on who you ask.</p>
<p>As of the end of September, a total of $139 million in contracts had helped to create or save about 657 jobs in <a href="http://az.gov/">Arizona</a>. While that may seem like a large number, naysayers think it is only a small number compared to the total number of jobs the stimulus is expected to create throughout the state.</p>
<p>Overall, Arizona is expected to receive about $14.6 billion in federal stimulus money, but so far the state has only seen about 1 percent of that.</p>
<p><span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>According to an article by <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/">The Arizona Republic</a>, more than $6 billion has been earmarked for state and local governments in Arizona. So far, money has gone to federal agencies and private businesses as well as state and local governments.</p>
<p>One reason why Arizona has only seen a small percentage of its expected total from the stimulus is the fact that half of the federal <a href="http://onrecexpo2007.ning.com/profiles/blogs/arizona-jobs-to-grow-during">work slated throughout the state</a> has yet to begin. In addition, firms in Arizona have another $32 million in stimulus contracts for work outside the state, but most of that work is still in early planning stages.</p>
<p>Two projects have accounted for almost half of the jobs created or saved in Arizona, including the <a href="http://www.phoenix.gov/TRESRIOS/index.html">Tres Rios Wetlands</a>-restoration project in Tolleson and the construction of 14 new homes for the poor and elderly on the <a href="http://www.pascuayaqui-nsn.gov/">Pascua Yaqui</a> Reservation in Tucson.</p>
<p>According to the U.S. Department of Labor <a href="http://www.bls.gov">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, Arizona has lost 268,000 jobs since the recession began in December 2007.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president-obama/">President Barack Obama</a> has estimated that the stimulus could help create or save 70,000 jobs in Arizona, including indirect benefits from provisions such as tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/">White House</a> officials recently reported that the stimulus has created or saved anywhere from 600,000 jobs to 1.5 million jobs throughout the country.</p>

<p>During September, the <a href="http://www.phoenix.gov/">Phoenix</a>-Mesa-Scottsdale area saw its unemployment rate stay steady at 8.6 percent, unchanged from August and a slight decrease from the area's 8.7 percent unemployment rate during July. The current rate also is lower than the national unemployment rate of 9.8 percent.</p>
<p>The area had a total non-farm employment of 1,708,800 workers during September, according to the U.S. Department of Labor <a href="http://www.bls.gov">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>. This is up from 1,700,500 workers during August, but an 8 percent decrease from last year.</p>
<p><span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>Three industries saw an increase in employment on a monthly basis, including education and <a href="http://s4tconsulting.ning.com/profiles/blogs/phoenix-medical-jobs">health services</a> by 1,100 jobs, other services by 200 jobs and government by 15,100 jobs. The mining and logging industry employed 3,100 workers, the same as during August.</p>
<p>No industries managed to add jobs on a yearly basis. The construction industry took the biggest hit when compared to last year, employing 102,300 workers during September, which is down from 103,400 workers during August and a 25.5 percent decrease from last year. The next biggest yearly employment decline came in the mining and logging industry, which lost 20.5 percent of its jobs when compared to last year.</p>
<p>Other industries that saw an over-the-year decrease in employment include:</p>
<ul>
<li>manufacturing by 8 percent</li>
<li>trade, transportation and utilities by 8.1 percent</li>
<li>information by 5.3 percent</li>
<li>financial activities by 6.5 percent</li>
