Here’s one example of why immigrants have been the secret sauce of the success of American economy for generations. The entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants cannot be denied.
“Immigrants and children of immigrants are creating new businesses at more than twice the rate of other Americans. If we stop immigration, we are basically stopping economic growth in this country.” @RepJohnDelaney at #NIIC2018pic.twitter.com/iP3s5I97VG
Being a freelance worker is tough. You will be responsible for generating your own work, and you will rarely have a guaranteed salary. Here are some effective ways of raising your profile as a freelancer.
Get on Social Media
Social media mastery will help a huge amount when it comes to raising your profile. The best social media platform for you to promote yourself on will depend on the type of work you do. Different platforms will be better suited to different kinds of content. In some cases, you can share your work directly through social media, but in most cases, you will use the platforms to promote yourself instead.
The artificial intelligence revolution may just be getting started, but it’s having a real impact, particularly in large companies as you can see from this video. Deloitte is using artificial intelligence to automate more routine tasks, freeing up their employees to focus on tasks that leverage their skills as opposed to eating up time.
This makes them much more productive, with better results that take less time. Yet it’s also a trend that will threaten many jobs, which will be a challenge for society even if companies draw large benefits.
Every year, there are new changes, developments, opportunities, and crises in every sector. And with the advancement in technology that has been witnessed in the 21st, it is clear that we are no longer in a world where what happens in one region or part of the planet has no impact on other regions or states. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The ability to progress financially or economically is dependent on global infrastructure, so if something affects the Chinese market, its impact must be felt in virtually all markets globally to some degree.
Last weekend bankers and dignitaries from around the world descended on Washington for the annual World Bank–IMF meetings. But just a few days before, the conference rooms were not only still available at Trump International, they were heavily discounted. On October 2, a deluxe room, with a rack rate of $805, could be had for as low $445 a night on Hotels.com. All other five-star D.C. downtown hotels were sold out. By Wednesday, October 5, weekend stays in the deluxe rooms were marked down to $404 per night on Trump International’s own website. The more luxurious 500-square-foot executive rooms, with a city view and marble bath, were only $484. By comparison, at the Waldorf-Astoria in Georgetown, the only available rooms were $1,139 per night, according to Hotels.com.
Mark Cuban predicted this, and it will be interesting to see if this trend continues after the election.
Be careful before taking out huge loans to get a degree from a for-profit college. Make sure you're not getting suckered into for-profit college scams that leave you with no job and huge debt.
