There is nothing wrong with planning for the future. If you are a cab driver, or a truck driver, or an Uber driver, now is the time to plan for what you will do when your job disappears. And for what we should do for you.

Randolph Sanders was arrested by Philadelphia police over the weekend after he confessed to killing his boss. He told police he decided to kill Kim Jones because he suspected she was planning to report him for allegedly stealing money from the child advocacy group they worked for.

The small staff of Boston.com, the breaking-news site associated with The Boston Globe, is still reeling from weeks of internal unrest stemming from a series a viral posts about a Harvard professor and a Chinese restaurant published in early December, which resulted in a retraction, some disciplinary actions, and a suspension for one staffer. The turmoil’s latest casualty, however, involves a previously unrelated party: a young journalist who was about to start a fellowship at BuzzFeed.

Did you know that if your coworkers quit, your chance of getting a raise goes up? There's a "'very clear' correlation between resignations and pay raises." I beg my coworkers to quit each and every day.

Since the Great Recession of 2008, the political focus has shifted in turn from widespread unemployment, to acute long-term unemployment, and, now, to the perils of widespread part-time underemployment. Does part-time work have to mean full-time poverty?

Earlier this week, Texas governor Rick Perry gloated that his "pro-business" policies allowed his state to steal 3,000 Toyota jobs from California. If true, that would be terrible public policy. But it now appears it's not true, which is even worse.

Panic over the undetermined future of the millenial class continues as the New York Times reports on the overwhelming number of the post-graduate set who are still toiling at unpaid internships. Taking on two, sometimes three internships with no pay, many fear that interning has become its own career path, instead of a bridge to solid employment. As Alex Williams reports:

A Florida Wal-Mart worker shot up another employee's car after the other worker won employee of the month, investigators believe.

A Michigan man was fired last month after he left his position greeting customers at the entrance to a store and rushed with a fire extinguisher to put out a car fire in the parking lot.

The ongoing movement to raise the wages of fast food workers got a boost today from two new reports that attempt to quantify just how much those low wages cost society as a whole. It's a lot.

Applicants for a mid-level job at a home appliance retailer say they were shocked when the store informed them their success hinged on their ability to defeat others in a dance-off set to Daft Punk.

In 2006, the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance requiring large retailers to pay workers a "living wage" of $10 an hour, plus benefits. The mayor vetoed the bill. In a few months, Wal-Mart will open a new store in Chicago, with starting pay of $8.75 per hour. Who won? We offer you a new round of true stories from Wal-Mart employees to help you judge.

This is perhaps not the most surprising news but, according to a new study, most Americans are unhappy at work.

The job description is simple enough:

It's well known by now that you can spend outrageous sums to get a college degree only to find yourself jobless, through no real fault of your own. But it's also well known that college degrees are a decent bet, statistically speaking. I guess what the latest report is saying is: We ain't promising you the moon, okay?

Both landing a job and finding a way to fulfill sexual fantasies can be difficult things to do. Sadly, after writing a bomb threat on the back of his restaurant job application, a man in Nebraska is no closer to achieving either goal.

We joke around a lot in a good-natured fashion about how recent graduates of law school are fucked up, down, and sideways. "You guys are just straight fucked," we often say (joshingly). Well—imagine our surprise when we found out that, in fact, recent graduates of law school really are fucked. Yikes! Touchy subject.

How bad is America's neverending recession? So bad that The American Man—mind enfeebled by Axe body spray fumes and Spanx-induced circulatory cutoff—now thinks nothing of taking a job that has traditionally been held primarily by women, so that he may earn money to pay for food, clothing, and shelter. The evidence is clear: "An analysis of census data by The New York Times shows that from 2000 to 2010, occupations that are more than 70 percent female accounted for almost a third of all job growth for men, double the share of the previous decade."

A man we'll call Robert has a profile on the employment website Monster.com, and earlier today he received a message from a recruiter about a job in "beautiful Northwest Arkansas."
