Charles J Dushek presents Recycle

Human Resources
Chuck Dushek and Phil Sweeney are the Thought Leaders of this project vision
established to re-employ laid-off or fired senior age workers (Age 50 to 65) back into
meaningful high wage employment with health and welfare benefits, until the participants
can qualify by age or disability condition for Social Security benefits and Medicare
healthcare benefits.

State of the Economy and Work Force

The United States has at least 15 million underemployed individuals and the number of
unemployed (not defined by the U.S) is about 6 million. Thats amazing considering the
total labor force at 135 million.The 6-7% unemployment number the US Govt is using, is
bogus. In credible statistical terms, it is more like 10-12%, just like it is in Europe today
Same type of economies as the US. Seniors have been fired or laid-off from their jobs
primarily due to their age, inorder to make way for the corporate hiring of younger, lower
wage cost employees in skilled jobs.
Humans (Seniors) are avaluableresource we have of people with work skills and managerial
ability to be employed and add to the prosperity of the US economy.Higher employment
levels of seniors, creates more gross income across the economy, and hence the financial
means to afford higher education for the youthful people coming into the work force, behind
our seniors after attaining age 65.
Traditionally, manufacturing was the means by which many Americans made a living. Today,
low-cost imports from developing world countries, like China, have displaced US
manufacturing production and senior age job opportunities.Made in America needs to be
re-discovered. That is Doable.
WhentouringFrance a couple years ago, it was near impossible to find China and Asian
imported goods. Frances nationalism spirit protects their work force.In the US, aCore Issue
today is how to achieve a more fully-employed worker economy over the next 10 years.
The challenge is to design community private sector visions and plansfor rebuilding the
countrys work opportunitiesacross the USA, especially for disenfranchised seniors that
have lost their higher paying jobs, before they have reached age 65 to qualify for SS and
Medicare benefits..

Global Employment and Inequality Conditions

Global economic and employment well-being is very unbalanced as large economies in Asia
and especially Japan and China, do not promote openness in imports from other
countries, like from the US. However, I think it is becoming clear, like it or not, humans are
reliant, on each other. And for every human left behind outside the work force, we are
destroying our collective consciousness and life style equalities.
Our global collective consciousness can be likened to a table cloth made of many strands of
fabric woven together. If the fabric unravels, the table cloth is weakened, and employment
balance is weakened globally across all major countries. Washingtons geo-political policy
has been ineffective at promoting and correcting disparity in global employment conditions.
Chinas GDP is growing at 7% and recently near 10%, while the US and Europe has been
near 2% growth. A balance needs to be reset there in geo political initiatives. We need a
type of "U.N." for more global employment equality and balance that the Private Sector has
no global influence over. Global organizations need to address the job losses of capable
seniors willing to be back to work for life-style sustaining wages (Not a Minimum Wage of
$10) and welfare benefits to help these workers be financially sustaining until age 65.Most
advanced countries only have the senior age welfare safety nets for workers past age 60s.

Continue the Economic Success in the U.S.

We have done well in the United States maintaining an excellent standard of living, in
general. Yet, much of the apparent prosperity is from growth in Government Services and
Government Employment, not from absolute wage prosperity and seniors jobs growth in
the private sectors of the economy. In 1985, the Government was 15% of the economy,
now its 25%.Government does not produce much in tangible value across the economy, it
primarily regulates and impedes the private sector. It is hard to turn that trend into
reverse, even with many politicians in favor of smaller federal government. It is unlikely
that the government will have the Guts and Self-interests desire to make itself smaller in
scale compared to the whole of the economy. If visions & actions of new US jobs,
especially for seniors, are to be made, it must come from Visions & Plans & Actions from
the private sector, and mainly from dedicated people in communitiesthis means a lot of
grass root micro-economic solutions that are jobs-creating.

Establish Local U.S Collective Community Efforts

It is the responsibility of ethical and energetic people to put one foot in front of the other.
We can use for-profit commercial strategies and Social Enterprise Businesses to improve
human and environmental well-being (Create new jobs in pollution abatement and recycling
& reusing our waste).We cannot continue to overlook those left behind underemployed
families and seniors, by laying the responsibility off on government.
The Government does not focus on New On Ramps to career employment growth in the
private sector. They focus on Programs of Dependencyfood stamps, 2-year
unemployment benefits, excessive OSHA and mandated healthcare financial burdens on

employers. The Government needs to get more out of the way of private job creation
models, and offer more incentives that enables the private sector to find and employ its
needed solutions.
We have only stated the obvious. We mentioned collective consciousness, which is life.
And by whatever power that sustains our lives, our collective conscious is our responsibility.
Its amazing to us that we are not embracing this resource to empower ourselves and to
enrich lives more at the Community Level.We have become complacent, attempting to
endow our local and federal government with this responsibility. They do not Get It, so we
have record high unemployment and underemploymentof seniors as US jobs race
offshore.Its our citizensresponsibility to use this collective connectivity to promote wellbeing for humanity and the environment across our communities. Government regulates
and retards, it does not Create anything.
How do we determine direction, formalize mission goals and objectives? We suggest
through superb processes we can develop our community mission, goals, and objectives,
and the means to execute them. We have been given this time and this space. Let us not
continue in complacency.

SummaryThe End??? No, This is Just the Beginning!

Where did this idea of recycling human resources evolve? It is through the collective
conscious of Thought Leaderslike You and Us. How do you build a house? The classic
answer is with a sound foundation; someone mentioned, you must dig a hole first. We
have dug the hole. We have left many people behind, especially seniors and our economy
is questionable at best. How have we responded? Think about it. We are now conscious
that we have a big elephant in the roomunemployment and underemployment of seniors
and youth. Lets unleash and rev-up our minds and visions to create more jobs and more
sustainable small businesses across our communities!

One Foot ForwardThe Ideas

1. Chair a working committee of diverse small business and economic talent to discuss
the Vision. What is that Vision? How can communities be creative and cooperative across
its citizenship (Absent Local Government) to be proactive in growing more community
based small business?
2. Can we (Meaning any community based pro small business group) assemble
economically justified visions and plans to encourage, nurture and support small businesses
that create more local jobs?
3. Can non-profit organizations become expansive in social enterprise businesses (Like
Arrowhead Golf Club, park district golf facility, yet a Mega local hospitality center for a bar,
dining and large reception eventsAKA Municipal Enterprise for Wheaton.) and create
business revenue that creates jobs and adds to their humanitarian service capacity?

4. Can we attract the many thousands of Castaway unemployed in their 50s and early 60s
to Onboard with us to have their skills and competencies assessed for finding Best Fit and
reasonable paying jobs for them at Plus $20/hour?
5. Can we do good assessments of the skills and competencies of the managers and
workers to Hold and Promote in a Worker Employee Bank?
6. Can we find local companies that are family-owned by near-retiring owners and seek
friendly take-overs by talented teams of well-matched operating managers and workers to
carry on and grow these businesses?
7. Can we gain support and commitment of local municipalities to purchase their service
and product needs from local small businesses within the same or at least adjacent
community businesses?
8. Can we entice local bankers to advise and help set up small business Buyout and
Start Up programs to grow and sustain more local businesses?
9. Can we organize Oversight Management Boards from existing executive manager
level talents of volunteers in the community, to oversee and proactively advise our small
business in Best Business Practices and Operating Policies?
10. Can we liaison in Small Business Loans for buying out and starting up new local
businesses?
11. Can we interest Private Equity or Angel Investors to help us on the important equity
capitalization of our firms that is needed for us to get access to SBA, Owner Carryback,
and Bank financing plans?
If you are a person age 50 or over and are an employment castaway. Having lost a good
paying job, and desiring a return to the work force to a good paying jobWe want to hear
from You?
Would you like to be a Player with us and our visions?
