Poor Tuesday. Lost in the sea of a shortened work week. It’s not the dreaded Monday. It’s not Hump Day/first of July. It’s not Thursday, which this week is Friday. It just sits there, waiting to be ignored.

The news stops for no one, however. And once again the news world was buzzing with huge stories (another plane crash, Franken being declared a winner of his race). In all that were plenty of stories about jobs, job search and the workplace. Here’s what we enjoyed reading today:

A new minimum wage goes into effect this month for many people.
State minimum wage going up a quarter
If you’re looking for work, why not advertise on the back of your car?
Another Sign of the Times
We Work Buzzers would never, ever think of uttering a bad word.
What the #%@&!?: The problem of profanity in the workplace
Dumb economy’s depriving children of the joy of fireworks (and boring car trips to relatives they don’t care for).
Jobs, Income Slow 4th of July Travel

About Anthony Balderrama

Anthony Balderrama writes about hiring trends, workplace issues and job search tactics for CareerBuilder.com and its blog The Work Buzz. He was born and raised in Dallas (115° degrees isn’t hot!) before moving to Chicago (-23° isn’t cold!). He studied creative writing, therefore everything he writes is usually cut in half once he realizes he spent 400 words just on the intro. He knows that looking for a job and dealing with co-workers are not always fun activities, and reading about them is even less thrilling. That’s why he’ll take any opportunity he can to mention his favorite TV show or band in an article. Basically Anthony’s doing whatever he can to avoid hate mail.
