After almost eight years of working and giving my whole dedication to the job that I am at to, finally, yesterday the company has shutdown and all of us has got our separation pay. Though that amount was not the way we expected, I myself was still thankful that I received that money. Why? Cause on that small amount I can have something to spend for some weeks until I haven’t found a new job. Besides I have hear lots of company thatclosed and the employees were not given backwages or some have even waited for couple of months just for the backwage.

Now, I am just trying to spend some days with my baby and though I was just here at home, I’m trying to look for some money here on the web. I m also looking for the job vacancy that was posted on the web and trying my luck there.

I was just hoping and praying that I will soon find a work even though the pay wasn’t that high as long as I have something to bring home for my baby will be enough for me. I am not that materialistic and on this days, it is really important to have work than any other things. Besides that I was hoping to find a job were I will also enjoy and love.

Apple has been riding a wave of success like nothing they have seen before, ever since they brought iPods to consumers. The computer company had reportedly made more than $3.1 billion over the last four years and stocks have been incredibly high because of it.

Now in what could be the next Enron, Apple has admitted that their is evidence to prove that their stocks were grossly mishandled and that’s it financial accuracy dating back to 2002 might well be false.

Apple shares fell $3.26, or 4.7 percent, to $66.33 and might continue to fall as Apple looks into their own finances to get a hold of things.

Ford Motor Co. reported that for the first quarter they have posted a $1.2 billion dollar loss. This is the mostly costly loss in four years and happens at a time when Ford is frantically trying to bring about major changes.

Ford’s North American automotive unit, which has been struggling with declining sales and high fixed costs, reported a pretax loss of $2.9 billion in the first quarter, including one-time items. Ford said that was primarily due to lower sales, increased incentives, acceleration of charges related to plant closings and losses at former Visteon Corp. plants now under the control of a Ford-managed entity.

Worldwide, Ford’s automotive operations lost $2.7 billion before taxes, compared with a profit of $473 million a year ago. That included $2.5 billion in one-time special items such as restructuring charges. Ford sold 1.7 million vehicles worldwide, up 3 percent from a year ago.

“While we are not satisfied with our performance, particularly a loss in North America automotive, we are encouraged by the success in our global operations and at the Ford Motor Credit Company,” Chairman and Chief Executive Bill Ford said in a statement. “We have said we intend to restore automotive profitability in North America by no later than 2008 and we remain committed to deliver on our promise.”

The data is all over the board these days when it comes to the US economy. Reuters is reporting:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Industrial production and consumer sentiment reports came in on the weak side on Friday, the latest data to support the view that higher oil prices could lead to slower U.S. growth in the second quarter.

The Federal Reserve said U.S. industrial production rose 0.3 percent in March, as expected, but February’s output was revised down to a 0.2 percent increase from the 0.3 percent gain previously reported.

The latest measure of April consumer confidence also bespoke a more uncertain economic outlook as energy costs soared. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index slid to 88.7 from 92.6 in March, according to market sources who saw the subscription-only report.
