Within in the next three years, one out of three babies born in the United States will be Hispanic. Hispanic American families have become a force, soon spending $1.5 trillion a year on goods, creating jobs for the companies that jump on the opportunity.

While there has been a lot of talk about jobs being shipped across the border to Mexico, there is one company that is actually sending jobs to the United States.]]>baked goodsdr. pepper snapple groupGrupo Bimbohispanicmade in the USAMexicoABC News2013-05-15T13:00:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/05/14/workers-forced-practice-scientology-lawsuit/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/05/14/workers-forced-practice-scientology-lawsuit/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/05/14/workers-forced-practice-scientology-lawsuit/#commentsBy Alan Farnham

The federal government is accusing a Miami business of having forced employees to practice Scientology.

She says that she loved her job.

"I had a great run," Rifkin, 40, told ABC News. "I was making bonus. T-Mobile was good to me. I never had a problem getting a schedule I wanted. I enjoyed it. I had even left another company to work at T-Mobile because they had great benefits."]]>discrimination in the workplaceKristi Rifkinpregnancy discriminationT-MobileABC News2013-05-02T06:19:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/04/25/isabella-barrett-millionaire/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/04/25/isabella-barrett-millionaire/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/04/25/isabella-barrett-millionaire/#commentsABC News' Taylor Behrendt reports:

Isabella Barrett made it big on the TLC hit-show "Toddlers & Tiaras" and many viewed her as the newest star on the kiddie-pageant circuit.

"I felt like a cheap whore," says Vincent Burroughs. In August 2011, at 9 p.m. on a warm night in Eugene, Ore., Burroughs said he opened his front door to Dora Abrahamson. She was an IRS agent. She was auditing him. The two had never met.]]>auditIRSIRS auditlawsuitABC News2013-04-12T16:29:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/25/men-teachers-elementary-school/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/25/men-teachers-elementary-school/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/25/men-teachers-elementary-school/#commentsBy Susan Donaldson James

When Philip Wiederspan began teaching first-grade at age 25, he was the only male, except for the gym teacher. His former New Jersey college friends would look at him in shock when they learned his profession: "How can you do that? You must have a lot of patience."

"It requires a lot of patience," he said. "They are babies when they come in, just out of kindergarten, and by the end of the year, they are independent and can work on something by themselves for 10 minutes. Then they come back in September and, my God, they're babies, again."]]>elementary schoolmale teachersteacherteachersABC News2013-03-25T09:18:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/21/giuliani-pitchman-lifelock/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/21/giuliani-pitchman-lifelock/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/21/giuliani-pitchman-lifelock/#commentsBy Alan Farnham

Rudy Giuliani, former crime-busting mayor of New York City, has taken a new job: TV pitchman.

Television ads featuring the 2008 presidential candidate and onetime D.A. have recently begun airing. In them, Giuliani warns viewers of the dangers of identity theft and touts the services of ID-protection company LifeLock.]]>LifeLockRudy GiulianispokesmanspokespersonABC News2013-03-21T10:03:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/20/cvs-pharmacy-requires-workers-health-info-or-theyll-pay-600/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/20/cvs-pharmacy-requires-workers-health-info-or-theyll-pay-600/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/20/cvs-pharmacy-requires-workers-health-info-or-theyll-pay-600/#comments By Steve Osunsami

A new policy by CVS Pharmacy requires every one of its nearly 200,000 employees who use its health plan to submit their weight, body fat, glucose levels and other vitals or pay a monthly fine.

Employees who agree to this testing will see no change in their health insurance rates, but those who refuse will have to pay an extra $50 per month -- or $600 per year -- for the company's health insurance program. All employees have until May 1, 2014, to make an appointment with a doctor and record their vitals.]]>CVSCVS Pharmacyhealth insurancehealthcareABC News2013-03-20T10:29:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/15/taco-bell-job-creation/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/15/taco-bell-job-creation/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/15/taco-bell-job-creation/#comments #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-737596{display:none;} .cke_show_borders #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-737596, #postcontentcontainer #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-737596{width:620px;height:439px;display:block;}

It may take a village to raise a child. But all it takes to raise employment is a taco.

That seems to be the situation at Taco Bell, anyway, which added 15,000 employees last year, company chief executive Greg Creed told the Daily Beast, largely on one new product.]]>Doritos Locos Tacosjob creationnew jobsTaco BellABC News2013-03-15T09:35:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/12/high-school-coach-troy-hennum/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/12/high-school-coach-troy-hennum/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/03/12/high-school-coach-troy-hennum/#commentsA high school softball coach has resigned after he was accused of using his team of girls to find him dates. Troy Hennum submitted his resignation to Seattle Public Schools on Friday, officials said, after his dating scavenger hunt was brought to their attention by a woman who said she was targeted for a date.

Long-term unemployment: "The invisible problem," Joe Carbone calls it, because so many of the 6 million workers affected are too ashamed or too despondent to talk about it:

Six million Americans -- many of them older -- have been out of work so long (two years or more) that they have exhausted all their unemployment benefits. Many have depleted their savings. Yet they have little hope of landing a job, partly because employers discriminate against them.]]>Joe Carbonelong-term unemploymentP2EPlatform to EmploymentunemployedABC News2013-02-27T09:07:00+00:00http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/02/26/bankrupt-san-bernardino-manager/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/02/26/bankrupt-san-bernardino-manager/http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/02/26/bankrupt-san-bernardino-manager/#commentsBy Alan Farnham

On the theory, perhaps, that it takes one to run one, the bankrupt city of San Bernardino, Calif., has hired as its new manager a man who twice has declared personal bankruptcy. Allen J. Parker, 71, hired last week for the $221,000 post, first filed for bankruptcy in 1991, then filed again in 2011, Reuters reports, citing court documents. Court records also show that Parker and his wife, as a condition of discharging their debts, were required to take a course in personal financial management.]]>Allen J.

LONDON - Painter Tomas Georgeson has artfully tried to drum up attendance at a London gallery by hiding $12,500 -- most of his life savings -- among the paintings and other artworks for the taking if anyone can find it.

He has cooked for more than 120 people at a time, worked in top restaurants across the country, and entertains 12 people at his home monthly for an 18-course meal. These accomplishments may seem like the work of a veteran chef, but this cook is only 14 years old.
