What's up /biz/, let's talk labor participation and real unemployment.

>But unemployment is only 5%! It's got to be something else!
You're right. It is something else, because the definition of "unemployed" has been changed by the BLS just about every year for the past 8 years. It's called "labor non-participation". This is all the people who can no longer accept unemployment compensation because they've been unemployed too long; they've given up.
Here's a chart. It was made with data from the...

And because all they do is deliver them, they can't see many reasons _why_ they're not being purchased.
Back in 2003, you bought a 6-inch Marvel Legends Iron Man with 30 points of articulation, a completely unique sculpt, a diorama base, and a comic book packaged in a giant plastic clamshell for $6.99 retail.
Today, they're trying to sell me 4-inch "Marvel Legends" Iron Man with 12 points of articulation, mostly reused parts, no diorama base, and no comic book on a cheap cardboard...

Hey biz,
Haven't been here in a while so I don't know if yall can help. This is a question directed to anyone else involved in ecommerce/shipping. For those who haven't heard, the usps did away with commercial base pricing for customers using their website to print postage. At the same time we also lost access to printing postage for regional rate boxes. What other options do I have now to still have access to commercial base pricing? Is stamps.com a viable route? Are there any other postage providers you recommend?
And general ecommerce thread I suppose
Sucks about the commercial rates, but oh well. Lately usps has been pretty horrible. Go ups.
My father is in need of cash to pay off various debts and is looking into refinancing his home worth approx 1.5m. He currently owes:
200k - mortage 3% interest.
30k - credit card debts 15% interest.
20k - miscellaneous.
His mortage provider (Scotiabank) is refusing to lend any additional money due to his 590 credit rating. He has a mortager broke "friend" who offered him an hard loan structured as:
300k - 350k.
Open mortage.
6% interest for 1 year.
2% fee of total amount (15k to set it up)
Now I don't understand why he...

Yeah don't refi. The credit cards look like the real problem here. See if he can't restructure/consolidate those or go to Lending Club and get a loan for that stated purpose.
Do day traders produce anything of value in society?
I have a great life and plenty of time to shitpost on /biz/ while watching positions on my other screens. That's great value if you ask me.

Does day trading even give you profits? It's like monkey operating a ship. It knows the feedback when it moves the rudder left or right, but does it realize the rocks ahead of it?
Does anybody know a good book on market sizing, due diligence, business valuation, merges&acquisitions, etc. ?
The basic stuff a business consultant would do.

you're not going to make if you're too lazy to even google it

There are some books on google, but I want to find one that covers all of it and that someone here has already read and recommends.
Living in a van, what are the pros and cons?
>>1059413
Expensive and shit.
>>1059417
He's got a point OP.
Pros are:
-you get to travel all over the place and meet new folks, try new things.
-no rent just BIG initial payment, of course fuel is a thing too, still better than rent
cons:
-shit hygiene/living conditions
-will have to revert to indian lifestyle and find some designated shittig streets/beaches/shrubs
>>1059423
This sums it up, not much more to be said about it
Pros come down to:
*freedom*
*interesting experiences*
*overall low cost of living*
Cons
*Loser-ish lifestyle*
*Likely lack of cleanliness after a while*
*Lack of real 1st world comfort*
Any coin collectors here?
Also general coin vs paper thread.
I was wondering if there are any people here who collect their money in coins.
All the coin money I get goes into a special bucket. I've always been more a fan of coin money then paper money. Of course the big boys are paper but nonetheless I like having a lot of spare coin money on the side.
I got coins all from all over the worlds, Pesatos, Pesos, Dollars, Forints, Franc's Guldens, Rands, Deutsche Mark,,,, etc etc.
I've always that that if hyperinflation hits atleast...

Can someone explain to me what the point of a landing page is?
I run an online business and right now I'm focused on marketing. My whole question is, let's say, just for the sake of example, that I'm selling bananas. Why not just direct my ads to the page that sells the actual bananas?
Why would I direct the consumer to a landing page that asks for a bunch of information and THEN ask them to still go to the page that sells bananas and hope (if they're not exhausted by this point) that they buy a banana.
Personally, as a consumer if I...

Copywriter here.
First off, the point of a landing page is to present the product, the story behind it, benefits, proof, etc.
People don't know what they want. It's up to you to convince them that they want AND need your product.
Your example is not a good one. Every product on the internet has it's own special features that make it unique and different than anything else. The Landing Page focuses on those features and presents the product from a unique angle.
No one is going to buy bananas, but they sure as hell will buy "Handpicked...
