This summer starts with a wealthy shine. The American Economy started shining from more than a year long “Cold” days. The cold was bitter; it has made many American’s life hard. The slow down, bad debt, credit crunch, down sizing, job loss, bankruptcies hit Americans of every level, major share holders to small level consumer. But now average Joe can get his smile back! It seems, Mr. Obama’s relief measures are paying now. Lets see what Anthony says about this issue.

“Automobile & real estate are the two industrial sectors which will show how the economy is moving. Though people say Wall Street is the economy indicator, these two sectors are the indicators for the Wall Street. This is a simple logic, because these two sectors relates with important industrial sectors like steel, cement, metals, plastics, oil, energy, logistics, infrastructure, InfoTech etc., with finance, banking and insurance in every step and every division. The number of direct and indirect employment these industries generates will be of an incredible size. These people are the real reason for the economy to run. They will be in some part be a contributor who made it happen and at the same time will be consuming its benefit. At times, they may not be aware of this fact even. This is the strength of these two sectors.”

A couple of weeks before, in an interview we discussed about the auto sales rise in the US market. “This is a very good sign for the economy. When the sales of automobile and realty increases it shows that mindset or sentiment of the people changes. This change is good. This is the right time for the lenders, dealers, banks and other financial institution to fuel this mindset and create confidence in people. Auto Relief Group is there for the customers who ever needs financial advise on this issue” says Anthony Tribunella, Director of Operations at Auto Relief Group

Normally when summer is heavy drought occurs, but this summer seems to end the drought suffered by the American for a year.

“This summer will be warm”, Anthony assures with great confidence.

I am not in this video. I was merely taping while these other fans asked for photos with Cindy Williams. While at the Boise, Idaho Motorfest 2008 event, Cindy Williams was present to sign autographs representing the movie and cars of the classic 1973 movie, ‘American Graffiti’. A very gracious, kind and sweet lady, Cindy agreed to pose next to one of the show cars for the people in the video. I need to add here that I am not seen in the video, nor is my voice heard. I was a silent bystander who happened to have my camera ready at the time and who, by chance, happened to flip the dial to ‘video’ in lieu of ‘photo’.

The Show is held at the Dornbirn Expo, located just between Lake Bodensee and the Austian & Swiss Alps. This US Car show runs only every second year and grows frequently. Thousands of nice American Rides showed up at this pictues perfect sunny weekend. From Rat Rods to high quality Old Style Hot Rods & Bikes, Classic & modern Muscle Cars, C(K)ustoms , Street Rods or American Factory Hot Rods, you could find everything there ! The Hot Rods came from all over Europe.

“Long-term commitment to new learning and new philosophy is required of any management that seeks transformations. The timid and the fainthearted, and the people that expect quick results, are doomed to disappointment.” — Dr. William Edwards Deming

In a nutshell, the above statement characterizes what is wrong with the American automobile industry, and why we are losing market share to the Japanese.

It’s amazing to think that Japan, a country that was bombed almost to oblivion in the Second World War, would come back in just a few decades to be a fierce economic rival. What’s even more amazing is that it is to a great extent attributable to one man –an American statistician named William Deming.

After WWII, when Japan was trying to rebuild their shattered economy, they enlisted the help of Dr. William Deming, who had just come up with the 14 principles of quality. Deming theorized that committing to producing high quality products, instead of focusing on producing in large quantities, would actually reduce production costs. Lower production cost maximizes profitability, while high quality products help increase market share.

Sounds like a great plan, right? Well, the Japanese agreed with Deming and immediately started implementing Deming’s ideas. On the other hand, when Deming tried to sell his ideas to American manufacturers, he was dismissed as a quack. Clearly a prophet is not appreciated in his own home! Americans are obsessed with short-term goals. How soon can we recoup our investment? How soon can we make a profit? We want quick results, instant gratification.

Over the years, the Japanese built a reputation for building high quality, affordable cars. Sales were low at the beginning, but they persevered and won the public relations war on quality. American automakers made tremendous sales in the ‘50’s, ‘60’s and ‘70’s by compromising on quality, and churning out millions of cars, but they were gradually losing the quality perception war to the Japanese.

Which brings us to the present-day disaster that we are facing in the American auto industry. Not a day passes without hearing on the news or reading in the papers about yet another mass layoff at an auto manufacturing plant. The Big 3 are shutting down plants across America, crippling local economies and stretching local and state budgets to the limit from decreased tax revenues and increased unemployment benefits payouts.

While we hear about the smaller companies that are dependent on the Big 3 –parts suppliers, and service providers – we hardly hear about the impact on the Staffing Industry. The impact on the staffing industry may not be broadcast on nightly news, but it’s, nevertheless, there.

In recent years, the Staffing Industry has generally outpaced the general economy in growth, with 2007 being a record year, when over 3 million placements. However, with the recession, decline in U.S. manufacturing and the poor fortunes of the Big 3, the Staffing Industry is leveling off.

With the Big 3 being forced to tighten their belts and restructure to survive, so will the Staffing Industry be forced to adapt. Jobs in manufacturing are disappearing, so we need to re-evaluate business strategy and re-focus our niche markets. We also need to look on the positive side. For instance, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the Staffing industry will become the second-largest job-growth American industry.

There are still opportunities for growth for the Staffing industry. The laid off workers still need to find alternative employment, and the economy is starting to show signs that the recession has bottomed out. Economic recovery should begin towards the end of this year, and with it increased job postings by employers. The American Staffing Association reminds us why the Staffing Industry is resilient:

One cannot over-estimate the importance of the Staffing Industry to the American economy. Job recruiters are the bridge between job seekers and employers. They seek out talented job candidates for employers, while linking job candidates to job opportunities. In a way, the Staffing industry is the oil that keeps the gears of the economy moving efficiently.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It only took 50-plus years, but Dr. William Deming’s voice is finally being heard in America. If we can make it through this dark period in America’s auto industry – and we will –there is a brighter future for America. What’s good for the auto industry is good for the Staffing industry.

Enjoy this fun trek that was filmed on Saturday May 17, 2008 during the Petaluma Celebrates 35 years of American Graffiti event. Follow the camera as it travels on a journey through the streets of downtown Petaluma where much of the 1973 classic American Graffiti was filmed. The journey starts out on the corner of Washington & heads West on Petaluma Bl. North past all the classic cars. Then hangs a right on Western Ave. past the stars signing autographs and looks at a few star cars. The camera continues on Western up to the corner at Kentucky St. where people dance to a ’50′s style band. Then the camera pops back over to Petaluma Bl. North on the vacant lot dressed up as “Jerry’s Cherries” Used Car Lot where we see a ’61 Ford Galaxie cop car with it’s rear axle sitting a few feet behind it. Then it’s back over to Kentucky street for a look at a few famous locals and some more cool cars. The Ford pick-up and ’51 Mercury were filmed at Petaluma Plaza shopping center on North McDowell Boulevard a day earlier. The emphasis of this video is to highlight these few streets which should be instantly recognizable to fans of the film.

In this new six-minute film posted, you will see over 60 classic cars including; Chevrolets, Dodges, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Fords, and Cadillacs. The film concludes with a video of a typical Havana street scene. More information can be found at VanderbiltCupRaces.com
