Family Resource Management unlocks the complexity of family decision making for students, enabling them to grasp both the concepts and the underlying explanations of family behavior. Authors Tami James Moore and Sylvia M. Asay have provided a strong theoretical base to facilitate both understanding and retention and have organized the text to parallel the decision-making process employed by professionals. As a result, it includes sections on introducing the study of family resource management, identifying family needs, understanding resources available to families in differing socioeconomic circumstances, evaluating alternatives and making choices, and implementing and evaluating decisions.

Benefits Take Hit Amid Weak Job Market
14.07.11
The weak labor market not only means that it is difficult for many people to find jobs. It also means that those who have jobs may also receive fewer benefits.
Some family benefits have taken a hit since the recession, and have not recovered, according to the Society for (SHRM) Human Resource Management of the latest annual survey of the provision of "benefits" of 600 employers.
Only 25% of employers offer paid family leave, about unchanged from 2010 and against 33% in 2007, says the survey released late last month.Other victims include a contribution to the cost of adoption, which fell 8% against 20% in 2007 and referral services for elder care, down 9% against 22% in 2007, and programs mentoring, which fell to 17% against 26% in 2007.
