The anonymous social network Blind surveyed nearly 7,000 tech workers
about their job security and found a 33% increase in concern between
March and April.Facebook employees were the least concerned about their
jobs; Expedia employees were the most worried.Blind also surveyed tech
workers on whether or not they were worried about pay cuts. There was a
22% jump in concerned employees from one month to the next. Amazon
workers were the least worried about their pay; Lyft workers were the
most concerned.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.To get

Nearly three-quarters of employees at tech companies are concerned about their job security, according to a new survey from anonymous social media app Blind, conducted exclusively for Business Insider. That's a 33% jump from results of the same survey a month ago. Blind asked its users “Are you concerned your job security will be negatively affected by the economic trends stemming from the Coronavirus？” and 72% percent of the 6,950 tech workers that answered between April 11 and 15 said “Yes.” In an identical survey conducted between March 9 and 11, only 54% of 7,155 respondents answered yes. The numbers of employees that answered the survey varied greatly from company to company, from 560 employees at Amazon to 48 at Adobe. But a breakdown of Blind's data by employer still allows for a timely reflection of how workers at individual companies feel at a time of uncertainty and trepidation.For example, Facebook employees were the least concerned about their jobs, according to the data, with just half saying they were worried. Expedia employees were the most worried, with 95% expressing concern (perhaps unsurprising, given that Expedia laid off 12% of its workforce in late February). Employees from travel and gig-economy companies were some of the most concerned, generally.
Tech industry analyst Charles King of Pund-IT Weekly Review says that the increased concern reflects “the massive, rapid evolution of COVID-19-influenced events.”
The findings also illustrate that job fears are not “falling equally on everyone,” King says. “That's due to the fact that the crises hammering some businesses and industries have also created opportunities for other tech companies,” he says, “Including cloud computing, online gaming, and entertainment and vendors that provide work from home solutions and services.” Another noteworthy tidbit from the survey is the month-over-month increase in concern from workers at large companies. In March, less than half of the workers at Amazon, Google, LinkedIn, and Salesforce were concerned about their jobs. At Apple, only 39% of workers were worried about their jobs in March.Any semblance of serenity melted away in April though. No company surveyed this month had less than 60% of its employees say they were concerned about job security. The survey comes as record-setting unemployment claims are being reported nationwide. The Labor Department reported on Thursday that 5.2 million Americans filed for unemployment insurance in the week that ended April 11, bringing the four-week total to roughly 22.03 million, a record for a period of that length.
Daniel Alpert, a creator of the US Private Sector Job Quality Index, told Business Insider that the new wave of national layoffs are moving beyond frontline workers immediately cut from jobs at businesses deemed nonessential to “avoidable layoffs or furloughs in white-collar service sectors administrative, professional, technical, management and sales positions.”Businesses across every industry are cutting jobsor putting employees on furlough. The results of Blind's job security query were roughly mirrored in a companion question: “Are you concerned your total income is going to be negatively affected by the economic trends stemming from the Coronavirus？”Seventy-six percent of respondents answered “yes” this month, while 62% answered “yes” in March, which is about a 23% increase in concern.Amazon workers were the least worried about their pay, with 65% expressing concern; 94% of Lyft workers said they are concerned, at the other end of the spectrum.
Blind's spokesperson Fiorella Riccobono said chatter on the app has shifted from discussion of negotiating techniques to win better pay to conversations about finding a job.
“In the coronavirus era, working professionals are stepping up and helping those who have been laid off or furloughed,” she said, “By sharing an increase of job posting links, insights to companies or teams early in their recruiter phase, or offering referrals.”

In my 15 years of trading the forex markets I have seen many traders
enter and then leave the forex marketplace due to being unable to
sustain long term profits. Many traders become profitable, but once they
become profitable, they get overconfident and careless and often lose
their entire account. Statistically, about 90% of forex traders will
lose their whole account.To get more news about KOL Analysis, you can visit WikiFX news official website.
In this article I want to highlight my two key pillars, which will ensure long term success. If a trader makes these points as the 2 most important aspects of their trading, losing an account will be an event of the past.
Risk Management
Overcoming greed
When I started trading 15 years ago, my mentor pushed this point into my head, over and above everything else, even before we started trading, risk management was discussed in great detail. This concept has stayed with me since then.
Firstly, it is important to understand that the market is unpredictable, but the one thing we can control and predict, is how much do we lose if the market goes against us and I guarantee there will be many times this will happen.
A trader needs to learn how to lose and when you do lose, that the loss is minimal.
This is a very difficult concept to accept as normal life does not teach us to lose. The only other profession where losing is part of the job, is playing sport, every sports competitor will lose in competition many times.
Many traders cannot accept losses, therefore fighting the market and letting loss trades run, become an obsession with some traders, at the expense of their account. I have witnessed traders increase their account over a sustained period of time, only to lose their entire account with one bad trade, simply because they were obsessed with winning all the time.
How do you manage risk in a professional manner？
Firstly set an amount you are willing to lose per trade, 1% to 2% per trade is very common and follow this rule 100% of the time.
Always use a stop loss. A stop loss is a predetermined level that the trade will close if the market goes against the trade.
Set your stop loss at a pre determined pivot point. The stop loss cannot be random, it needs to be at a pivot point, whereas if the market goes beyond that point, it is clearly changing direction, which means ‘get out of that trade and consider trading the other direction.’
How is stop loss calculated？
This article was not meant to be an in depth look at trading, but in answering this question quickly and easily, there is phone applications and desktop software that will make the calculations automatically.
Let the profits run
Overcoming fear
This concept sounds very simple but it is one of the most difficult techniques to master. To be able to maximise your profit, otherwise known in trading terms as risk/reward. During this phase of trading the fear aspect of your emotion will take control, fear of losing, I am in profit but will the market reverse and take my profit away. If fear controls the trade, the trader will often close the trade at a small gain, rather than risking a loss.
The most effective method to counteract fear is to understand candlestick formations and which formation will result in a trade reversal. A good trader will check the close of every candlestick and if there is no indication of a reversal, to have the discipline to allow the profit time to continue.
If a trader allows his profits to be large and the losses to be small, the need to be right all time will become irrelevant, as the winning trades value will by far outnumber the losing trades value.
Conclusion
Forex trading is a discipline and needs to be treated that way, it is not gambling. With trading you are always battling with the raw emotions of fear and greed. Scammers always prey on those emotion. Master these two techniques and you will become a Forex master.

An investor complained to WikiFX that he was a newbie while he trade
with IQ Option. He was attracted by a sponsored advertisement of IQ
Option on Instagram. The investor was asked to download an App to submit
his bank details in it. On April 4th, 2020, the investor deposited
250USD to his trading account and want to exchange to NZD. After one
day, he got two emails from GT BANK, the local bank, and both emails
mentioned the investors credit card was deducted 250USD. The investor
felt confused about why the deduction was made twice.To get more news

With a $70 million jackpot up for grabs in this Tuesday's Lotto Max
draw, some lottery players are finding it hard to buy tickets.Get more
news about 彩票包网服务,you can vist loto98.com
"The majority of retailers are still open but we are seeing that several stores and some chains are deciding to suspend lottery for the moment," said Kevin van Egdom, communications director with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.
However some of the retailers that will sell tickets won't redeem winning ones from customers.
"We do certainly want them to redeem winning tickets for people but I understand right now there is a reluctance by some retailers to be handling cash, handling other people’s tickets," said van Egdom.
So how do people redeem their winnings? The WCLC says you're best to hang onto a ticket until the pandemic is over or you find a retailer that will pay it out.
Winning tickets of $1,000.00 or more can be mailed to the corporation. And for big winners, like the four Albertans who each won a million dollars in Friday's Max Millions draw, they're urged to contact WCLC by phone.
"We’ll certainly talk to the winner and figure out what works for everyone, staying safe and seeing where we get to with these prize claims," van Egdom said.
The WCLC is also expected to announce a plan this week about how it will handle tickets that have expired since March 17, 2020 or are set to expire.
"We don’t want anyone to miss out on a prize because of what’s going on right now," said van Egdom.
Since people have been asked to self-isolate, the WCLC says retail lotto sales have dropped. But there has been an increase in people buying what’s called 'Advance Play.' It's one ticket that is good for 25 consecutive draws.
There’s also been a spike in the number of online lottery subscriptions.
"We check it for you, you don’t have to worry about it. We take care of all the prizes for you as well so that absolutely does get rid of that back and forth to the store during this time," van Egdom said.
Once winnings reach $50.00, the WCLC will either mail a cheque or deposit it into your bank account.
Because the lotteries are a fundraiser for provinces across the country, the WCLC hopes draws will continue through the pandemic.
"Right now the lottery is still available. I don’t know what’s going to happen and I hope we’re able to keep going and I hope things get easier for everyone soon."

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is under pressure to halt in-store sales of
lottery tickets over concerns that lines for them could spread the
coronavirus.Get more news about 彩票包网,you can vist loto98.com
State Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham, and the Chaldean Chamber of Commerce, which represents many store owners, are calling on the Michigan Lottery to halt the sales because it’s difficult for owners to enforce social distancing guidelines.
“That is something we’re taking a very serious look at,” Whitmer said during a televised town hall forum on Thursday.
“It is important though that every single business owner who is selling food or essential needs is taking the appropriate steps to ensure that the people who are coming into their stores are standing 6 feet apart.”The possibility comes as coronavirus cases in Michigan have nearly tripled in seven days to 12,744, and officials are increasingly frustrated that not enough people are doing their part to slow the spread of the outbreak.
Manoogian told Bridge store owners have told her about “folks … leaving their homes not to purchase essential goods but specifically go out and purchase lottery tickets.”
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the state Lottery Bureau sent notices to the state’s 10,500 retailers with lottery terminals saying they “must immediately cease lottery sales… if you are unable to implement social-distancing measures and follow all requirements of the Stay Home, Stay Safe order.”
Since March 16 — when Whitmer issued the executive order to temporarily close theaters, bars, casinos and dine-in restaurants — 182 retailers have requested the state deactivate their lottery terminals, said Michigan Lottery spokesperson Jeff Holyfield.
More than 60 percent of those requests came on Thursday and Friday, while 30 retailers will be deactivating their terminals on Monday.
“People should not leave their homes just to buy lottery tickets,” Holyfield said. If businesses allow customers to violate social distancing rules, they may lose their right to sell tickets and face other disciplinary measures, he added.
State Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham, and the Chaldean Chamber of Commerce, which represents many store owners, are calling on the Michigan Lottery to halt the sales because it’s difficult for owners to enforce social distancing guidelines.

The continuously spreading coronavirus pandemic has put the economies
of developed countries around the world to a standstill and slashed
social consumption and demand, leading to oil prices which failed to
recover after falling to the bottom, and US stocks that hovers in bear
market. Against this context, observers warn that deflation, the worst
economic nightmare, may be lurking around, And Japan may be the first
country to feel the shock.To get more news about wikifx, you can visit wikifx news official website.
Calculations based on factors such as oil prices, scheduled electricity
prices and current exchange rate level suggest that as both gasoline
prices and electricity prices drop, Japan ’s inflation level will
continue to be suppressed in the coming months. Moreover, if oil prices
continue to fall, Japan ’s inflation rate may fall below zero as early
as in April. According to Bloomberg's forecast, the factor of falling
oil prices alone can make the main inflation indicators fall by 0.1% in
April and 0.2% in May. Since energy accounts for only 8% of the
CPI(consumer price index) Basket of Goods, price changes of remaining
products can still keep the inflation rate above zero. As Japan enters a
state of emergency (from April 7 to May 6), utility companies will take
falling oil prices into account in their pricing plans, and general
consumer prices will further decline in the next few months.
BNP Paribas, Barclays and Credit Suisse all forecast that Japan ’s inflation will be negative for most of the time this year and in the next two years. Judging from the current situation, Japan's economy faces high deflation risks. Due to the bleak economy, earnings of companies are breaking through the profitable bottom line, which will make businesses more cautious about investment, consumption and recruitment activities for a period of time.if you want know more,Download wikifx

Renaissance Technology, an IT-driven hedge fund founded by Jim Simons, recorded one of the worst quarterly performances.

Now people are driving to Mississippi to buy tickets, said Mohamad Amro, who owns the Tenn Tom Express in Brooksville near the border with one of the remaining states that does not have a lottery — Alabama.
“We are getting a lot of customers from Alabama,” he said, speaking about the customers he’s seen since the gas station and store started selling the tickets around 9 a.m. And customers are already making financial plans, he said: “They are saying what they are going to do with their money after they win.”
The tickets are available in roughly 1,200 convenience stores and other sites across the state.Democratic state Rep. Alyce Clarke of Jackson has been pushing for years to bring a lottery to Mississippi. She bought a ceremonial first ticket at a RaceWay store and gas station in south Jackson.
“It feels great. Finally, it becomes a reality. And it just goes to show you what happens if you don’t give up,” Clarke said. “Sometimes you have to try and try and try again.”The state had resisted a lottery for years until lawmakers in 2018 authorized a lottery as a way to finance road maintenance and infrastructure needs. At the time, the state had been forced to close hundreds of unsafe bridges.
For the first ten years, the first $80 million a year from lottery revenue will go to infrastructure needs. After the $80 million benchmark is hit, the rest goes to education. After the ten-year period is over, the first $80 million will go to the state’s general fund with the remainder continuing to go toward education.
Clarke had been pushing for all the money to go to education. She said she was disappointed with the way the money was apportioned but that the roads and bridges also needed investment.
Right now, people can play four different types of games, and the Mississippi Lottery Corporation plans to introduce new games in the coming weeks. On January 30, tickets for both Mega Millions and Powerball will go on sale. Winners can remain anonymous.
At the Stop & Go Foodmart in Picayune, owner Hiren Bhakta said people have been talking about the sales for weeks. In this corner of southwestern Mississippi, residents wanting to buy lottery tickets can easily pop across the border to towns in Louisiana like Pearl River and buy tickets there. Bhakta hopes that traffic will now stay in Mississippi.
“People have been going to the state lines to get tickets, so they’ve heard about it and are excited about how we don’t have to go to the state line anymore,” he said. “We can get everything here in Mississippi.”
In Brooksville, Amro said if he had the choice he wouldn’t sell the tickets because he’s not sure it’s worth the expense; he had to hire an extra employee specifically to sell the tickets. But since other stores are selling the tickets he needed to remain competitive. But if someone is going to win big, he hopes they buy the ticket at Tenn Tom Express.
