"Desk Rage" on the Rise
A new survey of more than 600 workers in England has found a new workplace phenomenon: "desk rage." Twenty-eight percent of respondents said they had had a shouting fight with a colleague. And men were more likely to scream at their colleagues -- 16% said they'd done so, compared with 9% of women. But women broke down and cried more often due to stress on the job.

Labor Department Predicts Changes in Workforce
The Labor Department's latest report on workplace trends says that in the decades ahead, pressure to correct unequal employment opportunities and pay for minority Americans will increase as the U.S. population grows and changes. According to the report, the U.S. population is expected to rise 50% by 2050, with immigration accounting for almost two thirds of that growth. About half of all Americans will belong to what are now considered minority groups.

Young Workers Feel Left Out
In a poll conducted by the AFL-CIO, 90% of workers ages 18 to 34 said that large corporations, top management and stockholders are doing well, but 42% labeled their own economic situation either "just fair," "not so good" or "poor." Just four of 10 young workers said they're covered by their employer's health plan or a retirement plan their company contributes to, compared with about six of 10 older workers.
