Egg Harbor Twp, NJ, USA – WEBWIRE – Wednesday, February 23, 2022
So sincerely, they even found a way to give Clickin a vacation.
In this day and age, where barely a word gets by without scrutiny. Oh did I say bare? Yes, I did, meaning that every word is scrutinized for one slant or another. And whoa, here comes Clickin, says author Phila Vocia.
Clickin, without a race, creed, color, religion nor gender is present and we all do it. We all do Clickin. Doing as in an activity of typing to convey our thoughts, feelings, emotions and in some cases, highly technical advances.
In the books pages, we get to laugh with Clickin. Laugh at how such a small activity can move so much information, mountains of information and is accepted by all of us at the same time and in each day, month and year.
And cry that even with this cohesive activity, we still stumble through our differences. We are occupied with slicing and dicing our way through the global the economic pie. Rejoice, then sigh, theres hope. Clickin enables the ability in all of us to click to survive
Keep em Clickin reminds us to move forward forever and to thrive, strive and not die. Enjoy the ride, keep on clickin.
Keep em Clickin, The Story of Clickin as an ebook $2.99 and Paperback $10.00 are available online:

The construction industry — led by homebuilding — is a large, often-overlooked source of jobs in emerging market economies, according to a report (https://www.habitat.org/sites/default/files/documents/A-Ladder-Up_Report.pdf) released today by Habitat for Humanity to mark World Habitat Day. Every $1 million in construction output creates an average of 97 jobs in emerging markets, economists at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Southern California, and the University of Washington found in the report commissioned by Habitat for Humanity’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter. That compares to 81 jobs created per $1 million in agricultural output and 96 jobs per $1 million in output in the accommodation and food services sector, according to the report, which focuses on 9 countries: Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, and Uganda. Graphics below.
“Investment in residential construction represents a potential win-win-win in emerging markets because it creates such a large number of jobs locally, helps close stubborn gaps in affordable housing and stimulates the larger economy,” said Patrick Kelley, vice president of Habitat’s Terwilliger Center. “These findings are critically important for low- and middle-income countries deciding what areas to prioritize as they work to build back economies weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in a world where 1.6 billion people still lack adequate shelter.”
The report, titled “A Ladder Up: The construction sector’s role in creating jobs and rebuilding emerging market economies,” (https://www.habitat.org/sites/default/files/documents/A-Ladder-Up_Report.pdf) also provides evidence that many of those jobs go to workers with lower levels of formal education. These are relatively well-paying jobs compared to other employment options for workers with limited educational attainment, the researchers found.
Construction workers in emerging markets often work outside of formal, regulated channels, according to the report, with informal employment representing 50% of construction workers in South Africa to more than 90% of those workers in countries such as India, Indonesia and Uganda. Residential construction dominates the sector, the report found. In Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, for example, residential construction accounts for more than 80% of total building construction.
The researchers also concluded that measures to improve the working conditions and on-the-job training of construction workers can help urban areas — including those hit hard by the pandemic — develop in a more sustainable, equitable way.
