Make Online Ads Work Harder
A new study reveals there has been a 40% decline in people paying attention to ads on major portal sites compared with last year. but that doesn't mean that surfers are ignoring online ads altogether.

This is the name for the new, government-backed, national pension plan, which will serve as a top-up for the current state system. it will effect all employees and employers, but the greatest impact is expected to be in the retail sector, in which company pension schemes have traditionally had a low take-up among staff. the new system will effectively force many workers to save for their pensions for the first time - and force their employers to contribute as well.
