Delotte: Reshaping the code - understanding the new tax reform law
Congress has approved and President Trump has signed into law a massive tax reform package that lowers tax rates on corporations, pass-through entities, individuals, and estates and moves the United States toward a participation exemption-style system for taxing the foreign-source income of domestic multinational corporations, with some of the cost of that tax relief offset by provisions that scale back or eliminate many longstanding deductions, credits, and incentives for businesses and individuals.

Facilities Managers - Employer Needs Assessment
To analyze the regional need for facilities managers, the Centers of Excellence conducted a survey of over 100 employers in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.
The study collected information from employers regarding current and projected employment, hiring needs, education and credentialing preferences, and most in-demand skills and technological proficiencies.
Nearly 24,000 facilities managers are currently employed in the four-county region. The far majority, about 22,100, are full-time. Only 1,800 are part-time.
Regionally, employment growth over the next year will be robust for facilities managers. Employers expect to hire an additional 3,200 facilities managers over the next 12 months, a 14% growth rate.
Those surveyed said the most preferred option for filling facilities manager vacancies is training workers from within the organization, followed by online job advertisements.
