The young men of Casale work to bring water to a mango center. On today's Planet Money, we revisit two stories from Haiti. Both turned out better than we expected. First, we hear from Yvrose Jean Baptiste, the Haitian businesswoman left destitute by the earthquake. When we first met her in February, all she had to her name was a tub of chicken necks she was selling for a few pennies each. Now, she has money in the bank and her own stall in a bustling market. For more on Yvrose, read our post from this morning. Then: mangoes. Earlier this year on This American Life, we told the story of how hard it was to build a little place where farmers could wash and store their mangoes. We thought it would never happen. But — right after that story aired — construction began. A local leader even convinced the young men in the village to dig up 27 miles of unused pipe, and move it so that it can supply water to the center. Check out the rest of our Haiti coverage.

Source: Dealbreaker | 2 Jul 2010 | 9:48 am Why Russia May Free Thousands Of Accountantsby Ashley Lau In an effort to attract more overseas investors, Russian lawmakers are planning to amend the country's law on economic crimes. That could result in the release of 100,000 businessmen, Bloomberg News reports. About one fourth of the 900,000 people in Russian jails are accountants, entrepreneurs, legal advisers or mid-level managers, the deputy head of one of Russia's lawmaking committees told Bloomberg. Foreign investors have been wary of Russia's legal system. And in the past few years, the country has received much less foreign investment than the other BRIC countries (Brazil, India, and China). "The current environment is like swimming with crocodiles in a pool of sulfuric acid," the co-owner of a Moscow chemical distributor, who spent seven months in jail, told Bloomberg. "There’s a war on business people in Russia, and it's purely business for officials. They can charge you with any crime and incarcerate you to extort money."

From best man to boxing trainer, Victorian-era model to critter urine cleaner, this week’s jobs are a showcase of the strange: 1. MA: Wanted URGENTLY: Best Man for wedding Ok, so I’m backing out on my cousin last minute, and I before I do it, I need someone lined up to take my place, because I’m not sure that he’ll be able to find someone at such short notice. Pay is $200+ (negotiable), plus a night in the hotel in question (I’ll sacrafice my room there for the right candidate). You MUST have comprehensive experience in this position, have a TUX (because the one I have might not fit you), and have transport to and from the locations (to be divulged to selected candidate, but it’s in Holyoke). Email me with a few pictures (preferably in a tux at a wedding, in the Best Man role) and brief history of experience in this position, and a telephone number where I can contact you. This will be a one time contract job. You will be required to be available during the entire day, from 9am until 12am (perhaps even until 2am). You will be required to make a speech and fulfill other customary duties normally executed by the best man at weddings. If you happen to find a beautiful woman to dance the night away with, that’s fine, so long as the aforementioned duties are fulfilled in their entirety and in a satisfactory manner. Due to the sensitivity of this position, and the short time available, please only apply if you are sincere, clinically sane & stable and experienced. * Compensation: I’d like to get this done for $200, but it’s negotiable. Professional impersonators, con artists, and wedding crashers, listen up! This job’s perfect for you.
I am looking to create a series of Victorian Era “Peep Show” images. The finished images will be some of the most unique in your portfolio!

OR: crawl space cleanup I have critters living under my house. I am trapping them (hopefully) and then I am going to need some under the house restoration.

CA: Need someone to stand in line for iPhone Come on Jason Bateman, we already know you got your iPhone by cutting to the front of the line. I am looking for someone to train me how to box. I need to work out and i am choosing boxing as my workout. I need someone who has all equipment and is available about 3-4 day out of the week. I will pay but i am looking to get a cheap price. Please -email me your information and an estimation of the price you will charge. Thank you. I prefer it to be a female. I would just be more conferrable around a female, and it can be at my place(its not that big, but your decision) with your equipment or your place whatever works out for you. Translation: I’ll give you $5/hour to teach me to box in my 300 square foot studio apartment. You set up your equipment and make sure none if it breaks any windows or topples my mini-fridge. We will probably sweat on each other. But hey, at least I’m polite. Happy Friday!

Alyson Hurt/NPR
The unemployment rate fell a bit in June. The government's big monthly jobs report is out this morning. It paints a picture of a weak labor market that's creeping sideways — not getting much worse, but not getting better either. The report's two headline numbers are both a bit misleading on the surface. One's not as bad as it sounds. The other's worse than it sounds. 1. The total number of jobs fell by 125,000 in June. Why that's not as bad as it sounds: The loss of jobs was driven largely by the Census Bureau, which cut 225,000 temp jobs during June. The private sector — the key engine of long-term job growth — added 83,000 jobs during June. 2. The unemployment rate fell to 9.5 percent, the lowest level in almost a year. Why that's worse than it sounds: The unemployment rate includes only people who are looking for work and can't find it. The rate fell in June not because more people had jobs, but simply because fewer people were looking for work. Also in this morning's jobs report: The unemployment gender gap widened: The unemployment rate for women fell to 7.8 percent. The unemployment rate for men rose slightly to 9.9 percent. Among the unemployed, nearly half have been unemployed for more than six months. The private sector has added 593,000 jobs so far this year. But there are still 7.9 million fewer private-sector jobs than there were in December 2007.
