When it comes to retirement hotspots, advisers say the Volunteer State might as well be the Overlooked State. The Neighboring Carolinas tend to get all the attention, with popular enclaves like Asheville, Chapel Hill and Hilton Head. That's good news for retirees, since "popular" often means "pricey." And Tennessee, home to the Appalachian Mountains in the east and the Mississippi River in the west, is full of hidden gems, retirement experts say. The cost of living is 11% below the national average, compared to 6% below average for North Carolina and 5% less for South Carolina. The state also has no income tax (except on interest and dividends), and property taxes are reasonable, says Harish Vishria, an Ameriprise Financial adviser in Memphis. Like any state, ...

Elsa Peretti and Tiffany & Co. may be splitting up: But who will get to keep the jewelry? Renowned designer Peretti may end her licensing relationship with the luxury retailer after almost four decades, according to Women’s Wear Daily.

Carol Bartz, fired as chief executive of Yahoo Inc. last September, wishes she did one thing differently during her troubled tenure."I probably wouldn't have said the F-word,'' Ms. Bartz said at a Women in the Economy conference this month organized by The Wall Street Journal. Fellow Yahoo directors discouraged her frequent use of swear words, people familiar with the matter have said. Yet Ms. Bartz, 63 years old, used profanity to energize employees about beating competitors while successfully running Autodesk Inc. for 14 years. Staffers there "loved me,'' she told me recently. Four-letter words language "show passion and commitment.''Generally, cursing at work can damn your career. Managers who cuss appear unprofessional and out of control, executive coaches and recruiters say. But that's not always the ... Continue reading →

By Tiziana Barghini NEW YORK | Thu May 24, 2012 1:36pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bruno Martinho, a wind power engineer, moved quickly when he landed a new job in March that raised his pay by a third. Within weeks, the 34-year-old was on his way to Houston from New York, a 1,600 mile journey, to monitor the wind in Texas, a booming center for wind power.For those with skills in hot demand, the United States looks more like a land of opportunity again, especially if they are prepared to uproot and move for work.But such people are more the exception than the rule.
