Jobs
cont’d from pg 12
based near New Orleans,
said the storms tempo-
rarily closed 66 stores
in the Houston area and
disrupted the company’s
end-of-summer hiring.
One store was so dam-
aged it still hasn’t re-
opened.
In August and Septem-
ber, the company typical-
ly hires new employees
to replace college work-
ers who return to school.
But that process was de-
layed in Florida and Tex-
as.
“We weren’t able to do
our normal hiring spree
that we usually do going
into the fall,” Harmon
said.
Interview
cont’d from pg 7
there were good and bad
Nazis?
KF: I have a tweet
pinned to my refriger-
ator regarding leader-
ship which I think can
apply to many leaders
which reads something
like, “When do we stop
looking for our leaders
to change, rather than
change leadership?”
KW: I know you were
born in New York. Do
you have any memories
of the city before your
family moved to Los An-
geles?
KF: Yes. I grew up in
Harlem, right across
from St. Nicholas Park.
The early part of my up-
coming autobiography is
devoted to my childhood
in Harlem. And its sub-
title is “From Harlem to
Hollywood.” I still have
an affi nity for Harlem
and live there now. I
moved back a decade or
so ago. Harlem informs a
great deal of who I am as
a global citizen, as an art-
ist and performer, and as
a wannabe historian.
The storms also dis-
rupted the company’s ex-
pansion plans. It opened
65 stores nationwide in
the July-September quar-
ter. It would have opened
four more, but they were
damaged while under
construction.
Each Smoothie King
employs about 15 hourly
workers and two to three
managers.
Nationwide, an alter-
native barometer of the
labor force that includes
not only the unemployed
but also part-time work-
ers who’d prefer full-
time jobs, fell to 8.3 per-
cent. That’s the lowest
such level in over a de-
cade.
Average hourly wages
rose a healthy 2.9 per-
cent from 12 months ear-
lier. That trend was prob-
KW: When you look in
the mirror, what do you
see?
KF: It depends on when
I look. Right now, I’m
camera-ready, so I look
fabulous! [laughter]
KW: The Viola Davis
question: What’s the big-
gest diff erence between
who you are at home as
opposed to the person we
see on the red carpet?
KF: Probably that I
have some version of a
Spanx on. [Laughs some
more]
KW: If you could have
one wish instantly grant-
ed, what would that be
for?
KF: Social listening
and peace.
KW: The Uduak Oduok
question: Who is your fa-
vorite clothes designer?
KF: I’m a fan of Massi-
mo. Let me be clear, the
Massimo line in Target.
[Laughs] And I’m always
at The Gap. I love their
jeans.
KW: Harriet Paku-
la-Teweles asks: With so
many classic fi lms being
redone, is there a remake
you’d like to star in?
KF: Oh my goodness!
Suddenly, Last Summer.
KW: Ling-Ju Yen asks:
What is your earliest
childhood memory?
KF: The black-and-
white checkered tiles on
the steps going up to my
grandmother’s
apart-
ment on St. Nicholas Av-
enue just before 145th
Street, heading uptown.
She was a dancer at the
Savoy. She was part of
Billy Eckstine’s night-
club act. She was also one
of Pearl Bailey’s dancers.
There’s a rich history
there.
KW: Thanks again for
the time, Kim, and I hope
we can speak again when
your
autobiography
comes out.
KF: Sounds like a plan,
Kam. Thanks!
KW: What is your fa-
vorite dish to cook?
KF: Lasagna.

Question of Faith, visit:

KW: The Tavis Smiley
question: How do you
want to be remembered?
KF: I just don’t want
to be forgotten. That’s a
start! [Laughs heartily]

ably infl ated by the loss
of so many lower-paid
workers in hurricane-hit
areas. Higher-paid work-
ers likely disproportion-
ately boosted the wage
fi gure.
Still, the government
on Friday revised wage
gains in August — before
the hurricanes hit — to a
2.7 percent annual rate,
up from 2.5 percent. That
suggests that pay could
be picking up, even ex-
cluding the storms, and
encouraging more peo-
ple to look for work.
