Labor Day 2016: Honoring the Great American Mobile Workers!

Do you know the history of Labor Day in the United States?

We all know about Labor Day. After all, who wouldn’t want to be informed about an extra day off work? Just because we know that the day is a rest from our labor doesn’t mean we know the true history behind Labor Day. Here’s a quick overview of why we celebrate Labor Day. 

Labor Day got its start in the late 1800's, when union leaders in New York City decided that they wanted to host a massive festival for workers across the city. Because Labor Day was not yet a national holiday, in order to attend those laborers would have to give up a day’s wages. Early in the first Labor Day celebration—which was held on September 5th, 1882—few people turned out. Over the course of the day, more and more people joined the festivities and by the day’s end the rally boasted 10,000 people!

News of this celebration of hard-working Americans and all our labor force has contributed to the nation spread, and in 1887 Oregon became the first state to declare Labor Day an official holiday. It took just under a decade for the festivities to gain traction across the country, and in 1896 President Grover Cleveland declared the first Monday in September as an official national holiday to celebrate American laborers.

This year on Labor Day, Group Mobile is honoring mobile workers! The world’s mobile worker population will reach 1.3 billion in 2016, representing 37.2% of the total workforce. Mobile workers, virtual workers, freelancers, independent contractors, and other terms have been used to describe those of us who more or less works anytime, anywhere. And this type of work is becoming a new norm around the world, so the growth of mobile workers is likely to continue. Such workers often work from multiple locations, and use at least three devices. Mobile workers carry their work in their pockets or carrying case, powered by a multitude of applications. Group Mobile would like to invite mobile workers to visit out new website, here you will find a large selection of hardware perfectly suited for mobile industries!

Group Mobile Offers Lease Financing! Get Approved Today!

Save cash and credit when you get the rugged computing equipment you need, at a price you can afford!

At Group Mobile we offer quick approved leasing! The most obvious benefit of lease financing is conserving cash. Cash is king, and leasing allows you to hold onto more of yours to take advantage of opportunities and navigate changing business conditions.  Another primary advantage of leasing is that it allows you to acquire assets with minimal initial expenditures. You can obtain and make use of the equipment you need without significantly affecting your cash flow, this frees up cash for operations or other investments such as advertising or personnel needed to make your business grow. Leases can be utilized to cover everything that you require to make your equipment work for you. This includes software, installation costs, related leasehold improvements, training and even some supply items. This further minimizes your initial costs and allows you to earn profits from your equipment much faster. 

Lease payments are 100% tax deductible, this effectively reduces the net cost of the lease and should be considered! Article 179: Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code allows a business to deduct the full purchase price for qualifying equipment purchased or financed during the tax year. Companies that do not qualify or choose to employ the Article 179 Alternative, lease payments are written off as they are made. This eliminates the need for depreciation schedules and allows faster write off which results in increased cash flow for your customers.  

Group Mobile is now offering fixed-term lease financing of rugged computer products ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. This service allows our customers to get the rugged computing equipment they need at a price they can afford!  

Customers interested in the financing program begin the process by filling out a short credit application on Group Mobile's website that provides an instant credit decision. Upon approval of the application, a Lease Consultant will work with customers to finalize the details of the transaction. At that point, documents will be prepared and sent to customers via e-mail.

Fixed leasing terms range from 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. This means that unlike traditional financing, there is no need to pay more each month to reduce interest. Leasing does not accrue incremental interest, so monthly payments never change. Visit http://www.groupmobile.com/lease-financing.asp to learn more about the benefits of leasing and to apply for financing.
