I did not do Non-veterans and Veterans of Other services because they are probably also included in the regular stats.

It's because they adjusted the numbers... - SK1

Why Did The Unemployment Rate Drop?Dec 02, 2011
I think the most encouraging part of this report is in the last paragraph. The U.S. added 120,000 jobs in November, but the unemployment rate posted a huge drop to 8.6% from 9% and a broader unemployment rate fell even more to 15.6% from 16.2%. Why? The number of jobs added comes from a survey of establishment payrolls. The unemployment rate comes from a separate survey of U.S. households. The household survey is much smaller than the establishment survey, and as a result it can swing around a ...

How Far Can Wages Drop Here? Don't They Need Us To Be Consumers Too?Oct 15, 2012
Henry Ford, for all his faults, was famous for his foresight in raising plant worker salaries well above the norm so they could afford to buy the cars, thus creating a market for his product. What's changed?  Short version, as the planet has continued to develop and markets have been created in hundreds of countries, business can make the products cheaper overseas and sell there too. Plus, inevitably, the identification and loyalty of "American" businesses to America is disappearing a ...

My 18yo Son Wants To Drop Out Of High School And Get His GED.Mar 10, 2011
I understand why he wants to drop out.  He and his girlfriend of nearly three years broke over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  Basically, he found out that she had slept with two of his supposed good friends and also tried to get with a third.  I'm not sure why she did this as my son treated her like gold.  He followed her around like a little puppy.  Did everything she told him to do.  He all but stopped attending family functions because she wa ...

Immigrants Responsible For Drop In Crime?May 26, 2010For the third year in a row, the rate of violent crime in the United States has declined. While criminologists study the drop and look for explanations, Harvard sociologist Robert Sampson has introduced one theory -- he says the influx of new immigrants, who tend to engage in fewer violent crimes, has made America safer. Guest host Tony Cox talks with Sampson about his theory and why immigrant communities are relatively less violent. Transc ...

Okay, every now and then, I request an Email that someone has responded to a post I initiated. Lately (twice in the last week or so), I have received an e-mail that someone has responded, but when I go directly to the forum, the response is not there. I CAN click on it from the Email and read the response, but it's not on the forum. I thought maybe the Email was preceding the response, but I've gone back several times, and it's not on the forum--from my view, anyway. I wond ...

So...are You Weird Or Normal?Sep 14, 2011
I have a good friend who told me that I have a weird life. I started thinking about it and I realized that my life has been weird since before I was born! Let's see: I'm not only an identical twin, but a mirror twin as well (only 25% of identical twins are mirror twins)--odds of that happening: about 1 in 1000 births I'm left handed--about 10% of the population are left handed. I'm a color blind woman--normally only about .4% of women are color blind , but my color ...

Maternal Mortality Rates Higher In Red StatesJan 17, 2015
Today, more U.S. women die in childbirth and from pregnancy-related causes than at almost any point in the last 25 years. The United States is the one of only seven countries in the entire world that has experienced an increase in maternal mortality over the past decade (we join the likes of Afghanistan and South Sudan), and mothers in Iran, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Serbia and Greece (among many other countries) have a better chance of surviving pregnancy than do women in the United Sta ...

More Americans might be accepting of President Barack Obama's zealous push to flood the country with refugees from war-torn parts of the world, if only he, along with federal and state officials, were more transparent about the entire process. Like for instance being up front with Americans about the health threat posed by many of these refugees. Breitbart News is reporting that officials at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, county health departments throughout the ...

Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing ANY politician does or says is not part of a grand scheme.  It just really angers me that they pretend to even start to know how it is to live paycheck to paycheck and want us to feel sorry ...

She stated “…Women who lead disciplined lives would move heaven and earth to manage their fertility…To them, this exclusion in coverage is merely insulting…&rdquo ...
