The first major observation that the regression reveals is that the variables such as Median Household Income, Median Housing Prices, and the population of the specific state had no impact on the regression model. The coefficients in those three variables are .00 with no significance value. The conventional wisdom of the punditry was that rich individuals were going to support Hillary Clinton while poor individuals would support Donald Trump. The regression analysis however does not show that to be true. The median housing prices shows that the cost of living does not have an impact on individuals vote choice in the 2016 Presidential election. The variables of the percent of the state that has a college education or higher and Percent of
Even with the fact stated earlier that about how many college graduates work in fields that don’t require a degree, more and more jobs are requiring a college degree even to the associates degree level. Though they can argue how the number of jobs requiring a college degree fell by 1.75 million, the number of jobs that require a high school diploma fell 5.56 million. Thus proving that having a college degree could provide more job security compared to their counterparts who don’t. Along with that is how many

This potential shortage of qualified workers has come to a level of conscious awareness and states such as Texas could benefit from the skill sets found within this diverse group of people (Hrabowski, 2012). Another problem centers on the need to fill the void that will be left by the large number of baby boomers who are close to retirement age (Malcolm, 2010). This phenomenon is not new, studies have established a correlation between earning a college degree and different socio-economic levels (Swaii, Redd, & Perna, 2003). Another study looked at the advantages of earning a post- secondary degree such as more pay, higher level of job satisfaction, movement between classes, access to better health insurance, and contributions as a tax payer (Baum, Ma, Payea, 2013).

Receiving a higher level of education allows individuals to gain a certain level of knowledge, values, and skills that they can bring to their everyday life, therefore lacking this education will put them at a disadvantage when looking for a job. 37.9% of Texans have a higher education degree between the ages of 25 and 34, ranking Texas the 39th state when it comes to higher education attainment. 89.0% of individuals have a high school diploma making Texas the 4th state in terms of high school graduation. Comparing higher education and high school graduates shows higher education is lower than high school graduates, therefore, it is likely for individuals to fall under the poverty line. High school education provides basic skills while in a higher education environment you enhance the skills and knowledge to secure a job. Individuals sometimes do not attend a university due to their high tuition rates, thus are not able to obtain a bachelor’s degree. A solution to decreasing poverty is to lower tuition rates so individuals can get a degree and therefore obtain a secure
in the Washington Post article,“Va. poll is a table of two states”, the writers Laura Vozzella and Emily Guskin discusses the political divide between Democrats and Republicans within the state of Virginia. This problematic divide can be seen in the specific churches, schools, neighborhoods, etc., that attract and repel specific party members. The article goes on to explain that these divisions result from cultural and lifestyle choices by each voter. For example, like minded Democrats desire homes that are a walkable distance from stores in contrast to spread out communities desired by Republicans. As a result, more and more Americans are living in political enclaves. However, many voters in the upcoming presidential election are not particularly

The education in the United States today has main focuses, such as educational attainment, which is how far a student can get in school depending on family income and race/ethnicity. Family’s race and income can affect the possibility of someone’s attendance in college. The rate for dropouts in schools is highest for Latinos and Native Americans and lowest for Whites and Asians. As for income, families with high income are more likely to attend college than families with low income. Gender also effects educational attainment. There is a gender difference today that females are more likely than males to graduate high school, and finish college and obtaining a degree. The UnitedStates is considered a credential society, which indicates if a person has the knowledge, degree or skill
I want a president with a record of public service. Someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves; we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters.
