Kay Hagan Strengths And Weaknesses

In today’s society, a college degree has become a requirement in order to obtain a well occupied profession. Prior to the recession, which the study defines as the period between December 2007 and June 2009, bachelor's graduates were already more likely to be employed than were associate degree holders, who were more likely to be employed than those without any postsecondary degree. After the recession, employment of college graduates dropped 7 percent, while associate degree holders experienced an 11 percent drop, and employment of high school graduates fell 16 percent. The percent of people excluded from the workforce, meaning they were seeking work but couldn’t find it, rose 31 percent for college graduates, 37 percent for high school graduates, and 50 percent for associate degree graduates, though associate degree holders were still excluded at a lower rate than high school graduates (Tilsley, 2013).

On the surface the nation’s commitment in providing access to any individual seeking entry to Job Corps seems to be working. Now underneath the surfs is another story of this apparent success. With these dire economic times a supportive system that we can create by combining the education systems through partnerships with other schools, organizations, and companies would enable the next generation of students. It will allow them to further their careers and education giving them the chance to flourish into a generation to remember. Now that President Obama has called for ineffective programs to be placed on the chopping block in order to revise the United States Spending Budget. Which is causing Job Corps centers nationwide to close down there

One hundred senators represent the United States of America, but one in particular has received a surprising amount of attention. Elizabeth Warren is serving out her first term as a senator, but many consider her one of the most significant democratic figures of the current time. She toured with Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign and was featured on Saturday Night Live. Several media organizations write stories in her favor. Despite the media’s mistakes, they have rightfully portrayed Elizabeth Warren. Her effectiveness as a senator has earned respect of people and co-workers. However, Elizabeth Warren has gained negative coverage due to one scandal. Despite this issue, Elizabeth Warren has accomplished numerous goals and set a lasting precedent on the nation despite her past challenges.

In this paper I will explain the differences between two perceptions about education verses employment. First, I will examine “Are Too Many People Going to College?” written by Charles Murray which explores other avenues for employment without a formal education. Secondly, I will review Sanford Ungar’s work in “The New Liberal Arts”. He advocates a traditional Liberal Arts education as a necessity in life and a strong foundation for employment.

Her responses to these issues cannot be as vague as she has been and rather offer detailed solutions. As this candidate feels she can relate to more than fifty percent of Americas population, having been born into a “modest, middle-class family” and a mother and father who both worked full time that she best represents what American family’s want and need. (Fiorina) Fiorina is an advocate of growing the economy and reducing federal spending. She has repeatedly made this statement when addressing deficit and debt, but appears to contradict herself when speaking about jobs and “blames limited worker skills and government interference for high unemployment, and seeks to ameliorate the problem through jobs training, deregulation on businesses, and tax rate reductions.” (Carly Fiorina) Fiorina

Senators and House of Representatives members across the country are running for reelection. Without considering the cost of running for a Senator’s seat, beating an incumbent is a difficult hill to climb. Even with all of these obstacles, Katie McGinty has a strong foundation to run for Pennsylvania’s senator. She is a democrat who has big plans for her time in Congress. She is the best for senator for Pennsylvania because McGinty plans to raise the federal minimum wage and shows support for middle-class families. While never held office in Congress, she was chairwoman of an environmental quality council in the White House in the 90’s, so she has ample experience in dealing with policy and government matters.

For the fourth assignment, I am focusing on a conservative candidate in the 2016 election. Claudia Tenney is a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives elected from New York states’ 22nd congressional district. She was elected to fill the position in November 2016 wining over a democratic female candidate. She had one of the most expensive races in the nation in the position receiving 46.5% of the vote. In the district, she ran for an open seat as the previous incumbent had decided not to run. As per the readings in class women are more likely to win open seats so this election was quite interesting as both the candidates that were competing were women. Looking at Claudia Tenney’s challengers, she was opposed by democrat Kim

well-being is not treated as an integral part of the whole. Instead, the forgotten wage a daily

Preparing America for Middle-Skill Work is a short interview with Anthony Carnevale. Anthony Carnevale is the Executive Director of Georgetown 's Center on Education and is considered a "workforce guru". The article delves into the perceived shortage of middle skill workers, both now and in the future. Carnevale discusses the need for a new "paradigm" of education and what the United States can do to fill this ever-increasing need.

The National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) introduces Ariana Ayu as their most up - to - date Executive Board Member to this growing 43 - year group whose objective is to take on, coach, and elect competent women politicians (wtrf.com, 2015). In 2014, NWPC supported Alison Lundergan (Kentucky), Senator Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), and Senator Kay Hagan (North Carolina) as the running candidates for the US Senate. In addition to that, NWPC also supports Terri Sewell (Alabama), Ann Kirkpatrick (Arizona), Heidi Hall (California), and Rosa DeLauro (Connecticut) as the candidates for the U.S. House of

Presenting herself as an outsider implies that anyone, regardless of political background, has the ability to lead the United States, and her blueprint is a promise to the American people what that leadership will look like.

The Welfare System’s Desperate Need for an Overhaul According to census.gov, 21.3 percent of people in the United States took part in the use of welfare programs each month in 2012 (Virginia Hyer, 2015). Even though the heart of the welfare system is genuine and pure, the heart of the most promising nation in the world has ultimately become too lazy to live a fulfilling life and dependent on the hard work of others to provide its needs. “The land of opportunity” has lost its passion; instead of chasing dreams and success, our nation seeks the easy way out of nearly every task especially in the workforce. Everyone wants to live a promising, financially stable life, but no one wants to work for it.

Not only do the states’ low revenues cause affordability problems, but high unemployment rates contribute as well. As of December 2009, the nation’s unemployment rate was at ten percent (Boskin 22-27). The unemployment rate for people ages twenty to twenty-four is fifteen percent (Dickler). These numbers are still significantly high. This makes finding jobs extremely difficult for college students. Since the nation’s overall unemployment rate is high, students find themselves competing with everyone for jobs. This becomes very difficult for them. Without jobs,

He laments the loss of thousands of jobs and foretells of an economic collapse as jobs grow stagnant. Berman predicted, correctly, that low skilled jobs would never return in demand, and that the economic security of all low skilled workers was at risk. And that high skilled jobs would become the new standard. We are rapidly approaching a time in which an average worker is an unemployed worker. A vast array of skillsets and creativity will become the new base requirements for even the most minimalistic of

Today, many families in America work several jobs just to make ends meet; yet, sometimes the ends don't meet. As the financial vice tightens, more minorities are resorting to menial sources of employment such as janitorial, or parking attendants, or car wash employees. Notably "affirmative action" it is
