    "-- Nearly half of new microbusinesses are women-owned -- Many microbusiness owners are pulling double duty, depending on a second job to make ends meet -- Despite struggles, 69 percent of microbusiness owners say they have the ideal job -- Microbusinesses would rather spend more time serving customers than taking time off WASHINGTON & BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 03, 2014-- One in three microbusiness owners (31%) depend more on a second job for their personal income than they do on their business, yet 69 percent say owning their business is the ideal job, according to the new Sam's Club/Gallup Microbusiness Tracker. In collaboration with Gallup, Sam's Club unveiled a new quarterly tracking poll today focused on America's smallest businesses -- microbusinesses -- with five or fewer workers. With more than 25 million microbusinesses in the United States*, they account for approximately 10 percent of all American jobs across a broad spectrum of businesses, such as pizza shops and cafes, convenience stores, pet groomers, mechanics, offices, day care centers and more. The results of the inaugural Sam's Club/Gallup Microbusiness Tracker provide new insights into the preparedness, concerns and needs of America's vital microbusiness segment. The results reflect 868 phone interviews made in March 2014 with companies of five or fewer employees."

The camps may be gone and Occupy may no longer be visible on the streets, but the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is still there, and growing. What appeared to be a passing phenomenon of protest now looks like the future of U.S. political debate, heralded by tangible policy wins and the new era of activist movements Occupy inaugurated." Article on the lasting impact of Occupy Wall Street on today's political, social, and environmental debates in this country and abroad.

Trump's Affirmative-Action Rollback: A Promise Kept - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • Since his inauguration, the Justice Department has reversed the previous administration’s efforts to uphold voting rights, served as an impediment to police reform, and weighed in against same-sex rights. It’s an agenda breathtaking in its scope.
  • Many Trump supporters believe themselves to be losing their country, something that leads them to prefer a social milieu more consistent with days gone by — one in which primarily white, middle- and upper-class, heterosexual, native-born men reigned supreme.
  • Moreover, in 2016, in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, the Supreme Court ruled that for the sake of diversity, race can be one of many criteria used by a college as part of a more holistic means of evaluating applicants.
