☆ Why March Madness Is a Special Time of Year for State Budgets
  + stars: | 2024-03-23 | by ( The Conversation | March | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
The percentage kept, called the hold rate, has been steadily climbing over time, with 2023’s national average at 9.1% of the money bet. If gamblers bet around $3 billion on March Madness, then states will pocket over $50 million dollars in extra revenue just from a three-week basketball tournament. Meanwhile, the number of calls to the National Problem Gambling Helpline lasting more than a minute has increased sharply in recent years. While not every state and bank allows credit cards to fund a sports betting account, many do. Anyone with an online gambling account would need to prefund their account with cash.

☆ Have We Forgotten the True Meaning of Labor Day?
  + stars: | 2023-09-01 | by ( The Conversation | Sept. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +8 min
History of Labor DayThe first Labor Day occurred in 1882 in New York City under the direction of that city’s Central Labor Union. The New York Tribune’s reporter covering the event felt the entire day was like one long political barbecue, with “rather dull speeches.”Why was Labor Day invented? Common misconceptionsThe common misconception is that since Labor Day is a national holiday, everyone gets the day off. It became a national holiday in June 1894 when President Grover Cleveland signed the Labor Day bill into law. Because not everyone is given time off on Labor Day, union workers as recently as the 1930s were being urged to stage one-day strikes if their employer refused to give them the day off.

One way to ease the blow to your wallet or purse is by using frequent-flyer miles. So we calculated how much a frequent-flyer mile is worth by dividing the number of frequent-flyer miles needed by the ticket price. We found the best time to spend your frequent-flyer miles for Thanksgiving travel was to book during the first week of October, which was about eight weeks out. The best day to flyAs for what's the best day on which to travel to get the most from your miles, there are two answers.
