☆ 13% of Americans have a disability—what this means during the job application process
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-06 | by ( Isabel Engel | In Isabel--Engel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

But this percentage is likely an undercount, Mia Ives-Rublee, disability justice initiative director at the Center for American Progress, tells CNBC Make It. Employers aren't allowed to ask you about your disability status in a job interview, so why are they allowed to include a voluntary question on a job application? "Legally, it cannot be flagged on your application," Ives-Rublee says. The choice to self-identify on a job application, or once you are hired into a company, is a deeply personal one, Ives-Rublee acknowledges. It is, of course, up to you to decide if or when you are comfortable disclosing your disability status — even if you know the self-identification will be kept confidential during the job application process.

The most lucrative college degrees are still largely held by men, a Bankrate study has found. It found that 78% of those who held the 20-highest paying bachelor's degrees were men, while only 22% were women. In electrical engineering, 85% of degree holders were men and 15% were women, with the average salary totaling $110,000.

"The world is rapidly evolving — and so is the college experience." Srivastava is one of a soaring number of Gen Zers who has decided to skip college altogether. The widening gap between the value and the cost of college has started to shift Gen Z's attitude toward higher education. They're not as interested in the typical "college experience" — whiling away four years rooming with friends and drinking at frat parties. But other members of Gen Z are taking a hard look at the "essence" of college.

☆ Wrestling With Inequality, Some Conservatives Redraw Economic Blueprint

More Republicans are coming to the view that economic inequality, or a lack of social mobility, is a problem in the United States — and that more can be done to enable families to attain or regain a middle-class life. Though discussions about inequality tend to be most visible among liberals, about four in 10 Republican or Republican-leaning adults think there is too much economic inequality in the country, according to a Pew Research survey. And among Republicans making less than about $40,000 a year who see too much economic inequality, 63 percent agree that the economic system “requires major changes” to address it. “I don’t think just having a bigger government is a solution to a lot of these problems,” said Inez Stepman, a senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum and a fellow with the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank widely credited with giving Trumpism an intellectual framework. “But I do think that we could stand to think a little bit more on the right about how to make that 1950s middle-class life possible for people.”

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Aug 29 (Reuters) - At what age should American kids become financially independent? In almost every category, Baby Boomers expect people to become financially independent a year or two earlier compared to what Gen Z has to say. With health insurance, for instance, adult kids can typically stay on parent plans until the age of 26. BE STRATEGIC ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCEThe reality is the parents do indeed help adult kids out financially: 68% of them have made such a sacrifice, according to Bankrate. For instance, if such help has erased your own emergency fund, or depleted your retirement accounts, that is not going to help anybody – and, in fact, will boomerang on those kids later if you become dependent on them.

The American workers who have had their careers upended by automation in recent decades have largely been less educated, especially men working in manufacturing. But the new kind of automation — artificial intelligence systems called large language models, like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard — is changing that. The jobs most exposed to automation now are office jobs, those that require more cognitive skills, creativity and high levels of education. The workers affected are likelier to be highly paid, and slightly likelier to be women, a variety of research has found. In a majority of jobs, the models could do some of the tasks, found the analyses, including from Pew Research Center and Goldman Sachs.

In the Republican coalition, it is a moment that has culminated decades of change – and one that points to years of turbulence ahead. Overwhelming majorities of Republican voters dismiss the charges against Trump. In Gallup’s latest annual survey of trust in institutions, Republicans expressed less faith in 10 of the 16 measured. Veteran GOP pollster Whit Ayres points to another, more personal, reason so many GOP voters have discounted the charges against Trump. Trump is the Republican most effectively riding that wave now, but it seems unlikely to recede whenever he fades from the political scene.

The Biden administration announced nearly $700 million in funding for rural, high-speed internet projects. The funding comes from the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which pours billions into internet access. That money funds, in part, the USDA's ReConnect program, which disburses loans and grants to programs intended to get rural communities online. "For too long, rural communities haven't had access to basic resources like affordable, reliable, high-speed internet," Mitch Landrieu, senior advisor to the president and White House infrastructure coordinator, said in a press call. According to 2018 Census data on internet use, Americans living in cities were more likely to have internet access than their rural counterparts: 86% of urban households had an internet subscription, compared to 81% for rural households.

When I’m around young adults I like to ask them how they are thinking about the big commitments in their lives: what career to go into, where to live, whom to marry. Most of them have thought a lot about their career plans. But my impression is that many have not thought a lot about how marriage will fit into their lives. In 2006, 50 percent of young adults said it was very important for a couple to marry if they intended to spend the rest of their lives together. But by 2020 only 29 percent of young adults said that.
