Mothers and grandmothers realize the impacts climate change will have on their babies, according to a new poll released yesterday (June 29). And they’re worried—especially Black and Latina moms.
Public Policy Polling conducted the poll, which surveyed 804 mothers and grandmothers in the U.S. from June 21 to 22. Of those, 13 percent were Black, 7 percent Latinx and 5 percent other races, but the numbers show that these moms have the strongest sentiments about the global manmade catastrophe.

Half of the highest-paying jobs for college graduates are in technology, but—despite the high pay—employers struggle to fill these and other positions. According to the National Science Foundation, in 2013, there were 262,981 blacks, Hispanics, and Indian Americans ages 45 years and younger with bachelor’s or advanced degrees in computer and mathematical sciences or electrical engineering—three of several fields closely associated with high-tech jobs.

Creating an engaged audience on any of your social networks involves give and take. People "like" brands on Facebook as a sign of support. They shop in your store, appreciate the service provided, and support the work. They have some sort of relationship with your business or organization and are demonstrating a willingness to receive updates. Before developing a working social media strategy, here are some useful information:
Facebook -- According to a Syncapse study, which surveyed 2,000 respo
Ever experienced the soul-crushing realization that you’re not getting paid as much as you should? Do you find yourself swimming through extra work, without the buoy of a title bump to match? Sounds like you need to negotiate for a change. If the thought of asking your boss for a raise, or countering a prospective employer’s initial offer gives you the shivers, there’s hope: negotiation doesn’t have to be scary.
Too many professionals avoid negotiation because they don’t want to seem too aggres
Amid the bloodshed in Venezuela, the corruption scandal in Brazil and the stream of bizarre statements coming out of President Trump’s Twitter feed, a very important news item has gone almost unnoticed in Latin America: A new study says the region is failing miserably in innovation.
The Global Innovation Index 2017, a ranking of 130 countries across the world, says that African, Eastern European and Southeast Asian countries are doing much better than Latin America when it comes to modernizing
Latinos are becoming an increasingly critical engine for America’s economic growth, a new report finds.
In 2015, the 55 million Latinos living and working in the U.S. were responsible for $2.13 trillion — or 11.8% — of America’s $18.04 trillion gross domestic product, according to a study released Thursday by the Latino Donors Collaborative, a nonpartisan association of Latino business, political and academic leaders.
And those contributions are expected to continue to grow. READ MORE AT FOX NE
We are all survivors.
We wouldn’t be here if you have not.
You work hard. You manage stressful jobs. Some of you have businesses and don’t know where the next income stream is going to come from and some of you don’t know if you will pay the rent this month yet, you find a way. Many of us have relationship problems that distract us from what we are trying to achieve. Some of us have physical disabilities that challenge or prohibit us from the basic activities the rest of us enjoy.

Tempting as it is for any student to focus their search for work or work experience on the big household names such as Rolls-Royce or BAE Systems, when it comes to STEM, small is often beautiful.

The economic output of the roughly 55 million Latinos in the United States would form the seventh-largest economy in the world, a new report shows, with a GDP of $2.1 trillion in 2015 — just behind France, but ahead of India.
If they were a US state, they'd have the country's second-largest economy, behind only California.
The report, produced by the Latino Donor Collaborative, is part of an effort to promote what is says is "a factual view of the importance of Latinos to our economy."

The workers’ comp industry is in for big changes as older workers continue to stay on the job longer and more Latinos are employed in the workplace.

Ideally, a job search is something you start on your own terms. You feel ready for a fresh challenge, or a career change or to move from one company to another.
But the harsh reality is that you won’t always start looking because you want to.
