National Center for Education Statistics says, “An average student who comes to a new state from another state can expect to pay around $28,400 in tuition, fees, books and supplies for an academic year. Adding in an off-campus apartment and other expenses brings that to around $47,500.”(Should College Athletes Be Paid?) Attending college is a huge financial decision for most of the attending students. Though, if you are an athlete this is not the case, the scholarship you receive from the coach will relieve the stress that is put on other students.

Evidence of Problem Existence: Most of us can't get by on minimum wage pay and leaves people struggling at home. Chris Isidore stated on a article listed on CNN that "About 20% of American adults who have jobs are earning only $10.65 an hour or less, according to Osterman's analysis. Even at 40 hours a week, that amounts to less than $22,314, the poverty level for a family of

According to the act, as we have mentioned before, FMLA only covers private employers in which the business employs 50 or more employees. Since Steven works for a private organization which only employs almost 30 employees, this is one fact that will disqualify him for FMLA leave. Second of all, not just any employee who ends up being employed for an employer who is covered can actually take advantage of what FMLA has to offer. In order to gain benefits from this act, the employee has to be employed by the business for at least 12 months. Since Steven has only been employed for 7 months, this unfortunately further disqualifies him to the benefits under this act.

The incentive plan motivates managers to watch employees and reprimands any production waste. Managers observe and time employees on each task, if they consistently take longer than the RoundTech standards they are given very little time to work and often quit. RoundTech pays 50% of medical and dental expenses up to a maximum of $1,000 annually. Additionally, RoundTech allows their employees to purchase additional coverage through RoundTech 's insurance provider at a reduced cost then what they could get privately.

The average NFL career is 4 years, the average MLB career is 6 years, and the average NBA career is 5 years long. Professional athletes have very short careers and they only play for a few months in the year, whereas the average doctor career is 25 to 35 years long and the average police officer retires after working for 20 years or they get killed on duty. Police officers and doctors don’t get 3 to 5 months off like professional athletes and their careers are not 4 to 6 years long. So shouldn’t they be paid more than professional athletes? Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the highest paid athletes of 2015, with a salary of $300 million.

Nationwide, about 62% of people in jail are not serving time they’re just waiting for justice to be served in their case. I can't believe that the numbers are so high and that there is no one that can help those mothers, fathers, grandmas, and more. I feel that it is breaking the 8th amendment because for that person $500 is excessive. That $500 is probably their only money they have to spend on bills. We should not get rid of the bail bonds but improve them so that not so many men and women are not sitting in

Everyone has a responsibility to do. However, for working student like me that having a part-time job while taking college courses is a big responsibility. I decided to go to school full-time and work part-time to learn to become independent. In the essay “Working at Wendy’s” by Joey Franklin, he makes a case for setting aside pride to provide the daily needs of a family. On the other hand, I think it was great to have the experience as long as it made me more money.

and once I proved to myself that I can do it then I was able to prove to employers that I could do it even though it doesn't make me any more money now, if I would have had the right path it would have. I've got tons of friends that make really good money and we have the same degree no different. so for me college it's disappointed me a little bit honestly that my degree hasn’t been able to give me a little bit more money and that I'm not, with my work ethic and my experience that I can't get what I deserve and I honestly feel like I deserve more money now. I put in the time and effort, i’ve worked for 20 years so really college is just an addition to your life but you know if the people that don't do it just a

In 2014, at the end date of the goals point-in-time count showed that there were still 49,933 homeless veterans, which is a 33% drop in the population since the start of the action plan. Yet today there is still a huge population left on the streets. However, since 2009, the program as sheltered close to 200,000 veterans (O’Toole), but many still lack permanent housing. Federal funding to house homeless people must at least have some level of priority to veterans and those who fight for our country, rather than a pooling and housing people who were homeless because they spent too much on drugs or those who never contributed to society. Next, the mental health, as well as physical, must be taken into account to make sure everyone is being treated and cared for adequately.

Today, the United States remains one of three countries that does not have paid maternal leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993 after a long battle with conservative legislators and business lobbyists, guarantees that companies with 50 employees or more must provide new parents with 12 weeks of unpaid leave. The FMLA fails to protect more than half of working mothers in the United States, and the law only applies to women who have been working at their company for at least one year. This leaves out part-time employees, contracted workers and those who are employed at smaller companies. Up to 40 percent of employees are not eligible, and many of those who are cannot even afford to take unpaid leave.

The law on minimum wage has become very consequential and has came to light to employees whom are required to work the current wage. The state of Texas has had the same minimum wage since 2009 which it is currently $7.25. It has been numerous complaints throughout the state about the minimum wage in Texas. Employees main concern is that they are simply getting underpaid for their work. Compared to other states the minimum wage Texas seems to have fallen very far behind.

The financial situation I see myself in consists of sharing a rented apartment with one other person—likely my sister or a close friend—and working at Badcock Home Furniture & More with an income around $14 an hour. Additionally, I imagine I would have a small side income based on my artistic works, but it wouldn’t not be too large due to the time each piece would take to create alongside a 40-hour work week. I do not imagine either myself or my roommate owning a pet or using cable television, and I know whoever I would room with would remain fairly frugal with their money. Furthermore, renting an apartment would reduce many of the expenses of living in a house, such as home improvement, repairs, and gardening. My cellphone plan is still under

This student was from the http://thinkprogress.org/ in effect to show how hard it is to pay for college. Some families end up getting loans but it’s a bite in the butt when they can’t afford to pay it back due to the tuition and cost to help their children be successful in life. Bernie Sanders presidential runner for the democrat party quoted; Today, it would take a minimum wage worker an entire year to earn enough to cover the annual in-state tuition at a public university. And that’s why so many

Before the current race for President of the United States, millennials had little reason to be involved with politics or vote. Asma Khalid states that “In fact, millennials continue to have the lowest voter turnout of any age group. Only about 46 percent [of millennials] voted in the last presidential election…” Khalid also points out that another reason millennial voting was so low in the previous elections was because millennials were not of age to vote. Rachel Gossen says that “By 2016, 93 million millennials will be of voting age and 81 million will be eligible voters,

Furthermore, an average American Indian household living in Pine Ridge will take home about half the U.S. median, and this income is likely welfare allowing them to survive. Paths out of poverty are simply not present on Pine Ridge: job opportunities are scarce, and the unemployment rate is estimated to stand at 80%. Despite the extreme poverty of Pine Ridge, the federal government has been loath to support it for decades, and even that minimal help has been threatened by the current political climate of budget
