Scary Chart of the Day – 06.21.12
Yikes!
Your WTF moment for the day. You have to read the whole post. Priceless.
I often wonder why, when so many TV shows and movies are made here in Hollywood North, more celebrities don’t just buy houses and live here? Say you were a fairly affluent star and had around $3-3.5 million to spend on a place to crash…

The Benefits Of A College Education
As the following graphic from IBD demonstrates, for the first time in history, a majority of jobless workers over 25 have attended some college, and now outnumber those without a job who simply have a high school diploma or less. But at least those in the fomer category have tens of thousands of non-dischargeable debt to show for it.

Why So Many Ph.D.s Are On Food Stamps : NPR
Tony Yang received his Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Riverside in 2009. Since then, he’s worked on and off as a history lecturer, but has had to depend on unemployment and food stamps to get by.
In his best year since getting his Ph.D., Yang says he made about $32,000; in his worst, about $10,000. He says there’s a perception that if you have a doctorate, you automatically walk into a high-paying job.
“I have the prestige of holding a Ph.D., but that [isn’t] paying the bills,” he says.

The company has reduced its total workforce by 730 positions, or almost 10 percent, over the past four years, mainly by attrition.

Short articles like this make me wonder what’s really happening. We don’t know the total number of staff in the company’s IT department so we cannot know what percentage of the entire staff was affected. So I went online and found the following:
The cut positions included 85 people based at the company headquarters at 6000 American Parkway and its other Madison location, off Milwaukee Street, plus two people outside Madison. There are 850 people remaining in the company’s information services division, making the job reductions equal to about a 10 percent cut there.
