Optimists may have a point. A gain of 271,000 jobs last month means that america has created 13 million jobs since the depth of a recession that wiped out 8. 7 million jobs and wages are rising at a faster clip for people who have jobs. Average Hourly Earnings in october hit 25. 20 thats a gain of 2. 5 compared to a year ago, the biggest increase since 2009 and significantly better than the average of about 2 since the recovery official began six years ago. Good news for sure but i want to talk about a group of people who remain at a distinct disadvantage when look for work in the United States. Men and women who have served time in prison or jail, former prisoners are among the larger group of some americans anyone from a misdemeanor or a felony conviction, estimates put that at 100 million or one out of three americans, disclosing a criminal record on a job application can reduce your chances of employment by almost twothirds. Thats why president obama this week ordered federal agenc

It was kind of an anchor institution that drove greater connectivity. Look, i appreciate that. I think if you look at the weight of all the evidence that came in from various groups, and you can say they are biased, support for reform of the program to have wifi
