...Brian Mathews English 101 Hofreiter 4-2-13 Technology Taking Our Jobs In the 19th century, The British textile industry was one of the main contributors to the start of the Industrial Revolution. Many self-employed British tailors found themselves out of work with no way to earn income through their profession. It forced tailors out of their jobs because Britain’s textile industry was more efficient than a self employed tailor and the quality was still pretty high. They became obsolete very quickly and if they didn’t find another job, the children and families of these tailors would soon starve or become homeless. As more technologies were invented during the Industrial Revolution, more and more professions became outdated which forced many people to become unemployed. What people don’t realize is that we are still facing the same problem 200 years later. Technology is slowly replacing human jobs in order to make production and services cheaper and more efficient. Based on history, becoming replaced by a machine is inevitable to many people in many areas of work. Although technology is creating jobs, at the same time it is killing them off at an even greater rate. Many people are finding themselves no longer needed to carry out the same job that would be impossible without them 15 years ago. “In the United States, half of the 7.5 million jobs lost during the Great Recession paid middle-class wages, and the numbers...

...Unit 1 - Fundamentals of Statistics Jeanna Starr American InterContinental University Abstract A data analysis was done on job satisfaction for the company AIU categorized by age, gender, tenure, position, and department. Overall job satisfaction as well as intrinsic (satisfaction with the actual performance of the job) and extrinsic (office location or work colleagues) job satisfaction were considered in this survey. Introduction AIU assembled a team of researchers to study job satisfaction. I was selected as part of a group to participate in a massive global undertaking. The study required me to examine data and analyze the results. The study consists of job satisfaction, which is extremely important to an organization’s overall success. This particular study will allow managers to gain understanding and knowledge about what type of human behaviors can be used to strengthen an organization’s performance. Chosen Variables I have chosen gender for my qualitative data and intrinsic for my quantitative data. The reason that I have chosen these two variables is because I thought it would be interesting to analyze if males or females were more satisfied with their job, and how the actual job performance reflected their job satisfaction rating. Difference in variable types Qualitative variables include subjects that are non-numerical, such as gender. Quantitative variables include subjects that are numerical and give us a clear visual as to what...

..."Characteristics of Minimum Wage Workers: 2011. "Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey (2011): n. pag. Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Web. 19 Feb. 2015. In this article, the United States Department of Labor depicts the characteristics of minimum wage earning people in the year 2011. The minimum wage at the time is the same as the current wage of $7.25. Many of the workers were stated to be around 16 years old working these minimum wage jobs. They say that minimum wage workers tend to be young, generally under 25 and often times minorities. Most of these workers are working in the field of food. These demographics in this article break down those who make minimum wage and show the age groups as well. They talk about race, gender, age, and marital status as all being important aspects of the minimum wage demographic. These statistics will help immensely with my argument as to who the minimum wage generally is there for. At the very beginning they claim it is people around 16 years old who primarily make minimum wage. This falls hand in hand with the argument that many adults do not make minimum wage and are in higher paying jobs than what the public perceives them to be in. These supports and characteristics I look to use often through out the research I have...

...in School psychology. Becoming a school psychologist has been something that I wanted to do since my freshman year in college. During that time I began working for an organization called Community Intervention and Research Center as a behavioral aide, which I found to be very rewarding. Though the organization was a social service agency, we worked with a lot of school and child psychologists. My job duties were to be someone who enforces behavior modification with children who were put on my case load one on one but within their normal everyday environment. Each child had a treatment plan that was put in place by their psychologist and my duty was to help implement it. So I accompanied the children on my caseload to school, home and/or their after school program. Each child had been diagnosed with some sort of emotional, behavioral, and/or learning disorder and it was my job to coach them through some of their difficulties. This job actually meant a lot to me because as a child I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Growing up was very difficult for me because I was always being kicked out of schools or put in remedial classes because a lot of schools weren’t adept at handling children with ADHD. So this job became especially important to me which is why I chose the profession of Educational Psychology. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in order to become a school psychologist one must obtain a master’s degree in psychology followed...

I also thought I would be interesting to see which gender is more satisfied with their job performance. Difference in variable types The variables I choose to analyze are Gender and Intrinsic Job Satisfaction. Since there are no significant numeric values or instruction connected with the two levels the variable gender is nominal. Intrinsic Job Satisfaction is based on ratio; numerical values are connected with this variable with a profound zero. The appropriate to use for the gender variable is mode, it measured central tendency which is most frequency occurrence.

People who are extremely comfortable being underwater and like the metal business would love this job. The conditions divers would be in is, outside and underwater the majority of the time.

...path for your life? A college education is all of these choices and then some. My choice to gain an education is for the establishment of a professional, personal, and financial foundation. My success also depends on this decision. Success is measured differently for each individual, but for me it’s measured by the opportunities afforded through receiving an education. In today’s economy, knowledge is not something I decided to have; I found it as being something that is essential to gain. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, between 1980 and 2005 “young adults with at least a bachelor’s degree consistently had higher median earnings than those with less education” (Kirstina). Obtaining knowledge through a college education is of utmost importance to me. I will be the first in my family to graduate college with degree of knowledge. Knowledge is so vast that there is no exact definition to define it. The definition of knowledge for me, is acquiring information and skills to prepare me for life’s obstacles. One of life’s greatest obstacles that knowledge renders you for, is success in a profession or trade. “The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts net job growth of almost 3 million health care jobs in the decade ending in 2029, a 29 percent increase over other groups” (Katherine). In the health care industry lies my dream job. My dream job is to be a health care administrator with a PhD. Gaining a PhD in healthcare administration...

...very much related to cosmetology because cosmetology is all about looks. Just to get an outlook on this occupation, a lot of important information includes salary potential, working hours, availability of positions, job duties, and required training and education. All of which are important aspects to carefully look over when deciding if cosmetology is the right career for you. The Occupational Outlook Handbook [OOH] reports, “Median hourly wages in May 2008 for hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists, including tips and commission, were $11.13. Median hourly wages in May 2008 for barbers, including tips, were $11.56. Among skin care specialists, median hourly wages, including tips, were $13.81. Manicurists and pedicurists earned $9.46, and shampooers earned $8.32 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 3-4).” This seems fairly the same, since this was reported in 2008, as this year, 2010. According to today’s cosmetologists, the salary depends on the workplace, although these wages seem very similar to any normal cosmetologist. From my outlook, I think the hours are very flexible and random. I walk in to get a pedicure and I get in within 15 minutes. When I get my haircut, I usually call my hairstylist and state and time within a few days, or even hours. Kirby Waninger, my personal hairstylist from Jasper, Indiana, mostly agrees, although she says, “We are closed on Mondays, but we usually work long hours because clients want to Watson 2 come in after work, which is usually...
