"The State's university system, once the envy of the nation, has fallen in quality combined with increased demands for admission by an ever-growing number of applicants," says the CAPS report. In the schools, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, enrollments rose from 4.8 million in 1990-91 to almost 6 million ten years later. By 2000, "there were more Hispanics than other children enrolled in the State's schools." California is currently spending $6,837 per student, "so more than $16 billion was spent last year on students whose native language was other than English." California has been so mismanaged by its governors and legislature that it is billions in debt.
With increasing demand for these facilities, organizations are seeing 25 to 60 percent increases (November 27, 1986). For example, the Holy Trinity Ministry to the Poor projected a 144 percent increase this year (November 27, 1986). The economy of Texas with an unemployment rate of 9.5 percent (1.5 percent higher the past year) along with the increasing number of transient out-of-towners has helped increase the problem with homeless being on the streets (November 27, 1986). In addition, the shortage of more than 45,000 units of low-income housing,
United States Federal Debt or Deficits Julie Bergman Business Statistics Wheeler January 28, 2013 The United State government’s national debt is a serious and growing problem. From 1940 to 2011, the debt has risen significantly. This drastic upsurge began in the 80’s, and has increased even more in recent years.

Memo To: Kathleen McGarry, Economics Department Chair From: Daniel Shamooelian Date: January 12, 2015 Subject: Rising textbook prices and recommendations Over the past few years, textbook prices have been increasing at a rapid pace. Textbook prices have been rising faster than the price of clothing, food, cars, and even healthcare. Students have been complaining about the issue for years, yet prices just keep going up. Through this memo I will explain why textbook prices have risen dramatically over the past few years and give recommendations on how to lower these costs. Publishers claim their window of making money has drastically fallen due to the evolution of the used-textbook market and the internet.
Ambitious targets of an annual 1% per capita immigration rate were hindered by financial limits. The Liberals made a commitment to raising actual immigration levels higher in 2005. Many of the political parties are now nervous about criticizing the high level of immigration. Canada still gets more immigrants per capita than any other major country in the world. The per capita immigration rate in Canada has been pretty constant since the 1950s, and recent years have seen a gradual increase in the skill level and education of immigrants to Canada.
With the Affirmative Action program there was a dramatic increase in college attendance among blacks, yet there was still an astounding amount of unemployed blacks. In 1975, the overall black unemployment rate was 1.8 times higher than the white unemployment. Affirmative Action not only helps blacks it also helped women. In 1977 the percentage of full time female faculty was 10.6 percent, and it had grown to 21.7 percent by 1987. The present percentage of law school appointments that are women has reached 40
Education Debt in the United States and Abroad and Finding a Possible Solution “The cost of college tuition has skyrocketed with huge increases over the past five years as college aid has been reduced by states budgets. By every indication, college is now more expensive than it has ever been, making it out of reach of not only poor Americans, but even middle class ones” (Jilani). The debt attained by those seeking higher education in the United States is a far cry from many countries. In contrast, the cost of tuition in the United States has continued to rise to the tune of approximately 1.2 trillion dollars to date with no realistic solution to alleviate the situation. “The average cost per year for attending
Introduction In Ontario, minimum wage legislation has changed four times over the past 16 years. Moreover, since 1994, the minimum wage has increased from $6.70 to $10.25 in 2010. The intended purpose of minimum wage legislation has been to reduce poverty and give more earning power to those working in low-wage sectors.
