Immigration policy's effect on the labor force should be carefully considered, but the vast majority of immigrants are not admitted based on education or skill level. In 2009, the U.S. admitted over 1.1 million legal immigrants, just 5-8 percent of whom possessed employment skills in demand in the United States. By contrast, 66.1 percent were based on family preferences, or 73 percent if the relatives of immigrants arriving on employment visas are included. 16.7 percent of admissions were divided among refugees, asylum seekers and other humanitarian categories, while 4.2 percent of admissions were based on the diversity lottery (which only requires that winners have completed high school). Some family-based immigrants may be highly educated or skilled, but the vast majority of admissions are made without regard for those criteria.

Logic dictates that not all African Americans or women vote Democrat. But the trends indicate that a large proportion of each group does. Another issue which has to be addressed by both parties was the large degree of absenteeism at the voting booths in 1996 and 2000. Is the explanation for 1996 that it was a ‘forgone conclusion’ sufficient to explain why half of all registered voters did not vote?

The frequency distribution and pie chart are given as follows: |Frequency Distribution: | |Location |Frequency | |Urban |21 | |Suburban |15 | |Rural |14 | [pic] From the frequency distribution and pie chart, it is evident that the maximum number of customers belongs to the rural category (42%), followed by those in the suburban category (30%). Only 28% of the customers belong to the urban category. The 2nd individual variable considered is Size. It is a quantitative variable.
