Yes, Wal-Mart provides many uneducated Americans with job however it isn’t a job from which can make livable wage. Wal-Mart pays all their employees besides management minimum wage. With prices on the rise like they are today it is hard for a person to live off minimum wage which is currently 7 dollars and 25 cents in New York. Not to mention if you have kids it is virtually impossible to live off minimum wage and if you do it’s an unpleasing struggle. Another problem is that there is no growth in your field if you work at Wal-Mart.
Healthy Foods, Inc., sells 50-pound bags of grapes to the military for $10 a bag. The fixed costs of this operation are $80,000, while the variable costs of the grapes are $.10 per pound. a. What is the break-even point in bags? Unit Contribution Margin (UCM) = Price – Variable Cost = $10 – (50 × $0.10) = $10 - $5 = $5 BEP in bags = [pic][pic] = [pic] = 16,000 bags b.

Because of this and the lack of financial stability, I now work full time in order to pay tuition. If I was not able to get a job due to the economy, I would not be able to attend college, graduate and then have a well-paying job. Because of the cost of education, parents who live in poverty are not able to provide their children with a quality education and when these children grow up and choose not to work and strive for a better education or a better way of living, they will likely remain in poverty. Functionalist theory What purpose does poverty serve from functionalist perspective? Emile Durkheim stated, “The purpose of education is not the same across all societies, but that its purpose in any given society will instead be whatever it needs to be in order to maintain that society.” Even though we do not like
The logical thing for her to do is postpone her college enrollment until she’s ready. Likewise, if Jill was mentally prepared, yet knows she isn’t ready to handle the financial burden of attending a university, it would be beneficial for her to take some time off, work a year or two, and save up a college fund that would enable her to pay tuition costs; she could also take out loans to make up for what she isn’t able to pay. Even after subtracting the costs of tuition and fees, college graduates would have plenty of profit left over to pay off student loans, as their lifetime earnings are roughly $650,000 more than those who don’t obtain a higher education (Cohn, 2011). It is only rational that those who benefit from schooling, the students, pay the majority of the costs. With California’s current $16 billion budget deficit it is no surprise that Proposition 30 was needed to prevent a decrease in state funding to
Mexico City has a population of 19.5 million, with an expectation of it reaching 21.6 million in 2015. Challenges occurring in mega cities due to a surplus population include discrepancies in the distribution of income and employment, inadequate water, sanity, infrastructure and housing. In mega cities which are generally situated in a developing country, individuals usually commute to a city in hope of employment, education and a better future. These individuals arrive with no skills and no wealth, generally coming from rural areas. Therefore they have limited rights when it comes to employment and their desperate nature to support themselves or their families leads them to hazardous working conditions and wages much lower then the minimum wage.
I think she should not move out. The advantage of her moving into an apartment; Martha can learn to take care of herself and not always counting on her parents. She will have more time to finish her homework and she don’t have to wake up so early in the morning however moving out can also be bad because there are so many bills to pay, for example she will have to pay for the gas, electricity, water, garbage day, and phone bills. And that is not all, now that she live by herself she will need to go and buy and cook her own
So with both President Obama and my mom if they didn’t do there part to provide and maintain a stable country and home they both would fall apart. Leadership skills are also a good quality to have. If the president and my mom didn’t no how to lead us followers it would be a catastrophe. My mom leads are home with a iron fist and whatever she says goes and we follow her in any way. For example, if my mom says for us to go clean are rooms and we don’t know how she would go show us and then we would know how to do it then.
Having financial problems played a factor also in my returning to school. Being a single parent, with no support, I knew that I had to make some drastic changes. I have to joggle so many tasks each day and it can be hard. My family motivates me not to give up on my academic goals because I know it is something I have to do. Additionally, having a better income to support me and my family would be nice.
An education costs money and a single parent with only one source of income plus all the other payments will definitely cause problems. In contrast, if both the husband and wife work, they could combine their incomes and their financial problems would be at a minimum. They will probably be able to offer their kids a better education and a better living overall. Not to sound corny or anything but love has to exist among the members of the household. There should be love between the parents and between the parents and children.
