Since black unemployment peaked at 16.8% in March 2010, it’s fallen 4.2 percentage points, to 12.6%.
However, unemployment is falling faster among blacks than among whites: The jobless rate among blacks fell nine-tenths of a percentage point last month, as 228,000 more adults found work.
White unemployment peaked much lower than that of blacks — 9.2% in November 2009 — but has fallen by a lesser amount since then: 2.6 percentage points, to 6.6% last month.
The number of employed and unemployed whites fell in July, while the number not counted as being the labor force — due to retirement, going back to school, or simply giving up on looking for work — rose for the second month in a row.
Joblessness among blacks and Hispanics continues to be well above that of whites, and remains higher for all racial groups than before the Great Recession.
Those who are most familiar with Islam are significantly more likely than those with minimal exposure to say that there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims today.
Seven-in-ten say this, compared with just 44% of those with a low level of familiarity.
A similar pattern exists with regard to whether Americans perceive a lot of discrimination against Muslims.
As on the question of Islam and violence, a large portion (25%) of those with minimal knowledge of Islam say they do not know whether there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims today.
In 2009 there were around 900 hate groups.
It declined rapidly in 2013-2014 from 1,000 to 800 and then began to rise again.
There is an increase in hate groups from 200-2011.
From 2011-2014 there is a sharp decrease before increasing again.
The number of hate groups in the U.S has gradually increased from 1999 to around 2010.

We have seen two higher jumps in 2009 and 2016.
Many Americans anticipate that various automation technologies will make significant inroads in terms of their development and adoption in the coming decades.
Driverless vehicles are perhaps the most prominent example of this trend.
Fully 94% of Americans have some awareness of the effort to develop driverless vehicles, and roughly two-thirds of the public anticipates that most vehicles on the road will be driverless within the next half-century – with 9% predicting that this will occur in the next 10 years.
Republican men are particularly resistant to the idea of boys playing with toys and participating in activities that are typically associated with girls.
In contrast, a majority of Republican women (58%) see this as a good approach for raising boys.
About six-in-ten Republican men (61%) say it’s a bad thing for parents to encourage young boys to do this, while just 38% say this is a good thing.
This is the first time since May that significantly more view news about the economy as mixed than mostly bad.
Despite the improving perceptions of economic news, however, somewhat more say they are hearing mostly bad economic news today than did so at the start of the year (24% in January).
Currently, 56% say the news they are hearing about the economy is a mix of good and bad, while 36% say the news is mostly bad.
As has been the case for the past three years, very few people (6% currently) say the news they are hearing about the economy is mostly good.

A median of just 22% of Westerners said Muslims are respectful of women, but far more said Muslims are honest (median of 51%) and generous (41%).
Westerners’ views of Muslims were more mixed.
A median of 50% across four Western European countries, the U.S. and Russia called Muslims violent and a median of 58% called them “fanatical,” but fewer used negative words like greedy, immoral or selfish.
LGBT adults believe that greater social acceptance has come as a result of more Americans knowing someone who is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, according to our survey.
Seven-in-ten LGBT adults say people knowing someone who is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender helps a lot in making society more accepting, and 24% say this helps a little.
Individual relationships and the role of well-known public figures, like Ellen DeGeneres, are viewed as being the most helpful things in fostering acceptance.
Interestingly, Americans themselves are more likely to assign that negative characteristic to their fellow countrymen (35% do so) than are the residents of Great Britain (29%), the Netherlands (26%) and Poland (21%).
Only, in neighboring Canada does a 53%-majority describe Americans as rude.
(See chart below).
And a scant 12% of Germans find Americans lacking in politeness.
This view is shared by larger majorities in Indonesia (56%) and Jordan (64%).
In Turkey, an identical 53% see Americans as rude.
Looking farther around the globe, however, one finds other countries that share Canada’s reservations with regard to American gentility.
Growing wages for women have helped narrow the gender pay gap, though women still lag men in pay.
Men earned a median hourly wage of $19.23 in 2016, down slightly from $19.42 in 1980.

Republicans and independents are much more mixed in their views: 42% of Republicans expect a bill to pass, half (50%) do not.
Among independents, 43% think health care reform will happen over the next year, while a comparable percentage (46%) do not think a bill will pass.
A broad majority of Democrats (62%) say they expect a bill to pass over the next year; about a quarter (27%) do not think reform will happen.
By a 48%-40% margin, more Americans continue to say they think a health care reform bill will pass over the next year than say they do not think that will happen.
Opinion on this question is virtually identical to that measured a week earlier.
The partisan divide over the prospects for health care reform also remains.
House passage of health care legislation late Saturday, Nov. 7, had little effect on public attitudes: opinions measured in the two days after passage were not significantly different than those measured in the two days leading up to the vote.
Among the public, three-in-ten (32%) followed Obama’s appointments and plans very closely, making it among the most closely followed stories of the week.

In addition, Democrats are more likely to name Germany as a top foreign policy partner for the U.S.
But U.S. drone strikes could well continue in 2014.
Among the 39 nations surveyed by the Pew Research Center in 2013, half or more of the public in 31 countries disapproved of such military action.
Drone Warfare: Washington’s use of drones to target extremists in countries such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia is likely to continue to fuel anti-American sentiment because it is widely opposed around the world.
Half of Americans say such actions have made the United States safer from terrorism.
That’s little different from April 2010 – shortly after the law was enacted – when 44% said they disapproved and 40% said they approved.
According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in mid-June – in advance of the court’s ruling – 48% of the public disapprove of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, while 43% approve.
Particularly during the late primary season and start of the general election, interest in the campaign was higher among Democrats than Republicans.
In recent, post-convention surveys, Republicans and Democrats have both registered increasingly higher levels of interest in the campaign.
As has been the case throughout the campaign, Democrats are following election news more closely than Republicans and independents.
Last week, 64% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans reported following the campaign very closely.
There have been consistently more than 2000 racist incidents recorded by the police in Wales each year between 2009 and 2020.

On the whole, the numbers seem to increase other than 3 years where there is a decline.
The United Kingdom and France – countries with significant immigrant populations – received far fewer asylum applicants relative to their population size in 2015-16 than other countries, and each saw a relatively modest 0.2-percentage-point increase in their foreign-born shares (to 13.4% in the UK and 12.3% in France for 2016).
The foreign-born shares in Norway (15.3% in 2016) and Austria (18.5% in 2016) increased by about 1 point over the same period.
Hungary’s foreign-born share rose from 4.6% in 2015 to 5.8% in 2016, a 1.3-point increase.
In Finland, the share of foreign born rose an estimated 0.8 points, from 5.7% to 6.5%.
Several European countries, however, saw little change in their percent foreign born between 2015 and 2016.
Countries with smaller immigrant populations like Hungary and Finland also saw their foreign-born shares increase significantly due to the 2015-2016 migration surge.
Sweden had the greatest increase, rising from about 16.8% in 2015 to 18.3% in 2016, a 1.5-percentage-point increase.
Recent migrants added to already substantial foreign-born populations living in Sweden, Norway and Austria – all nations in which the foreign born make up 15% or more of the population in 2016.
Fully 45% say they followed reports about the condition of the U.S. economy very closely; 15% name it as their most closely followed story of the week.
However, just as many call swine flu their top story of the week (16%) as cited the economy (15%).
In general, swine flu interest outpaced coverage: just 2% of the newshole was devoted to the story last week.
According to a separate analysis of coverage by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, the health care debate took up about a third (32%) of the week’s newshole.
Coverage of the economy was relatively modest, filling 9% of the newshole.
After the debate over health care reform, news about swine flu and the economy vied for public attention, with other stories registering less widely.
Reports about swine flu and the availability of a vaccine were followed very closely by a somewhat smaller percentage of the public (30%).
Close to four-in-ten (37%) Americans say they followed news about the economy very closely last week, a level of interest little changed since the start of December; 14% say they followed news about the economy most closely.
Other stories garnered relatively low interest, including the visit to the U.S. by Chinese President Hu Jintao, news about political instability and earthquake recovery in Haiti and news about instability in Tunisia following the government’s collapse there.
Partisan differences on economic news are slight.
News out of Haiti accounted for 3% of coverage, while news about Tunisia accounted for 2%.
There are no significant differences in interest among partisans.
Just more than one-in-ten (13%) say they followed news about the Chinese leader’s visit very closely, while 3% say this was the news they followed most closely.
Meanwhile, 16% say they followed reports out of Haiti very closely and 7% say they followed news about instability in Tunisia that closely.

The total fertility rate shows a steady rise between 2000 and 2010 and then starts to consistently fall again.
The total fertility rate is stable and stays between 1.5 and 2.
In recent years, the debate over illegal immigration has often been posed as a choice between two competing priorities—increasing border security and enforcement or providing a path to citizenship to immigrants who are in the country illegally.
Latinos are nearly twice as likely as the general public (42% versus 24%) to say the priority should be a path to citizenship for immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.
About as many Latinos as the general public (46% versus 43%) say equal priority should be given to enforcement and legalization.
Just 10% of Latinos say priority should be given to better border security and enforcement, compared with 29% of the general public.
The project has also paid special attention to the online life of key groups ranging from teens to senior citizens and it has done research informing key policy debates, such as those swirling around privacy.
And what will its impact be in the future?
How has the internet changed society?
Technology has transformed our lives around digital networks, as chronicled in research director Lee Rainie’s book, “Networked,” co-authored with professor Barry Wellman in 2012.
Our research on the evolution of digital life for 15 years has tracked skyrocketing adoption rates for broadband, mobile and social media, and studied how the internet has changed our political engagement, civic discussion, dating and social ties, as well as how we manage our health.
Foreign trade also has been a contentious issue throughout the 2016 campaign.
Clinton supporters, by a wide margin (59% to 32%), view free trade agreements positively.
Currently, 45% of voters say free trade agreements have been a good thing for the United States, while about as many (47%) say they have been a bad thing.
The pattern is similar in opinions about the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement (TPP), though larger shares of voters do not offer an opinion about the TPP.
An even larger majority of Trump supporters (68%) view them negatively.
The other 5 million children were born in the U.S., a number that rose from 4.5 million in 2007.
The number of U.S.-born children leveled off in recent years as births to unauthorized immigrants have dipped and an increasing number of children of unauthorized immigrants have aged into adulthood.
In 2016, 5.6 million children younger than 18 were living with unauthorized immigrant parents.5 Of these, 675,000 were unauthorized immigrants themselves, a number that has fallen by half since 2007.
Most unauthorized immigrants live with spouses, partners, their children or other relatives.

The Milwaukee Brewers franchise has experience a period of rapid growth over the last 18 years.
The XUV500 and the MARAZZO might be worth a look also the TUV300 But only a fool would buy a Thar, Zylo, KUV100 or Verito.
These two models are the Scorpio and XUV300 and all others are so far behind as to show little significance to the overall figures.
The chart shows that the Bolero model outsold its rivals by a massive amount and two other models can hold a candle to it.
Overall, from 2010 to 2018, RevPAR has increased.
This decreased over the next 2 years to 2016 before increasing in 2017 and 2018.
A peak in RevAPr of $130 was reached in 2014.
Marriott’s revenue per room between 2010 and 2019 was relatively stable at between 85 and 110, but peaked in 2014 at over 130 US dollars.
RevAPR decreased from 2018 to 2019.
Just over half (54%) say they pay about the right amount in taxes, considering what they get from the federal government, while 40% say they pay more than their fair share.

Only 5% say they pay less than what they should.
Those who fall in the top earnings category are also the biggest consumers of online news sources, with 80% of higher-income internet users (74% of the general population) seeking news on the internet.
Yet, the online news consumption patterns of this more well off group stand in stark contrast to those living in the lowest income households.1, 2, 3
Views of the economy in Russia have soured over the past year, as the fall of oil prices and ongoing economic sanctions imposed by the West have taken their toll.
Still, Russians overwhelmingly support President Vladimir Putin’s handling of relations with foreign powers, such as the U.S. and the EU, as well as his handling of the Russian economy.
Nearly nine-in-ten (88%) Russians have confidence in Putin to handle international affairs, including 66% who have a lot of confidence.
And 62% even praise Putin for his performance on corruption.
Russians praise Putin despite their country’s economic troubles.
Overall confidence in Putin is up 19 percentage points since before the start of the Ukraine conflict.
Americans are also less likely to say they can easily recognize altered videos themselves than say this about the other four types of misinformation the survey asked about.
The public is less likely to say the average American should be able to recognize altered videos than they are to say the same about made-up news and information, unverified breaking information, one-sided factual information, or satire about an issue or event.
Overall, Americans largely say the public should not be expected to know when a video or image has been altered or made up entirely.
Overall, Americans place less responsibility on the public – and less faith in their own abilities – to recognize altered videos than they do with other forms of potentially inaccurate or misleading forms of information.
About six-in-ten U.S. adults (61%) say it is too much to ask of the average American to be able to recognize altered videos and images, while fewer than half (38%) say the public should be able to recognize them.
Fully 84% described political corruption as a big problem in a spring 2013 Pew Research Center survey of China.
Since taking office earlier this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the need to crackdown on corruption, promising to pursue both high-level and low-level officials (“tigers” and “flies”).
Among the 17 issues included on the survey, only inflation (59% very big problem) was rated as a bigger concern.
Among the country’s average citizens, corruption is a growing concern.
More than half (53%) said it was a very big problem, up from 39% five years ago.
