Women first passed men in bachelor's degrees in us

For the first time, American women have passed men in gaining advanced college degrees as well as bachelor's degrees, part of a trend that is helping redefine who goes off to work and who stays home with the kids.
    Census figures released Tuesday highlight the latest education milestone for women, who began to exceed men in college enrollment in the early 1980s. The findings come amid record shares of women in the workplace and a steady decline in stay-at-home mothers.
 。
  The educational gains for women are giving them greater access to a wider range of jobs, contributing to a shift of traditional gender roles at home and work. Based on one demographer's estimate, the number of stay-at-home dads who are the primary caregivers for their children reached nearly 2 million last year, or one in 15 fathers. The official census tallywas 154,000, based on a narrower definition that excludes those working part-time or looking for jobs.
  
  "The gaps we're seeing in bachelor's and advanced degrees mean that women will be better protected against the next recession," said Mark Perry, an economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint who is a visiting scholarat the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.
    "Men now might be the ones more likely to be staying home, doing the more traditional child rearing," he said.
   Among adults 25 and older, 10.6 million U.S. women have master's degrees or higher, compared to 10.5 million men. Measured by shares, about 10.2 percent of women have advanced degrees compared to 10.9 percent of men — a gap steadily narrowing in recent years. Women still trailmen in professional subcategoriessuch as business, science and engineering.
   When it comes to finishing college, roughly 20.1 million women have bachelor's degrees, compared to nearly 18.7 million men — a gap of more than 1.4 million that has remained steady in recent years. Women first passed men in bachelor's degrees in 1996.
    Some researchers including Perry have dubbedthe current economic slump a "man-cession" because of the huge job losses in the male-dominated construction and manufacturing industries, which require less schooling. Measured by pay, women with full-time jobs now make 78.2 percent of what men earn, up from about 64 percent in 2000.

Jordan Phase 23 Hoops


Jordan Brand has tried mixing up attributes from the Air Jordan 7, Air Jordan 8, and Jordan BCT to make a totally rare-looking shoe that mostly considered being a hybrid, the Jordan Phase 23 Hoops. The brand welcomes the month of May as a truly inspiring time of the year where it takes the opportunity to introduce this set of fresh colorways.
Perforated premium leather is among the brand’s most common constructions but take note that this Jordan Phase 23 Hoops is no ordinary kind since the holes injected on the upper create a stunning design. The Jumpman logo is featured on the tongue and on the mid-foot strap while other significant attribute appears on the rear as a continuous eyelet wing in a splash of colorful graphic. The latter does not specify what the graphic is but it is assumed to be a sort of pattern rather than an even form.
Ready to hit the shelves soon include the colors white/blue, grey/green, and black/black.

There are of course the biggest players like Nike who really don’t need to do much at all to sell sneakers, and then there are the ones like Puma that have to try a little harder.

This one definitely features a colorway that is guaranteed to turn some heads if you are wearing them out. The yellow suede really looks good for the upper of this shoe and the black does a great job of accenting and balancing it out.

man’s attractiveness to the opposite sex

Forget witty chat-up lines and splashing on the aftershave. It appears the secret of a man’s attractiveness to the opposite sex lies in his hands. Men whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers are seen as better bets by women, a study found. By contrast those seen as wimpier sorts will have longer index fingers. It is thought that exposure to high levels of testosterone in the womb has a long-lasting effect on finger-length – and on looks.
The study is the latest in a long line to link the shape of man’s hands with his path in life. British, French and Swiss researchers photographed 49 young men and measured the length of their ring and index fingers. They also recorded their voices and took swabs to capture general odour. They then showed a group of women the photos and asked them to rate the men’s looks. Those whose ring fingers were longer than their index fingers were more likely to win the women’s approval. They were seen as good prospects for both a fling and a long-term relationship.
