1. Teacher pay hasn’t been keeping up.
2. Betting on sports occurs across all demographics.
3. “Urban wage premiums for non-college-educated workers disappeared in the mid 2000s as higher rents in big cities ate up higher wages. Today, workers without a college degree face a substantial real wage penalty for moving to a large city, though college grads still get a premium.”
4. Comparing wealth of single men and single women.
5. Missouri took in 12,000 refugees in the last ten years.
6. Shifting to a buyers’ market… Houses finally starting to sell under list price again.
