Baby Boomers Also Jumped From Job to Job
The Atlantic's Daniel Indiviglio has potentially surprising news for twentysomethings bouncing from job to job: Their parents probably did the same thing. Contrary to conventional wisdom, new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics finds that baby boomers held about 11 jobs during the 22 years after college, spending "about 2.4 years at each job." The survey looked at the number of jobs baby boomers held before they were 44—the group included people born between 1957 and 1964—and how long they stuck with them. Like their kids, only 4 percent of boomers who got jobs between the ages of 23 and 28 kept them for longer than 15 years. Researchers also found that the number of jobs people held wasn't affected by their level education, although it was impacted by age: "As careers mature, the boomers stayed at their jobs for longer." With millennials taking a similar attitude toward their professional lives, Indiviglio suggests that today's parents might not have such a hard time relating to their kids.

可以找到近百年的美國年度謀殺率圖Despite Spike in Poverty, Crime Rates Continue To Fall
Violent and property crimes fell for the third straight year in 2009, the FBI announced on Monday, complicating the longstanding belief that poverty and crime are directly connected. Despite a 9.6 unemployment rate and the statistic that "15 percent of Americans [are] now officially poor," crime has dropped, and it's dropped most in areas hardest hit by the housing bubble. Researchers aren't exactly sure why this has been the case, but authorities were quick to attribute it to good police work. "Today's report showing violent crime declined in 2009 is an encouraging sign that our nation continues to make progress in the fight against crime," Attorney General Eric Holder boasted on Monday. The Christian Science Monitor suggests that low inflation rates and government safety nets may also have something to do with it, as well as a general decline in mobility. Conservative critics have embraced the new data as proof that "there's no correlation or a very small correlation between poverty and crime statistics," but not everybody is willing to buy this. Instead, some experts have suggested that with fewer people leaving, communities are simply more attentive to crime.
