The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014).

USA Wages

The wage inequalities in the U.S. are occasioned by weak wage structures and policies (Gordon, 2016). The inequalities are partially attributable to overpaid C.E.O and managers and underpaid workers. Moreover, the share of the national income that is set aside to cater for wages has been decreasing gradually over the years (Gordon, 2016). Job insecurity and lower wages were common during the Great Depression; however, political responses to the depression and challenges brought about by the World War II led to improvements in the employees’ bargaining power.

To this end, they have many religious holy sites, for example, that are sacred to both faiths due to the territorial ...

Preamble

Addressing the trade balance’s nature, it seems worthwhile noting that its indicator reflects the difference between the state’s exports and imports. Talking more scientifically, it is a pecuniary ratio amid the amount of money received for goods and services exported outward a country and the cash paid for imported goods and services. If exports’ money exceeds the currency accepted as exchange for the imported articles, the circumstance stands for external surplus.
