Small trend


Finally people who work too far away are still a group with a lot of time at their disposal Some tape sales companies claim that you only need to listen to their Spanish teaching tapes for 16 hours to build enough foundation to learn Spanish from scratch In any case people who are too far away from work can learn to speak a few words of Spanish in a week by listening to this tape in the car without giving up other activities And in two or three months they may become interpreters for the Federation if they can't keep their current jobs People who are too far away from work can also listen to books on tape When they're commuting they're like speed readers They can listen to "war and peace" in 12 days and "The Da Vinci Code" in five Lyndon Johnson said he was waging a war on poverty and embarking on massive urban renewal because he predicted that 95% of Americans wanted to live in cities But in fact people have turned the countryside into suburbs and exurbs faster than anyone predicted (This just goes Home & Garden to show how hard it is to predict what the US will be like 50 years from now — as you focus on a few big trends other smaller ones will join in and disrupt your expectations) Employers who have moved to the suburbs are indeed closer to some of their workplaces But for a large number of other workers the only result of their employer's move is to encourage them to move farther away — and for many it shows that the most important thing is a house a yard and a quieter life no matter what the cost in money or time The bottom line is that more and more Americans are on their way — but not many are looking for themselves like Jack Kerouac More likely they are looking for a cup of coffee and a packed Danish shortcake hoping that today's traffic jam will be tolerable and that they know they will have to go this way tomorrow International Pictures When the European economic community (EEC) was set up in 1957 its task was to break down trade barriers and ensure that all Europeans could travel freely within member States Jean Monnet the founder of the European Economic Community had no idea that this kind of "free travel" would come to Europeans today who commute too far even by jet Within Europe Britons can claim the prize for taking the longest time to work on average-45 minutes a full 20 minutes longer than the average American The average commute to work in the European Union (the successor to the European Economic Community) is 38 minutes compared with 23 minutes in Italy and 44 minutes in Germany But the interesting story involves not only the monotonous commuting time but also the mileage that a lot of office workers voluntarily travel China Suppliers Fully half the passengers on the cross-sea express train Eurostar which travels more than 200 miles between France and Britain are commuters — mainly people who live in France and work in London (In 2007 for the first time a French presidential candidate held a rally outside France — in an attempt to reach the nearly 500000 French citizens living or working in London) Even more dramatic are those who commute by air rather than by car or train A European travel agency predicts that by 2016 15 million people will work in Britain but live in other countries not only in northern France but also in Barcelona Parma Dobronik and Verona Low-priced routes will make this possible In 1994 there were zero low-cost airlines; in 2005 there were 60 Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair easyjet and skyeurope carried about 200 million passengers in 2003 alone
While air commuting is growing rapidly in Europe it is also in its early stages in Asia Airlines such as jetstar oasis and airasiax are discounting their tickets at low prices but they still have to compete with airlines that are largely controlled by the state However you can expect Asians to catch on to this trend as soon as possible Chinese people already drive an hour or more to work on average-compared with that flying back Health & Medical and forth in the sky twice a day is a big deal! Race and religion The woman who broke the stained glass ceiling There is a final trend for working women Women may be used to their dominance in language-based American professions such as journalism public relations and law But when it comes to language-related careers women's preeminence becomes more complicated The number of female clergy in the United States has more than tripled in the past 20 years More than 51% of women attend the seminary The number of women studying religion or theology has more than doubled in the past 10 years compared with less than half among men We are seeing more and more women joining the Ministry prompted by a new set of criteria for personal choice of profession so that a new community of priests is growing rapidly On the one hand they are studying in the seminary on the other hand they are still looking for their own fixed place in the religious life of the United States trade-global.com
