A real life hero who influence millions of lives

If you want to make a real difference in this world....don't become an environmentalist or a politician. Become an agriculturalist like Norman Borlaug.

The Man Who Defused the 'Population Bomb' -- One of America's greatest heroes remains little known in his home country.

How Bad is the Economy Really?

Here is a snippet from this interesting article:

Employment
The indicator that has been garnering a lot of attention recently is the national jobs count. The 3.57 million jobs that have been lost since the recession started in December 2007 are a significant number. However, at 2.6% of the total jobs in the U.S., these losses are not as large as have been seen in previous recessions. Figure 1 compares job losses in each recession since 1945.

*Jobs in these recessions hit their low point after the recession was official declared over. For most, this low point was within a few months. The 2001 recession is the exception--jobs did not reach the trough until August 2003, when total nonfarm jobs reached a low of 129,882,000.

As the chart shows, the current recession is now one of the longest since 1945—exceeded only by the downturns of 1973 and 1981. The current jobs losses are not nearly as severe as those experienced during five previous recessions, when measured as a percent of total jobs.
