Let’s be honest: the recession that hit the U.S economy only a few years ago hit us all pretty hard. This truth is especially evident for the generation of young adults who recently graduated from colleges across the country—many of whom left their schools with unimaginable amounts of debt and few jobs available to them to take advantage of.

We’ll also shed light on the barriers that exist that are preventing young adults from purchasing and moving into their first homes. Finally, we’ll provide recommendations on what an individual needs to do in order to get a few steps closer to owning their first home.

Cutting PE out of schools is backfiring in a big way, contributing to our rampant childhood obesity epidemic and actually hindering students from top success in academic classes like science, math, and English.
Children should get about an hour of physical activity per day, something that’s vital to their growing bones, joints, fascia, and muscles. But more and more children are spending less time in PE class and outside playing and more time planted in their seats. This doesn’t just present immediate problems to the kids suffering from being overweight or obese; it poses dangerous long-term problems to their health and the progress of our nation too.
SPARK has been dedicated to being an advocate for PE and the fight against childhood obesity since 1989 by providing PE lesson plans, PE resources for teachers, and even a PE grant finder tool. Our infographic below examines why PE is so important, outlining current stats on PE and childhood obesity and the benefits of keeping PE in school.

Playing golf burns calories, gets you moving, restores balance, builds brain power, and makes you happier overall. Did you know that walking an 18-hole round of golf is roughly the same as a 5-mile walk? And that a 5-mile walk provides the recommended daily number of steps adults should take?
If you want to experience the health benefits of playing golf, ditch the golf cart and caddy, if possible. Walking and carrying your clubs help you burn even more calories and get more physical activity. Walking the course also offers more of an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery—and if you’re golfing on any of JC Golf’s San Diego golf courses, there’s certainly no shortage of beauty around you.

But the growth of our actual technology blurs the line between fiction and reality.

If you own, or carry a gun regularly, it’s important that you know your gun laws and your rights. 44 states have constitutional provision protecting the right to keep and bear arm. However many state laws are different by state and you also need to consider federal gun laws as well. This infographic below reviews those laws. We hope you enjoy it.
Many users of social media are unclear on the rules and regulations that apply to conversation in the online world. There are in fact several laws that cover sites like Facebook and twitter, designed to improve the safety of users and prevent harassment or online abuse.
The general gist of these laws is that anyone sending messages, tweets or posts that are offensive, indecent or cause another party anxiety can be seen as guilty. The punishments for this behaviour include arrest, fines and even imprisonment!
There have been many incidences of cases where the law has come down hard on misusers. One man was jailed for 1 year and 243 days after he harassed his wife through Facebook. Two other men were jailed for 4 years for creating an event on Facebook that encouraged a riot. Check out the infographic to see more about these laws, who has broken them and what the result was.

Which Sectors are proving popular for the recruitment industry?
2013 was a fantastic year for the recruitment industry with increases in turnover and growth for both temporary and permanent markets. However, certain sectors certainly outperformed others! Technical and engineering based positions were the clear areas with the highest demand for workers.
In the permanent market accounting and financial roles came out as nearly 20% of the final volume for the sector. This was closely followed by secretarial and clerical work. 2013 was also a very strong year for IT and computing roles with 68,000 positions being permanently filled. Many recruiting consultants faced problems filling these roles during 2013 thanks to a shortage of candidates with the appropriate skills and experience for the role s on offer.
The occupational sectors coming out on top in the temporary market were also similar. Industrial and blue collar positions held the top spot however with a massive 241,000 placements in the year. The issue of candidates lacking the correct skills was far less present in the temporary industry.
