TAKE 5 AMERICANS have been found to prefer living in the suburbs over urban areas, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. About one in five adults want to live in a city, down from about a quarter in 2018. The share of Americans who would like to live in the suburbs has increased from 42 percent to 46 percent during this time, while preference for rural areas remains unchanged. MORE than four in 10 urban residents (45 percent) say the pandemic’s impact on the economy is a major problem in their community, and 37 percent say the same about the health impact of Covid-19. By comparison, 31 percent of those in the suburbs and 33 percent of rural dwellers say the economic impact is a major problem in their local area, and about a quarter each say the health impact is a major issue. ROBERT Half ’s Job Optimism Survey found that 41 percent of workers will plan to look for a new job in the next six months, whether for a salary boost, better benefits or the ability to permanently work remotely. Of those workers, 52 percent are between the ages of 18 and 24. IN that same survey, it was shown that 54 percent of professionals are interested in fully remote positions at companies in other states or cities. When organizations are looking to hire more personnel, offering flexible work-from-home options will help broaden the candidate pool. PRINT books remain the most popular format for reading, with 65 percent of adults saying that they have read a print book in the past year, based on a Pew Research Center survey conducted earlier last year. Some 33 percent of Americans read both digital and print books, while 32 percent say they read only print books. Nine percent say they have only read digital books in the past year. |
