Answer to Question 1

In the 1950s almost half of all American jobs were in industry and manufacturing; today only 20 percent are. These jobs provided good wages, benefits, and job stability for working Americans. Deindustrialization refers to the steady decline the United States has seen in industrial and manufacturing jobs since the 1950s. This decline has important implications, including the trend of replacing good jobs with bad jobs in the U.S. economy. There are few jobs that offer good wages, stability, and benefits available to Americans without a college education. The jobs that are available require specific training and/or some kind of higher education as a prerequisite to employment. Those without a college education have fewer job opportunities and have seen a decrease in their wages as a result of deindustrialization . The so-called college wage premium contributes to inequality in the job market and, in turn, in social life.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
