Where Men Aren’t Working

"There are still places in the United States where nearly all men in their prime working years have a job. In the affluent sections of Manhattan; in the energy belt that extends down from the Dakotas; in the highly educated suburbs of San Francisco, Denver, Minneapolis, Boston and elsewhere, more than 90 percent of men between the ages of 25 and 54 are working in many neighborhoods. The male employment rates in those areas resemble the nationwide male employment rates in the 1950s and 1960s."

Map of NGOs around the world

From The Guardian:

"Over the next couple of months, we’ll be crowdsourcing a map of NGOs working in developing countries. If you’re part of a development organisation, we want your help to fill up our map and tell us about the wonderful work that you do.

Why are we doing this? Firstly, we want to know more about our community. We want to reach out to more organisations to write for us and to join our live Q&As. Long term, we also want this to be a non-comprehensive resource for NGOs - somewhere you can go to look for other groups working in your field when you want to collaborate."

The Wonderground Map
