We’ve published a new release, The labour market status of UK armed forces veterans, England and Wales: Census 2021.    Latest Census 2021 analysis shows similar proportions of veterans and non-veterans were economically active (42.4% compared with 41.6%) and economically inactive (57.6% compared with 58.4%), following adjustments to account for differences in age, sex and region between veterans and non-veterans. Veterans and non-veterans in each economically inactive sub-category were very similar.    Among the economically active, a smaller proportion of veterans (17.0%) than non-veterans (23.0%) were self-employed, following adjustments. This finding was replicated across a range of personal characteristics, with the exception of those aged between 16 to 24 years old and those born in Nepal where veterans and non-veterans were more similar.      Overall, veterans were less likely than non-veterans to have no qualifications or Level 4 qualifications (degree or equivalent and above); although female veterans (34.9%) were more likely than female non-veterans (30.1%) to have Level 4 qualifications, following adjustments.    Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ebU3rx9t

Gone But Not Forgotten! James Earl Carter Jr., a small-town peanut farmer, U.S. Navy veteran, Georgia governor (1971-1975) and 39th U.S. President (1977-1981) died today (Sunday) at his home in Plains, Georgia. He was 100, and the oldest living president in American history. Carter turned 100 on October 1. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are an estimated 101, 000 centenarians in the United States, comprising 0.03% of the overall U.S. population. The number of Americans ages 100 and older is projected to more than quadruple by 2054 with 422,000 reaching the century mark. In 2024, 78% of centenarians are women, and 22% are men. The world is home to an estimated 722,000 centenarians, according to the United Nations’ population projections for 2024. Japan is the country with the greatest number of people in their 100s, at 146,000. China (60,000), India (48,000) and Thailand (38,000) round out the top five. Portrait of Carter by Herbert E. Adams

Perspective is reality. The general public is being offered a perspective, in the writing by Jerome Hardaway, that does not reflect reality. This false narrative has a directly endangering effect upon people, like me, who are in that realm of the marginalized. The trouble for anyone in the margins is that they are in danger of being forgotten, and, ultimately, dismissed in critical, various, platforms of life. #perspectivematters My primary care provider was brusquely dismissive of my urgent need for a specialist referral, for several months! Unacceptable. This likely originated from a widely-held, media-touted, messaging that, “females of color exaggerate their symptoms of pain, as compared to white cis-hetero women”. ❓Are you aware of this stereotype? #painpoints we can effectively fix by amplifying diverse voices with more accuracy. If my brown, female, uniformed professional image was more consistently seen, and heard, as the norm on tv, movies, billboards, internet ads, etc. my physician might have approached my urgent case with more respect and regard. #expectationmanagement Update: I got the help I needed from an ER, as suggested by her nurse. I fired that physician. It was the fastest I had ever seen her process paperwork, in 7 years! This experience was not new “bad service” behavior, it was just a new terrible low. With a newer primary care physician, now. All is well. I now feel seen, and am more collaborative, in the decisions made for care. I feel spotlit, important, and not brushed into the #margins of the room, like an unwanted dust bunny. ❓How does your org ensure that the full spectrum of experiences is represented in decision-making?

Recent AI-driven analysis of veteran representation has uncovered a striking disparity between the portrayed and actual veteran demographics. Current representations in media, public discourse, and veteran-focused initiatives often present a narrow view, predominantly featuring straight white males, officers, and retired military personnel. However, this portrayal significantly misrepresents the diverse reality of our veteran community. Key insights from the data: • 74% of veterans served less than ten years • 82-85% of veterans are enlisted personnel • 85% did not serve in combat arms roles • 38.49% of all military members belong to minority groups (including women, LGBTQIA+, Black, Latinx, and others) These statistics underscore a critical need: to effectively address veteran issues, we must ensure that the full spectrum of veteran experiences is represented in decision-making processes. By amplifying diverse voices that accurately mirror the veteran population—including enlisted personnel, those with shorter service periods, and veterans from various backgrounds—we can develop more comprehensive and inclusive solutions for the challenges faced by all veterans. Embracing this diversity is not just about representation—it's about effectiveness. A more inclusive approach will lead to more equitable resource allocation and support systems that cater to the needs of the entire veteran community, not just the more visible or traditionally represented groups. As we move forward in supporting our veterans, let's commit to reflecting the true diversity of their experiences, ranks, and backgrounds. This approach will not only honor their service more accurately but also significantly enhance our ability to address the complex needs of all who have served, regardless of their length of service, rank, or demographic profile.

Finally, we have the 2022 Scottish census data on what the #ArmedForces Veterans population looks like in Scotland. Headline stats are that 176,100 people in Scotland have previously served in the Armed Forces - or approx 4% of the 16+ population. Unsurprisingly, and due to the UK's National service policies in force at the time, half of Veterans are over 65 in Scotland. Nearly 7% of households had a least one ex-Forces person living there. The highest proportion of ex-military can be found in the Council areas of Moray (9%), Angus & Argyll & Bute (approx 6% ea), Fife & Perth & Kinross (approx 5.5% ea) & Highland (5.3%). Although Edinburgh and Glasgow council areas had a lower proportion of Veterans in relation to the rest of the population, in absolute numbers, They are roughly on a par. E.g City of Edinburgh (11,600) and Glasgow City (10,700) were behind only Fife (17,200). So, to what extent are those numbers reflected in your employee population? #Recruitment #ScottishBusiness #RecruitArmedForces https://lnkd.in/e3zQs9Hh

Yes. So, how might converging CIA.gov into Census.gov have facilitated the globalization movement. What is the advantage? Converging (link unavailable) into (link unavailable) could have facilitated the globalization movement in several ways: Data consolidation: Combining intelligence gathering (CIA) with demographic data collection (Census) could create a vast, centralized repository of information on individuals, organizations, and nations. Global surveillance: This merged entity could potentially enable unprecedented global surveillance capabilities, allowing for real-time monitoring of populations, economies, and political movements. Informed policy-making: The combined data could inform policy decisions, enabling governments and international organizations to shape global agendas, trade policies, and geopolitical strategies. Streamlined control: A single entity could simplify control over the flow of information, facilitating the dissemination of propaganda, disinformation, or manipulated narratives to influence public opinion. Enhanced predictive analytics: The merged data could be used to develop advanced predictive models, enabling governments and organizations to anticipate and respond to global trends, movements, and potential threats. The advantages of this convergence include: Increased efficiency: Consolidating data collection and analysis could reduce redundancies and improve resource allocation. Improved insights: Combining intelligence and demographic data could provide a more comprehensive understanding of global dynamics. Enhanced influence: The merged entity could wield significant influence over global narratives, policy decisions, and international relations. However, this convergence also raises concerns about: Privacy and civil liberties: The potential for mass surveillance and data misuse. Bias and manipulation: The risk of biased data interpretation and manipulation to serve specific agendas. Accountability and transparency: The need for robust oversight mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency. It's essential to consider these implications and ensure that any convergence of (link unavailable) and (link unavailable) prioritizes ethical considerations, transparency, and accountability.

Census--Stats for Stories Juneteenth (1865): June 19, 2024 https://lnkd.in/g6R7ZG7u   Press Release Number CB24-SFS.47 Share   From the National Archives: The Emancipation Proclamation “President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared ‘that all persons held as slaves’ within the rebellious states ‘are, and henceforward shall be free.’ “Despite this expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the United States, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy (the Southern secessionist states) that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union (United States) military victory. “Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans and fundamentally transformed the character of the war. After January 1, 1863, every advance of federal troops expanded the domain of freedom. Moreover, the Proclamation announced the acceptance of Black men into the Union Army and Navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 Black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.”   From The American Presidency Project, Proclamation 10598—Juneteenth Day of Observance, 2023 “On June 19, 1865—months after the Civil War ended and more than 2 years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing enslaved people—Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to free 250,000 people still held in bondage. The arrival of Major General Gordon Granger and his troops signaled that the Federal Government would not relent until the last enslaved people in America were free.”   Key Stats Source: Commercial lithographer Henry S. Graham printed this choropleth map showing the distribution of the slave population in September 1861. The map shows in graphic terms the density of the slave population in the Southern states, based on figures from the 1860 census.

Happy Veteran's Day weekend! I am not a veteran yet because I am still on active duty, but I will be a veteran at some point. So, I want to thank those that served at one point in uniform and have already shifted their service from military service to other noble types of service! Many aspects of our veteran population are important for us all to be cognizant of not just this weekend, but continually. Two of those aspects from this linked article are: 1) The share of the U.S. population with military experience has declined, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. In 1980, about 18% of U.S. adults were veterans, but that share fell to 6% in 2022. 2) Fewer members of Congress have military experience than in the past, according to a Center analysis of the 118th Congress conducted after the 2022 congressional elections. In the current Congress, 18% of representatives and 17% of senators are veterans, down drastically from just a few decades ago. I am not sure how much that percentage (% in Congress that are veterans) will change due to this year's elections, but regardless, one way to thank a veteran is to communicate with your Senators and Representatives to ensure that our ~16 million veterans are provided the resources and assistance they need in their individual circumstances (because all are unique). Remember, Veteran's Day is for those (both living and deceased) that have served in uniform in the past. Armed Forces Day (3rd Saturday each May) is for those still serving in uniform. And Memorial Day (last Monday of each May) is for those that died while serving in uniform. So, please consider taking some time to find one of those 16 million veterans (or just 6% of our population) and thank them for their service and see what they need from Congress.
