ARC's employment estimates are for 2012, and they include jobs-in-place, meaning we locate the jobs at the small-area, which provides more spatial detail and accuracy than other employment products.

Glasgow City Region - Enhancing ProductivityMartin Jack
Executive Summary
From the waterfront in Greenock to the farmlands of Lanarkshire, Glasgow City Region is the largest
metropolitan area in Scotland. Whilst there is still much to do, the Region is beginning to blossom as
it transforms from its industrial past. In doing so, it is benefitting from taking a regional approach to
addressing its challenges and taking advantage of economic opportunities.
Glasgow City Region is:
• Key to the success of the Scottish Economy – it provides 34% of the country’s jobs.
• Growing – it is expected to add another 30,000 jobs from 2017 to 2021. The largest growth rates are seen in the ICT, Engineering, Tourism, and Legal industries.
• Providing Quality Jobs – recent analysis by the Office of National Statistics shows that the region has the second highest proportion of ‘residents in quality work’, just behind the West of England Combined Authority.
• Increasingly Competitive – its productivity levels have grown by 30% in the last decade. It is currently projected to have higher productivity levels than other post -industrial regions in the UK such as Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and West Yorkshire in the next few years.
• Prosperous – the Region’s residents have the highest weekly income amongst the
• UK’s Core Cities.
• Educated – it has the 2nd highest rate of residents (16-64) educated to degree level amongst Core City Regions.

U.S. employment update and outlook: October 2014JLL
Unemployment dips to 5.9 percent in September—its first time below 6.0 percent during the recovery.
The U.S. economy got back on track in September, bouncing back from a sluggish August with 248,000 net new jobs. Growth occurred across sectors and geographies, with office-using industries in particular benefiting from improved corporate confidence leading to permanent hiring.
Total unemployment, which includes discouraged and marginally detached workers, also declined slightly to 11.8 percent, bringing it below the 10-year average.
With numerous other employment metrics all pointing up—including job openings, voluntary quits and CEO confidence—sentiment will only become more optimistic over the coming months.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Employment Change, 2010-2012 (by Sector)
The Admin/Waste Management
Sector, which includes temporary
jobs, added the most employment
between 2010 & 2012, showing that
while employment is improving,
employers are still skittish to hire
full-time, permanent positions. The
Other Services sector also employs
a lot of temporary workers. For
more information about this
phenomenon, read this.
On the plus side, more than 13,000
Professional, Scientific, Technical
jobs were added. These are
generally among the highest-paying
jobs in the region and include legal,
accounting, architectural,
computing, consulting and other
jobs that require high levels of

Fulton County led the region
in overall job growth
between 2010 and 2012,
adding more than 23,500.
Next are Cobb (+20,000) and
Gwinnett (+15,000).
In looking at overall
employment over the four
years between 2008 and
2012, there is good news
and bad news. The good
news is that the 20-county
Atlanta region added some
95,000 jobs between 2010
and 2012. The bad news is
that overall employment in
the 20-county region is still
about 106,000 jobs lower
than what is was in 2008.
Finally, although we didn’t
call this out specifically, the
region lost more than
200,000 jobs between 2008-
2010, one of the worst
stretches in the region’s
history.
8. Employment: A Quick National Perspective
To provide a national
perspective, we included this
chart from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics that shows
that metro Atlanta (28-county
area) ranks fourth among the
12 largest metros in year-
over-year percent change in
employment between May,
2012 and May, 2013.
Please note that ARC’s
employment estimates are
different. We use a different
methodology to count jobs;
our estimates cover a
different geographic scale as
well as a different time
period. (This looks at change
since 2012, our estimates
stop at 2012). But as this
chart shows, the overall
employment picture in metro
Atlanta is looking up.
9. Total Jobs, 2012: Where are Jobs Distributed In the Region?
The largest concentration
of jobs, shown in dark
blue on the map, are
found in the northern
parts of the region. As
subsequent slides will
show, these are also the
areas that added the
most jobs because, in
general, jobs of all types
tend to cluster near one
another. Retail jobs, for
example, are located
near office jobs.
10. Total Jobs, 2012: Areas with 100,000+ Jobs
There were four areas (ARC
Superdistricts – see below) in
the 20-county region with
more than 100,000 jobs in
2012: Central Business District,
Central Gwinnett, North Fulton
and Cumberland. This
distribution shows how
employment has become
much more decentralized in
this region, as three of the
four largest employment
concentrations are found
outside of the I-285 perimeter.
The maps are displaying job
totals by ARC Superdistrict,
which are drawn to mirror
“market” areas wherever
possible. Overall, there are 78
Superdistricts in the region.
11. Total Job Change, 2008 - 2012: Which Areas Gained The Most Jobs?
The areas that added
the most jobs between
2008 and 2012 (in the
dark blues) are
scattered throughout
the region, ranging from
the Airport down south
up to the Cumming
Superdistrict in the
north. Remember this is
from 2008 to 2012, a
period when the region
lost more than 106,000
jobs overall.
12. Total Job Change, 2008 - 2012: Areas That Gained At Least
1,000 Jobs
There were nine areas
(Superdistricts highlighted on
the map) in the 20-county
region that added more than
1,000 jobs between 2008 and
2012. They are (in order): NW
DeKalb, Marietta, N Gwinnett,
N Fulton, Airport, Buckhead,
SW DeKalb, Cumming, and S
Barrow.
This distribution illustrates the
trend of further
decentralization of jobs away
from the core, although
several areas near the core did
well during the period.
13. Total Job Change, 2010 - 2012: Which Areas Gained The Most Jobs?
This looks at change
between 2010 and 2012,
which is a truer measure of
recovery from the Great
Recession. Here you see
the areas that added the
most jobs (in the dark
blues) are concentrated in
the northern parts of the
region (as well as the
Airport). As can be seen,
some areas (mostly those
that are already “job rich”)
did better than others.
14. Total Job Change, 2010 - 2012: Areas That Gained At Least
5,000 Jobs
Remember, we are now
looking at the period between
2010 and 2012, when the 20-
county region added 95,000
jobs. And, since jobs tend to
attract other jobs (the
clustering effect), the areas
that were already job-rich
were the areas that added the
most new jobs between 2010
and 2012. There were seven
areas (Superdistricts
highlighted on the map) in the
20-county region that added
more than 5,000 jobs between
2010 and 2012. They are (in
order): N Fulton, NW DeKalb,
Buckhead, N Gwinnett, Central
Gwinnett, Marietta and
Cumberland.
15. Information Jobs, 2012: A Look At Where These Jobs Cluster
Jobs in the Information
Sector are among the
