9.3 millon workers looking for fulltime work and decline in the labor participation rate reflected the true condition of labor market in the U.S., with wages dropping a penny, in September 2014. The unemployment rate dropped to 5.9% but failed to capture the true condition of the labor market for a number of reasons, including people too discouraged to look for work and people working part time when they would prefer working full time.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
