Bureau of Labor Statistics

(US GOVERNMENT) bureau within the federal government of the United States; part of the Department of Labor. Measures unemployment, hours worked, hourly wages, inflation, productivity, and so on.

The Department of Labor was created as a result of the NLRA (1935), which gave workers the right to organize.

Yesterday the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) published its monthly report of hours worked. This revealed that, while employees are working more hours, unemployment has not declined and wages continue to decline.

a static lullaby

five suburban teens who desperately want to get famous by jumping in the emotional hardcore bandwagon and bringin in the newbie rock n' roll fans through means of hot topic. when a friend told me their influences were at the drive in, i got sick to my stomach. this chick up top actually likes the used - soLLLid fan base, static! you should play with yellowcard or something and bring in more "rock" fans

punkfortheages should be more mature and diss a static lullaby's STUPID NAIVE FANBASE instead of the band themselves.

AP Statistics

A laughably easy class, most who take it are those too afraid to take calc so yeah, 90% of the class are math-impaired idiots. The purpose of stats is to be a joke class like apes. The tests are taken directly from the internet so enter in a few key words the night before and you already have the answer key. A very large majority of the class cheats on the tests which may be the reason for the incredibly high averages aside from its "difficulty". And plus, there's no homework. The only drawback is that the class does almost no preparation for the AP exam in May so unless you actually treat the class like a real one (which is totally unnecessary for the class itself) you're basically screwed.

Typical AP Statistics conversations:
Student A: OMG that test was so hard! How did you get a perfect score on it?
Student B: It's online...I typed in "chi-squared regression test" on google last night and I found the answer key..."
Student A: sh*t

Student C: I'm wondering if I should take stats instead of calc. How was the class? How did you do on it?
Student D: I got A's both semesters but I got a 2 on the exam...

staticursion

Going nowhere. Staying in place.

A variant on the words excursion, incursion, recursion, discursion.

Putting on neither coat, nor hat, nor boots, grabbing neither his car keys nor his bag, he prepared for another staticursion, staying where he was, where he had been, and where he would be for the foreseeable future - home.
