With enough courage, you can do w/out a reputation

I'm Jessica. I went to Clemson University, and it was a good time. I lived in Israel from August 2009 to May 2010 working on an M.A. in Israeli Society and Politics. I'm in law school for the fall so I guess that's next but for the summer, I'm working in congress which I am actually really enjoying.

I don't care about the environment, Africa, or any p.c. social cause. My favorite book of the moment is Atlas Shrugged, but of all time is Gone With the Wind.

I have a moral opposition to organic food and recycling.

I blog and re-blog things that I like, or want to have for reference. I realize this consists of a strange combination of images, articles, quotes, etc., and will not garner me many followers, but I made this blog for me, not the WWW. I might spam the dash with sappy stuff, fashion (because I'm a girl), politics, Israel, economics, or any combination of the five.

Jess Armentrout is a proud support of Israel and its allies

There Is No Male-Female Wage Gap ↘

In a 2010 study of single, childless urban workers between the ages of 22 and 30, the research firm Reach Advisors found that women earned an average of 8% more than their male counterparts.

Men have been hit harder by this recession because they tend to work in fields like construction, manufacturing and trucking, which are disproportionately affected by bad economic conditions. Women cluster in more insulated occupations, such as teaching, health care and service industries.

Yet if you can accept that the job choices of men and women lead to different unemployment rates, then you shouldn’t be surprised by other differences—like differences in average pay.
