— Even Amid Low Unemployment, Many Workers Struggle Finding A Job – Christian
Weller (DIERSEN: What has frustrated your job searches? Since 1997, the
following things have frustrated my job searches: In 1997, when I was 49 years
old, my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement
“offer.” Previous to that, they gave me unfair performance
expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my
coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13,
got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the
almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,568 (21%)
pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not
have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat,
minority, female, younger person, or veteran.)

The median net worth also changed based on the education level of householders.
For householders with no high school diploma, the study found a median net
worth of $9,800. The study indicated a median value of $43,945 for high school
graduates. Householders with some level of college, but no degree, generated a
median net worth of $49,082. For householders with an associate’s degree, the
median net worth was $56,512. Those who earned a bachelor degree generated a
median value of $147,148. Finally, for householders with a professional or
graduate degree, the median net worth was $240,750. Net Worth by Region The
study also featured regional trends in median American net worth. The regions
studied included the Northeast, Midwest, South and West. The median household
net worth value for those in the Northeast was $91,025, while it was $81,049
for those in the Midwest. For the South, the median value was $60,700. The net
worth value for the West was $59,431.)

subject of one of their a “One Person’s Finances” articles. They
would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or
