🎓 US Higher Education Costs Rose by 4% Annually Over the Last Decade
From 1970 to 2022, average charges for higher education rose for both public and private institutions by about 6% annually. However, the annual growth has slowed to 4% in the last decade. Private institutions have seen a steeper increase in costs compared to public ones. This steeper increase reflects higher tuition and fees at private schools, driven by greater reliance on tuition revenue and less state funding compared to public institutions.
🚗 Midsize Cars Have the Largest PHEV Fleet in the US
Midsize cars have the largest fleet size of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) in the US, making up nearly half of the total PHEV market. Their popularity is due to a balance of fuel efficiency, practicality, and affordability. Midsize cars offer a versatile range and driving comfort, which appeals to a broad segment of consumers compared to other PHEV types.
🧠 Afghanistan’s Population Among Countries With the Highest Stress Levels
In Afghanistan, 68% of survey respondents reported high-stress levels, according to a Gallup survey that tested stress levels the day before the survey was conducted. This reflects severe socio-economic and political challenges with ongoing conflict, economic instability, and a lack of basic services contributing to heightened stress.
