China's youth jobless rate reached a record high in April despite a decline in the overall unemployment rate, with some suggesting that this was the result of too many college graduates entering the workforce and competing to find a job. However, this view may underestimate how much the unemployment rate has been affected by the country's large number of young people in the workforce with no better than a high school education.

Bob Hughes cannot be allowed to blame colonisation and Pakeha farming methods for all of the deforestation and damage to Aotearoa. 'When Māori arrived, about 1250-1300 CE, they burned large tracts of forest, mainly on the coasts and eastern sides of the two main islands. By the time European settlement began, around 1840, some 6.7 million hectares of forest had been destroyed and replaced by short grassland, shrub land and fern land.' — https://teara.govt.nz/en/interactive/11674/deforestation-of-new-zealand ALL of the people who have lived in Aotearoa are responsible for where we are today — not just any particular group.

That's about $10 billion more than Newsom predicted in January, when he offered his first budget proposal. The deficit is part of Newsom's overall proposal for a $306 billion budget, by far the largest state budget in the nation. California is one of the only states to have a shortfall this year. That's mostly because its progressive tax code relies on wealthy taxpayers whose income is closely tied to the performance of the stock market. Newsom Proposes Spending Cuts, Using Reserves, Borrowing In January, Newsom proposed a number of ideas to cover the deficit, including about $9.
