Good Tidings Stats: 9/20/2018

by Kerby Anderson, Contributing Author: One axiom inward the intelligence concern is the reality that good intelligence isn’t actually news. Thousands of airplanes state safely. That is non news. An flat crashes. That’s news.

Because of this nosotros rarely hear practiced intelligence close our world. We for sure hear lots of bad news. This is specially truthful inward an election yr when challengers pigment a dismal moving-picture demo of our footing too thence that y'all volition elect them instead of the incumbents.

After Jim Geraghty wrote a column predicting problem ahead for our nation, he was convicted that he should follow it upwards alongside about positive statistics. Here is a curt listing of practiced intelligence that y'all in all likelihood don’t hear equally good often.


The crime charge per unit of measurement is means down from the 1990s. Drunk driving rates hitting an all-time low a few years ago. Air go is getting safer too cheaper.

The teen pregnancy charge per unit of measurement is steadily declining. The abortion charge per unit of measurement is the lowest since Roe v. Wade was passed inward 1973. And the infant mortality charge per unit of measurement is depression too getting lower.

High schoolhouse graduation rates are the highest ever. Teen drug role (if y'all exclude marijuana) is down dramatically. In the past, I bring talked close this nation’s opioid epidemic. So far, really few teenagers are involved. And it is worth mentioning that teenage binge drinking is lower than it was inward the 1990s.Some practiced intelligence y'all bring heard (at to the lowest degree inward my Viewpoint commentaries) concerns unemployment. As y'all know, unemployment figures for sure minorities are the lowest ever. Perhaps the most amazing fact is that at that topographic point are currently to a greater extent than undertaking openings than unemployed workers. And of late I talked close how the median menage unit of measurement income is the highest ever.

In the midst of about of this practiced news, y'all nevertheless bring skeptics. They state that simply because about of these social statistics are lower doesn’t hateful they aren’t a problem. That is true. As I oftentimes remind my listeners, lower doesn’t hateful zero. We for sure bring to a greater extent than operate to do, but let’s also celebrate about practiced news.
