The study looked at the growth rates of gross state product, or GSP, for all states from 2010-2019 and LGBT population shares in 2012. It found that having a higher LGBT population share was associated with more pronounced economic growth in states across the nation. What we found is the degree of overrepresentation or underrepresentation of the LGBT population was positively correlated with state economic growth, says Jay Bryson, chief economist on the study, referring to how much higher or lower the population share of LGBT people was compared with the national average. There are a host of factors that can contribute to a states economic growth, the report recognizes, including employment growth, unemployment rate, median wage and corporate tax rate. But the study continued to find a positive correlation between higher-than-average LGBT representation and GSP growth even when all else was equal. The study authors were also careful to account for age and educational attainment, because LGBT people are more likely to be younger and more highly educated. What do these findings mean? For Bryson, its a call for more research. States that are interested in lifting their economic growth rates, I think, should take this research as an interesting finding and perhaps try to dig in a little bit more about whats really going on here, he says. According to polling from Gallup, almost 20% of Generation Z respondents reported being a member of the LGBT community in 2022, compared with 11.2% of millennials, 3.3% of Gen Xers, 2.7% of baby boomers and 1.7% of members of the Silent Generation. Experts have noted that this rise across generations is likely partially attributable to awareness and representation. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/2/6/AAaB-xAAEnOK.jpg <cite>ZannoL posted [p:974506350] in Study: &qu...

The gap is just going to keep growing also. We will have Red States where the average education is 6th grade pretty soon. And then they will bitch about not finding jobs because employers want employees that can figure out how to use a doorknob. --- Posted under Ellesarian in a past life. <cite>Sandalorn posted [p:974511500] in Study: &qu...

Try being slightly less totally fucking illiterate. As a leftist Texan, we build our whole identities around being the few people who vocally hate Texas in Texas. To say that a leftie Texan would be more likely to defend the state than a conservative is an illiterate take and as we've already seen, anyone without Anarchy-brain agrees.
