What began as simple sharing of Facebook statuses and Twitter updates have given way to public Snapchats and Instagram stories in which we broadcast every little detail of our lives for everyone to see, including our current and future bosses.

About the mentioned families, they include two with an American background, two are Bohemian, three German, and the remaining three are Irish, Polish, and Italian respectively.

For instance, while the workers from family #8 and #1 are American and Irish respectively they are both bricklayers; and the #3 Bohemian and #9 Italian individuals work as laborers. Still, a further study of the variables shows that a similarity in employment does not mean one in income. By that logic, ethnicity, occupation, and income played key roles ...

Another thing that a fashion buyer must have is instinct, which I think will only be developed thru experience and over time. And one ...
