40) Summary: Why Being "Banked" Matters

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bf5g@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Simple Dollar

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 23 October

Query:

The FDIC posted findings from their "How America Banks" survey
-- "Nearly 95 percent of U.S. households (approximately 124
million households) were banked (i.e., had a bank or credit
union account). This is the highest number and percentage of
households with bank accounts since the survey was first
conducted in 2009."
https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/household-survey/

Why is it important to be banked? How do the habits of "banked"
people differ from those who aren't? Maybe something like, "top
financial activities the banked household did in 2019."

The survey also said, "roughly one-quarter of households with
less than $15,000 in income were unbanked, and the unbanked rate
among unemployed households was almost four times as high as the
unbanked rate among employed households."

Why are low-income households less likely to be banked and what
are the repercussions of that?

Why are more people banked now than ever? Why is that a good
thing for the economy, etc?

higher ed levels, as well as from analysts and teachers
themselves who can share how they are/aren't being supported and
what would help to alleviate stress during these times.

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 23 October

Query:

Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, 5G and Edge
Computing--Cloud Workloads Shifting to the Edge, Forecast to
2024, finds that edge computing is a foundational technology for
industrial enterprises as it offers shorter latencies, robust
security, responsive data collection, and lower costs. In this
hyper-connected industrial environment, edge computing, with its
solution-agnostic attribute, can be used across various
applications, such as autonomous assets, remote asset
monitoring, data extraction from stranded assets, autonomous
robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart factories. Despite
being in a nascent stage, the multi-access edge computing (MEC)
market--an edge computing commercial offering from operators in
wireless networks--is estimated to grow at an astounding
compound annual growth rate of 157.4%, garnering a revenue of
$7.23 billion by 2024 from $64.1 million in 2019.

How and where does 5G interact with edge computing? For ref:

Did your husband have an affair?

I'm writing a feature about the impact that an affair has on a
marriage. Obviously either side can cheat, but for this
particular story I would like to speak to UK women where her
husband was unfaithful.

Maybe you divorced as a result. Or you worked through it and
came out stronger. Perhaps you had a very different outcome.

Whatever the impact if you are happy to be identified and supply
photos (his face can be blurred out if necessary), please do get
in touch.

You do need to have been married - rather than in a long-term
relationship.

And it does need to be a story that you haven't shared with a
national publication before.

Happy to mention businesses or projects.

Requirements:

publication before
