In 2021, China had the largest armed forces in the world by active duty military personnel, with about 2.19 active soldiers. India, the United States, North Korea, and Russia rounded out the top five largest armies respectively, each with over one million active military personnel. Difference between active and reserve personnel Active personnel, also known as active duty in the United States and active service in the United Kingdom, are those individuals whose full-time occupation is being part of a military force. Active duty is in contrast to a military’s reserve force, which are individuals who have both a military role and a civilian career. The number of active duty forces in the U.S. is much larger than its reserve membership. What is the strongest army? The strength of a country’s armed forces is not only determined by how many personnel they maintain, but also the number and quality of their military equipment. For example, looking only at personnel does not factor in the overwhelmingly higher number of nuclear warheads owned by Russia and the United States than other countries. One way to answer this question is to look at the total amount of money each country spends on their military, as spending includes both personnel and technology. In terms of countries with the highest military spending the United States leads the world with an annual budget almost three times larger than second-placed China.
Ripple - or XRP - prices surged in 2021, but had not yet reached the heights from late 2017, making this digital coin different from other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum's price, for example, kept on reaching new all-time highs, a feat not performed by XRP. Indeed, XRP's more price spikes followed relatively late - only occurring in early 2021, against late 2020 for most other cryptos - after the US SEC filed a legal complaint against Ripple in November 2020. This legal action caused the XRP price to plummet from around 0.70 U.S. dollars to 0.20 U.S. dollars. Ripple versus XRP: two become one Technically speaking, Ripple is not a cryptocurrency. Renamed from a protocol called OpenCoin in 2013, Ripple facilitates open-source payments. XRP, on the other hand, is the cryptocurrency that runs on this network. In that sense, Ripple and XRP have a similar symbiosis to each other like the Ethereum network and its cryptocurrency Ether. Unlike Ethereum - whose price changes are connected to the world of Decentralized Finance or DeFI - Ripple/XRP mostly looks at developments on cross-border payments for companies. In 2020, companies worldwide began to favor fintech solutions for future B2B solutions and, in a way, Ripple is an extension of that. What affects the price of Ripple? Ripple is mostly active in Southeast Asia - a region with a splintered payment landscape and that heavily investigates its own types of state-issued cryptocurrency to make cross-border payments a lot easier. Price spikes tend to follow after news on this topic in this specific region. In 2019, for example, the XRP price grew after Japan and South Korea began testing to reduce time and costs for transferring international funds between the two countries. In March 2021, Ripple announced that it had agreed to acquire 40 percent of Malaysian cross-border payments firm Tranglo to meet growing demand in Southeast Asia.
Market leader Facebook accounted for nearly 71.8 percent of all social media site visits in the United States in May 2021. Pinterest was ranked second with 12.4 percent of all U.S. social media site visits. Social networking is one of the most popular internet activities in North America, particularly in the United States. A total of 82 percent of internet users in the United States have a social network profile. The number of social network users in the United States is projected to increase from 223 million in 2020 to over 243 million users in 2025. Facebook is, by far, the most popular social media site.
Despite being almost synonymous with the ridesharing industry, Uber’s share of the U.S. market has been declining, falling from 74 percent in September 2017 to 68 percent in April 2021. This loss has been to the benefit of Lyft, whose market share stood at 33 percent in that same month. Ridesharing industry While Uber’s U.S. market share may be declining, the company is still growing strongly in terms of revenue and ridership. There are two reasons for this. First, Uber is a global company, whereas Lyft only operates in the North American market. And secondly, the overall size of the ride sharing market in North America is growing, with 36 percent of U.S. adults using ride sharing services in 2018 compared to 15 percent in 2015. Driver conditions Ridesharing companies have received criticism for classifying drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. This means drivers need to pay for their own operating expenses and may not have access to basic employment rights such as a minimum wage (in districts where one exists). There has also been legal action taken against Uber for underpayment of their drivers and misrepresenting potential earnings. Despite these criticisms, on the whole ridesharing drivers appear to be satisfied. In 2019, over 52 percent Lyft drivers and almost 45 percent of Uber drivers reported being satisfied with their respective ridesharing company.

The unemployment rate of the United Kingdom was 4.7 percent in the three months to April 2021, with the rate in December 2020 being the highest figure since August 2016. Prior to the arrival of the Coronavirus pandemic, the UK was experiencing relatively low unemployment rates, comparable with the mid-1970s. During the provided time period, unemployment was highest in the Spring of 1984 when the unemployment rate hit 11.9 percent, with noticeable peaks also occurring in early 1993 and late 2011. Furlough scheme keeping many employed In order to prevent severe job losses the UK government has paid up to 80 percent of the wages for around 11.2 million jobs through its job retention or furlough scheme. Originally, the scheme was set to end in October 2020, but the arrival of a second Coronavirus wave in Autumn 2020, led to a second lockdown in November, and the extension of the scheme to April 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there were 3.82 million jobs still on the job retention scheme, compared with 8.86 million on May 8, 2020, the day with the highest number of furloughed jobs. Demographics of the unemployed Ever since the UK unemployment rate for men first overtook that of women in late 1980, it has almost always been higher, with a gap of almost three percent recorded in early 1993. During the financial crisis at the end of the last decade, the unemployment rate for women peaked at 7.8 percent, whereas for men the rate was 9.1 percent. Unemployment is also heavily associated with age, and young people in general are far more vulnerable to unemployment than older age age groups. In late 2011, for example, the unemployment rate for those aged between 16 to 24 reached almost 22.5 percent, compared with 8.3 percent for people aged 25 to 34, while older age groups had even lower peaks during this time.
