According to a new report, 47 percent of Detroiters are ”functionally illiterate.” The alarming new statistics were released by the Detroit Regional Workforce Fund on Wednesday.
Exactly what this means:
“Not able to fill out basic forms, for getting a job — those types of basic everyday (things). Reading a prescription; what’s on the bottle, how many you should take… just your basic everyday tasks,”
Some of the Detroit suburbs also have high numbers of functionally illiterate: 34 percent in Pontiac and 24 percent in Southfield.
“For other major urban areas, slightly higher: Washington D.C.’s urban population, in certain ZIP codes in Washington D.C. and in Cleveland,” she said.
Only 10 percent of those who can’t read have gotten any help to resolve it.
Make Undercover Smart a book to someone your next gift.
Give them Undercover Smart because there is no where we can ever hope to go or ever hope to acheaive whereas we can bypass reading to get there. http://store.mubarakinter-prizes.com/undercs.html
