AP corrects
strong hiring story
In a story on page 3E of Sunday鈥檚 Work and Wheels section about strong hiring drawing more people into the workforce, The Associated Press erroneously reported that TEKsystems is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its headquarters is in Hanover, Maryland.
The AP also erroneously reported that half of men outside the workforce in 2013 cited disability or illness and that that figure is now 10 percent. In fact, disability or illness accounted for half the decline in men in the workforce from the start of the Great Recession in late 2007 until 2013 and now accounts for only 10 percent of the decline.
The AP also erroneously reported that one-third of men outside the workforce are in school. In fact, men in school account for one-third of the decline of men in the workforce.
And the AP reported that one-quarter of men outside the workforce are taking care of family members. In fact, this group accounts for one-quarter of the decline in men working since the recession.
