What I saw mirrored what 1 saw in the in- dustry: Lots of boys, very few girls and not very many people of color at all; Bryant says. Kai attended a summer program at Stanford Univer- sity that teaches kids how to code. She was the only African American and one of just a f girls enrolled. Bryant did not want her daughter to feel isola- ted as she had in her electrical engineering studies. So she created a camp of her own. In 2011, Bryant laun- ched Black Girls Code, which introduces girls of color to computer science with the goal of building a new generation of coders. It has introduced re than 4,000 girls in nine cities to computer ne. By 2040, Bryant wants to reach 1 million girls whom she calls 'tech divas.' Young women in the pro- gram 'find their voice," she says. 'We are creating a po- werful community of women skilled and confident about what they can create in the workplace.' Her students heading to Dartmouth, Princeton and Spelman to study computer science will change the face of technology,' she says. Laura Weidman. Powers Co-founder and CEO ofCODE2040 Determined ;t to make Si- licon Valley representative of America one engine- er at a time, Weidman Powers named her organization after the yea of America'spojected shift to African Americans and Lati- nos up 42 percent of the population. This Harvard and Stanford MBA grad's ambition is to take on inequality of opportunity in the tech industry and close the wealth and achievement gap in the U.S. for African Americans and Latinos by 2040. 'Not to be overly dramatic, but it's the future of America,' Weidman Powers says. Black, Latino and Lati- na students earn nearly 20 percent of computer science degrees yet make up 9 percent of the tech industry and less than 1 percent of tech compa- ny founders, she says. CODE2040 places software engineering students of color in internships with m jor tech comp and start- ups such as Apple and Intel. Eighty-three fellows have gone through the program and Code2040 plans to double that with the class of 2016. It has also reached more than 1,000 students through Technical Applicant Prep, which pre- pares Black and Latino stu- dents to land and succeed in internships and full-time jobs at top tech companies. That work was recognized in December when the John S. and James L. Knight Founda- tion gave CODE2040 a $1.2 million grant to expand its programs. Michael Seibel Partner mite YCambinator Seibel has the kind of entrepreneuri- al chops that and respect in Silicon Valley He was an early executive with Justin. tv, the video streaming service which later became Twitch Interactive and sold to Ama- m for $970 million. He s also CEO of Socialcam, a social video sharing app that spun out of Justin.ty and sold to Autodesk for $60 million when it was just 18 months old and had four employees. Like Justin.ty, Socialcam was a graduate of Y Combi- nator, the most famous and influential incubator in Silicon Valley where Seibel is now a partner. Part of his job is reaching out to Blacks and Latinos who are underrepresented in Silicon Valley and in Y Combi- nator. Seibel started YC Open Of- fice Hours to give people of all backgrounds direct access to Y Co bin or partners. In just one week, more than 600 com- panies applied, 60 of them got in person or Skype meetings with partners. Y Combinator is now planning to expand the Program. He's also working on a pro- ject called YC Startup College, which offers tech start-up curriculum to colleges in gene - al and specifically to histo- rically Black universities and colleges. It is currently being piloted at Howard University and Morgan State University. The efforts are slowly paying off: 19 percent of the compa- nies in the last Y Combinator batch had either a Black or a Latino founder on their foun- ding team. 'Startups are often best at solving the personal problems of their founders. The more diverse the founders, the more types of problems can be solved — and the more people who will be positively impacted by technology; Seibel says. Angela Benton Founder and CEO of NewME Accelerator Benton star- ted Black Web 2.0, an online publication for African Americans in technology and new media, in 2007 when few others were focused on the underrepremino- rities in Silicon Valley. Through Black Web 2.0, she met tech entrepreneur and di- versity activist Wayne Sutton with whom Benton launched the NewME accelerator in 2011 while running her own start-up, an app called Cued Labs that gave recommenda- tions based on where you are. At launch, NewMe had seven minority -led start-ups from around the country living in a rented house in Mountain View, Calif., and was featured in the CNN documentary: Black in America The New Promised Land, Silicon Valley. 'It felt like we were at the start of something big,' Ben- ton says. Tech leaders came out of NewMe such as Tiff i Ashley Bell. Bell, a leading advocate for inclusion in tech, later went on to co-found the De- troit Water Project which took part in Y Combinator. The Detroit Water Project is an online service that matches donors with households at risk of having their water shut off and has helped more than 900 families in Detroit and Baltimore. Today NewME, which helps Black tech entrepreneurs turn ideas into businesses, has helped nurture a portfo- lio of 39 companies that have raised $21.4 million. NewME also offers online services to train thousands of entrepre- neurs around the globe. Hiring, quits hit 9-year highs in Dec. Shipping rates increasing By Paul Davidson Ti.r. number of Americans hired and the total glutting jobs both surged to nine- year highs in December, reflecting a more dynamic labor market that's starting to pushup wages Job openings also jumped from 5.3 million to 5.6 mil- lion, the highest level since July,. the Bureau of Labor Statists. said Tuesday in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.. Through most of the jobs recovery, openings have outpaced hiring and quits. In December, however, the number of hires climbed from 5.3 million to 5.4 milli- on_ That's the higher since November 2006. The job growth totals reported by Job openings hit record levels last year. The Labor De- partment released its Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey for December on Tuesday. the Labor Department each month have been strong, but they reflect net gams after factoring in new him and layoffs The strong rise in hires shows that emplo- yer demand has strengthe- ned. Hiring picked up in professional and business services) leisure and hos- pitality; and trade, trans- portation and utilities. It slowed inconstruction; edu- cation and health services; and manufacturing. Meanwhile, the number of people quitting jobs in December jumped from 2.9 million to 3.1 million, high- est since December 2006. A larger number of Americans switching jobs indicates a more vibrant labor market in which workers are confi- dent enough to leave one job for another. The economy added a net 262,000 jobs in December, undly beating estimates and capping blockbuster average monthly gains of 279,000 in the fourth quarter, according to a revised estimate released by BLS last week Job growth sputtered in January, with employers adding just 151,000 jobs, though econo- mists said a slowdown was expected after the outsized gains late last year.

The ram increase will be good news for UPS, because the post office's pricing 'in some parcel areaeats into UPS and others margins,' he said. The real news is that the post office seems to be closing the gap bet- ween rate it charges mallet customers and the rate it gives customers who ship in volu- me, which the postal service calls Commercial Base Pricing and Commercial Plus Pricing respec- tively. STREEBIN 'For a long time, most anyo- ne that wanted it could get Com- mercial Plus Pricing (volume dis- counts). Now, they're dosing that gap; said Streebin. This could help the USPS capture some of the margins that previously had gone to customers who were shipping relatively low volumes but still getting volume discounts, he said. The number of pa- ckages USPS' Priori Mail service ships has been steadily increasing. In 2013 it was 924 milli- on, in 2014, 934 million and in 2015 it reached 1 billion packages shipped, Betts of USPS said. Priority Mail revenue have also been rising. For 2013 they were $7.0 billion, for 2014 $7.2 billion and for 2015, $7.7 billion, he said.

This $35 back -end fee for a ty- pical transaction can translate into ain- terest rate of 17,000 percent, according to the CFPB. About 18 percent of account holders pay the vast majority (91 percent) of all overdraft fees triggered by de- bit cards, checks and automated clearing- house (ACH) electronic transactions. These 37 million customers paid more than three overdraftar fees a ye. The study found that overdraft fees cause some consumers to leave the banking sys- tem.

Notably the most heavy overdrafters are millennials (35 per- cent) or Generation Xers (33 percent); more than half are renters rather than homeow- they generally have below -average incomes relative to the U.S. population; and overdraft fees con- sumed nearly a dull week's worth of their household incomes on average during the past year.

This is the case with payday loans. George Burgess, a biolo- gist at the Florida Museum f Natural History who in- vestigates shark attacks, wrote a blog post providing tuber of tips to decrease your chance of becoming y victim of a shark attack while in the water. I've ad- opted them to fit this payday loan debate. • Ahvays swim in a group. Sharks alien tack lone individuals, Burgess wrote. So we should be ap- plauding the CFPB for its ef- forts to protect a large swath of people who may not even know they are in danger.. • Avoid the water at dawn, dusk or night.

But a typical loan payment take` 36 percent of a e bor- rower's paycheck, accord- ing to the Pew Charitable Trusts. • Don't enter the water if you're bleeding. Sharks can smell blood. Payday lending is an opportunistic business with aprofit model that pulls in more money from those who get caught in the cycle of repeat bor- rowing. The fees, when an- nualized can translate into three -digit interest rates r higher. • Don't splash a lot. Pay- day loans are intended for people in a fivaneia1 panic. These folks are splashing about, looking for some re- lief, but the debt can sink them even further. • Don't touch a shack. Steer clear of payday loans. Ifyou cant cover an expense now. how is pledging future income that you'll surely need later going to help? • If attacked by a shark. the general rule is "Do whatever it takes to get away!" Pew research finds that 12 million Americans take out payday loans every year, paying $7 billion in fees. Ise met many payday bor- rowers. They tell stories f unforgiving cycles of debt. We have to do whatever it takes to protect others from the same grisly fate. It's not personal to the payday lend- ers, but it should be to us.
