Honoring Veterans Helping Troops Return Home to Meaningful Work
Colin and Karen Archipley, owners of Archi’s Acres, in Escondido, California, daily honor contributions by America’s armed forces by helping combat vets return home to a fresh start doing meaningful work through their Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training (VSAT) program. Established in 2007, they can now list 160 ongoing agribusinesses nationwide led by program graduates. “This instills confi dence in the veterans as together, we tap into their abilities to adapt and overcome, to take on a challenge and to know themselves and seek improvement,” says Colin, who served with the Marine Corps. This year, the couple is expanding the
program by launching 10 one-acre certifi ed- organic hydroponic greenhouses as incubators sparking future VSAT- graduate businesses.

Nearing Equality Gender Pay Gap is Eroding
Recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that women now earn 82 percent as much as men, up from 64 percent in 1980. This latest fi gure represents median annual earnings for full-time, year-round workers, including self- employed, but not seasonal workers. Progress has also been made in gender segregation within the labor market, with many previously male-dominated fi elds including law, banking, medicine and civil service jobs such as bus drivers and mail carriers opening up to women. In 2012, President Obama cited his signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act as a second-term issue for addressing gender discrimination.
