Fact And Figures

[Galeno Kent]

In2020, EPA released the last Advancing Sustainable Materials Management: Facts and Figures Fact Sheet, formerly called Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: Facts and Figures based on 2018 data. It includes information on Municipal Solid Waste generation, recycling, composting, other food management, combustion with energy recovery and landfilling. The 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018 factsheets also include information on construction and demolition debris, which is outside of the scope of municipal solid waste. Data are in U.S. short tons unless specified.

Explore key data and facts on the economic empowerment of women. From income disparities and workforce trends to entrepreneurship and access to financial resources, these statistics spotlight the critical role of economic empowerment in advancing gender equality and driving sustainable development.

This report provides students, medical educators and administrators, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public with detailed statistical information about race, ethnicity, and sex in medical education and the physician workforce in the United States. It displays applicant, matriculant, and graduate data for the academic year 2018-2019 and faculty and workforce data for 2018. The data presented are primarily from the AAMC, with additional data from the American Medical Association.

Previously, the AAMC published this report biennially, with the focus alternating between diversity in medical education and diversity in the physician workforce. Beginning in 2019, the AAMC will combine the two topics for future editions of the report. Previous editions of the report are available at aamc.org/factsfiguresreports.

This report presents medical education and physician workforce diversity data. It incorporates multiple sources of data that the AAMC collects or has permission to access (Table 1). The data sources used are identified in the figure or table or in the notes following each figure or table.

This report is presented in an order that mirrors the medical education continuum: medical school application, acceptance, matriculation, graduation, residency and fellowship, and teaching and clinical practice.

For physician workforce data, the definitions for active physician, primary care physician, and practice specialty correspond to the definitions in the 2019 State Physician Workforce Data Report and the 2018 Physician Specialty Data Report, both of which can be found at aamc.org.

Medical school faculty continued to be predominantly White (63.9%) and male (58.6%) overall, and especially so at the professor and associate professor ranks (Figures 15-17). As discussed in previous editions of the Diversity Facts and Figures report, there remains persistent underrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic minority groups and women in medical school faculty positions. Additional findings can be found in Figures 15 through 17.

We make hundreds of thousands of decisions during our lives. The choices we make and the lifestyles we live have a profound impact on our planet. In fact, our lifestyles are responsible for an estimated two thirds of global emissions.

Demand for natural resources is at an all-time high and continues to grow -- for food, clothing, water, housing, infrastructure and other aspects of life. Resource extraction has more than tripled since 1970, including a 45% increase in fossil fuel use.

The Sustainable Development Goals include targets (4.7 and 12.8) to ensure that, by 2030, people everywhere have the relevant information, education and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.

Electricity drives our lifestyles. Although some 750 million people in the world still lack access to electricity, for the rest, everything from a computer to a television to a refrigerator needs energy.

Switching to renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind or hydroelectric power, also means less pollution and new and better jobs. Currently, around 80% of global energy and 66% of electrical generation are supplied from fossil fuels.

Domestic and International aviation is responsible for about 10% of global emissions in the transport sector, and an estimated 1% of the world population is responsible for more than half of these emissions.

Three billion people cannot afford a healthy diet. Two billion are overweight or obese. Food systems generate one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions and are responsible for up to 80% of biodiversity loss.

17% of all food available at consumer levels is wasted. This amounts to a big waste of resources used in production, such as land, water, energy and other inputs, and unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions. By reducing food waste, you can save money, reduce emissions, and help preserve resources for future generations.

A diet that is higher in plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and lower in animal-based foods, has a lower environmental impact (greenhouse gas emissions and energy, land, and water use).

Agriculture is by far the largest water consumer, accounting for 72% of annual water withdrawals globally. Shifting towards a plant-based diet is one of the most impactful actions one can take to save water.

This is the 43rd edition of UAB's Facts & Figures and the 21st edition available electronically. This factbook is compiled by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Analysis but reflects contributions from offices all over campus. Our objective is to produce a useful and reliable resource for a variety of information needs.

(Note that the Alliance for Audited Media (AAM), the source of this circulation data and the group that audits the circulation figures of many of the largest North American newspapers and other publications, changed their reporting period in 2020 from a three-month period to a six-month period. Additional details about how the circulation estimate is calculated can be found in the methodological note below.)

Note: For each year, the average traffic for each website for October/November/December was calculated; the data point represents the overall average of those numbers. Analysis is of the top 49 newspapers by average Sunday circulation for Q3 2015-2019 and the six-month period ending Sept. 30 for 2020 onward, according to Alliance for Audited Media data, with the addition of The Wall Street Journal. For each newspaper, the Comscore entity matching its homepage URL was analyzed.

Gauging digital audience for the entire newspaper industry is difficult since many daily newspapers do not receive enough traffic to their websites to be measured by Comscore, the data source relied on here. Thus, the figures offered above reflect the top 50 U.S. daily newspapers based on circulation. In the fourth quarter of 2022, there were an average 8.8 million monthly unique visitors (across all devices) for these top 50 newspapers. This is down 20% from 2021, which itself was a 20% decrease from 2020.

(The list of top 50 papers is based on Sunday circulation but includes The Wall Street Journal, which does not report Sunday circulation to AAM. It also includes The Washington Post and The New York Times, which make the top 50 even though they do not fully report their digital circulation to AAM. For more details and the full list of newspapers, read our methodology.)

Note: For each year, the average minutes per visit for each website for October/November/December was calculated; the data point represents the overall average of those numbers. Analysis is of the top 49 newspapers by average Sunday circulation for Q3 2015-2019 and the six-month period ending Sept. 30 for 2020 onward, according to Alliance for Audited Media data, with the addition of The Wall Street Journal. For each newspaper, the Comscore entity matching its homepage URL was analyzed.

Average minutes per visit for the top 50 U.S. daily newspapers, based on circulation, was just under 1 minute and 30 seconds in Q4 2022. This represents a 43% decline from when we first began tracking this in Q4 2014, when the average minutes per visit was just over 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Digital advertising accounted for 48% of newspaper advertising revenue in 2022, based on this analysis of publicly traded newspaper companies. This follows a steady increase from 17% in 2011, the first year it was possible to perform this analysis.

The study covers a wide geographical area targeting a total of 34 countries, i.e. the 27 EU Member States as well as 7 other European countries: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and Turkey. It allows for an updated and accurate outline of the private security services sector focusing on the legal, social and economic realities within these 34 countries and looks to identify similarities and differences between them.

The CoESS Facts & Figures study is the only available analysis at European level offering representative and research-based statistical and factual information about the European private security services industry today.

* Students pursuing degrees in the fields of engineering and applied science are enrolled in either Yale College or in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Institute of Sacred Music students are also enrolled in either the Divinity School or the School of Music, and counted only once in this table, in the ISM row. Enrollment figures for each school include only those students paying tuition to that school in the fall term. Columns above give student gender: M (men), W (women), N (as offered to students; includes gender nonbinary and cases with no self-reported data).

The Yale Office of Career Strategy was able to obtain information on the post-graduate outcomes for 90.3% of the total Yale College Class of 2023, with approximately six percent of the Class still seeking opportunities six months after graduation. When asked about post-graduate plans, almost three-quarters (73.6%) are employed, with the next largest group (19%) attending graduate school. Among those employed, 69.2% indicated they intend to pursue graduate school within the next five years. Almost two percent of respondents are pursuing their own entrepreneurial ventures.
