Many times it is not possible to write an entire blog post about them.
This blog post highlights several things that I found interesting. I hope you say the same thing when you are finished reading. If nothing else, one of these might prove to be a conversation starter at a holiday party over the next couple of weeks.
Surnames
Here is an interesting chart showing the percentage of all voter surnames beginning with a particular letter. It is taken from the records of 172.2 million U.S. voters in all 50 states and D.C. I would say that is a pretty good sample.
Surnames beginning with S are the most common followed by M and B.
There are very few I, Q, U and X surnames.
A Night Out
How about a comparison of a night out in various cities around the world.
They compared costs for club entry + two cocktails + taxi ride + a Big Mac to cap the night off.
Zurich is the most expensive city for a night out and Mexico City is the cheapest. Surprisingly, a night out in Miami costs more than a night out in any other city other than Zurich.
That is due to the high cost of club entry in Miami. In fact, club entry in Miami costs more than the costs of two drinks once you get in. I guess there are a lot of people with more interest in "being seen" than in drinking in Miami.
Expense Reports
I don't know how many of those nights out around the world are being expensed. However, you can see the rise of tech in the most common vendors that are showing up on expense reports.
Uber and Amazon have made great strides since 2015. Starbucks has held up year after year. There don't seem to be as many Big Macs being eaten by people on the road as there were three or four years ago.
Women Managers
We continue to hear that women are at a disadvantage in the workplace in the United States. However, this recent OECD report shows that there is a higher percentage of women in management positions in the United States than any country in the world except Latvia.
Women in management positions also almost matches the percentage of women in the workforce in the United States. There is a large gap in these numbers in most countries in the world. Very few managers compared to the number of women workers.
How often have you heard this?
Managing the Money
I especially enjoyed the next graph, in particular in comparison to the previous graph.
As you see from the graph above, very few Japanese or Korean women are in management positions in the workplace. It is clearly a male-dominated culture at work in those two countries.
However, at home, the women in Japan and Korea are controlling and managing all the money in about 60% of all households and only giving the husband pocket money when deemed necessary. That compares to 19% in the USA, 11% in Germany, 7% in the U.K. and 1% in Finland.
Who would have known any of this?
Now you do.
Pass on your new found fun facts.
