"50% of the unemployed between the ages 16 and 21 cannot read well enough to be considered functionally literate"
The unemployment rate is ~4% in the US, assuming -- very generously -- that half of these are between ages 16 and 21, and that half of these are functionally illiterate, we are only talking about 1% of the total US population, which isn't that bad?
* "Between 46% and 51% of the Am. adults have an income well below the poverty level because of their inability to read"
So ~half of the US population has an income below the poverty line AND they can't read AND the latter is the cause of the former?
It should be something like: "~50% of adults below the poverty line in the US have ended up in their situation because of their inability to read", no?
* "44% of the Am. adults do not read a book in a year"
This is phrased wrong: it now suggests that, e.g., they read the book in two years, they read it in half a year, they read several books a year, etc. It should (presumably) be something like:
"44% of the Am. adults does not read even a single book per year"
(Also I'd like to have a link to the report should anyone here have it and the numbers broken down by race if possible)
