ResumeBuilder.com Survey Finds 30 Percent of Gen Zers and Millennials Say Retirement Age Should Be Lowered to 60 or Younger

Leave a comment


“I’m not surprised that the majority of Gen Zers and millennials support lowering the retirement age,” says Julia Toothacre, Resume and Career Strategist at ResumeBuilder.com. “Gen Z and millennials tend to focus more on balance and enjoying life than working.

“I’ve seen millennial values shift throughout the years from being focused on work and promotions to now being more focused on family and having time to live their lives. With Gen Z, I’ve seen the need for balance start much earlier, so it makes sense that they would also be in favor of lowering the social security age,” Toothacre says.

Despite the sizable number of respondents who are in favor of lowering the retirement age, 41 percent believe it is ‘somewhat’ or ‘very unlikely’ that social security funds will still be available for them when they retire. However, two-thirds of respondents say they are still ‘somewhat’ or ‘very much’ counting on social security to be available to them. Additionally, 3 in 4 millennials and Gen Zers ‘somewhat’ or ‘strongly agree’ that wealthy individuals should not be able to receive social security payments.

This online poll was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted on SurveyMonkey Audience starting August 31, 2023. Respondents consist of a national sample that was randomly selected from a United States panel and balanced according to United States census data for age, gender, and region. Overall, 702 respondents between the ages of 18 and 43 completed the survey.

Pasternack Launches Low-Frequency Waveguide Standard Gain Horns

Leave a comment


Perhaps the best aspect of these horns is their adaptability. They offer an extensive range of frequency and gain options, from an astounding 320 MHz all the way up to 2.20 GHz. They are also user-friendly, designed to blend seamlessly into existing setups with a direct-mounting feature for other waveguide systems.

Constructed from the finest high-grade aluminum and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coating, these horns don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. And it doesn’t stop there. Pasternack is pushing the envelope by introducing low-frequency options.

The low-frequency waveguide standard gain horns are a refreshing departure from the high-priced norm, providing an alternative for those not requiring TAA/U.S.-made products, without skimping on performance. What’s more, they ensure a steady, consistent gain versus frequency, promising trustworthy, spot-on results every time.

“Pasternack is about creating real, practical solutions that resonate with our customers and their unique needs,” said Product Line Manager Kevin Hietpas. “These waveguide standard gain horns are a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation, delivering both quality and affordability in a neat package.”

Pasternack’s new low-frequency waveguide standard gain horns are in stock and available for same-day shipping. For inquiries, please call +1 (949) 261-1920.

CCA, AGF, and UNCDF Launch Partnership to Mobilize $100 Million for Clean Cooking

Leave a comment


Nearly a third of the world’s population still relies on polluting open fires and inefficient stoves for cooking, contributing to 3.2 million premature deaths and harming livelihoods, the climate, and the environment. However, current levels of investment in clean cooking – estimated at around US $130 million each year – fall far short of the US $10 billion needed to reach universal access.

The platform aims to support investments to grow clean cooking markets and expand access to modern fuels and technologies in Africa. While CCA, AGF, and UNCDF are the platform’s anchor partners, a growing pipeline of other key ecosystem actors are expected to join the effort as noted by the range of organizations at the ACS launch event, which included representatives from banks, carbon project developers, impact investors, development finance institutions, clean cooking companies, standards bodies, and many others.

Paul Muthaura, CEO, Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI): “The Partnership Platform for Clean Cooking Finance supports the ambitions of ACMI and facilitates much-needed pooling of capabilities of different stakeholders in the financial ecosystem to achieve universal access to cooking in Africa.”

Alex Eaton, CEO, Sistema.bio: “Carbon revenues are now integral to Sistema’s business model, and initiatives like this platform attract national and international financiers so companies like ours can access a wider range of capital options.”

Lawrence Cole-Morgan, Executive Lead, Carbon Credit Trading, Standard Bank Group: “Bringing together a range of players with different focus areas, such as AGF on guarantees, CCA on coordination, technical assistance and market knowledge, and UNCDF on policy support and concessional capital, is extremely helpful to financiers considering new investments.”

Franck Adjagba, Group Director of Business Development, AGF: “The platform brings together the capacity building of banks and clean cooking companies, resulting in expansion of market for lending to clean cooking companies that helps financial institutions of their ESG priorities and investments towards climate action.”

Vincent Wierda, Global Energy Lead, UNCDF: “UNCDF has been supporting clean cooking companies through results-based finance grants and concessional loans, but we need to accelerate progress. The Partnership Platform for Clean Cooking Finance allows us to leverage deep clean cooking market expertise, and we are assessing how we can elevate the platform further by drawing in additional donors and UN agencies.”

Jillene Connors Belopolsky, Chief of Staff and Chief External Affairs Officer, CCA: “Despite a recent increase in investment in the clean cooking sector, the rate of financing remains far too slow. This new financing platform can help close the financing gap, mobilizing and de-risking new investments at the scale required to rapidly accelerate access to clean cooking.”
