In the past few years, small businesses have become a major force in manufacturing and international trade. Today, many of the companies employing between 50 and 100 people export more than those companies which provide almost all new jobs while firms that produce goods will create far fewer jobs than they do today. The government office in charge of the labor force predicts that many American workers in goods-producing industries including finance, insurance, health and transportation will provide 20 million by the year 2000. Wages in service industries will rise a bit, but no great increases are expected.
In the future, fewer families will be able to afford to send their children to college. In 1988, the average yearly cost of college education, including books and room and board, ranged from $6,000 at two-year public colleges to $15,400 at private universities. Without financial help, families today need an average income of $50,000 to cover a child’s yearly costs at two-year public college and about $95,800 for private university. With service industry jobs on the rise, but no great financial help expected, meeting this goal will become increasingly difficult in the future.

Skin Cancer Now Top Cancer among Young Women in UK
Melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the most common cancer in young 51 women, the country's leading cancer organization said Wednesday. Skin cancer has 52 cervical cancer as the top cancer striking women in their 20s, according to the latest data from Cancer Research United Kingdom.
The trend is particularly 53 since younger people are not generally those most susceptible to melanoma. Rates of skin cancer are 54 highest in people over age 75.
But experts worry that increasing numbers of younger people being diagnosed with skin cancer could be the 55 of a dangerous trend. Women 56 their 20s make up a small percentage of all patients diagnosed with melanoma in Britain, but nearly a third of all eases occur in people younger than 50.
Based on current numbers, Cancer Research UK predicts that melanoma will become the fourth most common cancer for men and women of all 57 by 2024, and that eases will jump from about 9,000 cases a year to more than 15,500.
Cancer experts 58 the rising number of skin cancer cases largely to the surge in people using tanning salons. "Spending time on sunbeds1 is just 59 dangerous as staying out too long in the sun," said Caroline Cerny of Cancer Research UK. The organization is starting a SunSmart campaign to warn Britons of the 60 of being too bronzed.
"The intensity of UV rays2 in some sunbeds can be more than 10 times 61 than the midday sun," Cerny said.
In the United States, several states require parental approval 62 minors can use tanning salons. Wisconsin bans people 16 and 63 from using tanning beds, and others ban children under 14. At least 29 states have regulations governing minors' use of tanning salons.
In the U.K., Scottish politicians passed legislation banning those under 18 from using tanning beds, though it hasn't yet been implemented. There are no plans for 64 in the rest of the U.K.
The World Health Organization has previously recommended that tanning beds be regulated because of their potential to damage DNA3 in the skin.
Experts said most deadly skin cancers could be 65 if people took the proper precautions when in the sun and avoided tanning beds.
