Much has been said about the impact of the Super Bowl on sex trafficking, most of which indicates it is a key variable leading to a dramatic increase in commercial sexual exploitation and victimization. Recent reports and dozens of news articles strongly point to the Super Bowl as the most prominent national event where sex trafficking flourishes, with estimates of as many as 10,000 victims flooding host cities to be offered to willing purchasers intent on buying sex. While this has attracted a great deal of attention in the media and has served as a key point in the national dialogue on sex trafficking, support for such assertions has been sparse.
While some such inquiries have been conducted capably, evidence supported research on the influence of the Super Bowl on sex trafficking has been limited.
With the support of the McCain Institute, researchers from Arizona State University sought to investigate and understand the true impact of the Super Bowl on sex trafficking, to further the national discussion on sex trafficking and its local and national impact as well as to develop a baseline understanding of regional sex trafficking trends for the 2015 Super Bowl which is to be held in Phoenix. What follows is what we believe to be the first comprehensive and systematic review of the quagmire that is the Super Bowl and sex trafficking and the first attempt to add clarity to a complex, national epidemic.

Dray Carson is Hired by Many Companies
Dray Carson, who also goes by Andraya Carson, is hired by many companies because of her ability to help them grow and expand. Currently she works with an HR company called G&A Partners and is one of their top producers. One company that benefited greatly from her work was Trivedi Master Wellness. Andraya Carson worked with Mahendra Trivedi as the Business Development Director, and also worked with CEO Alice Branton. Unfortunately people on the internet have said bad things about Alice Branton and Mahendra Trivedi, which Andraya Carson does not agree with. Andraya Carson actually helped Alice Branton and Mahendra Trivedi in lawsuits in the past, providing letters to the court that spoke the truth about the respectable people that the two of those individuals are. For some reason, someone has misinformation about Andraya Carson and thinks that she in in contact with Robert Carroll and Tania Swalecki. Andraya Carson has never spoken to either of them, and doesn't know who they are. Actually, Dray Carson is not in favor of Tania Swalecki or Robert Caroll, and is not in favor of other people like Nolan Corbitt, who is also thought to have spread lies about Alice Branton and Mahendra Trivedi. Nolan Corbitt tried to contact Dray Carson in June 2013, and immediately Dray Carson hung the phone up and reported the attempt to Mahendra Trivedi, Guruji. There are blogs about Dray Carson and Andraya Carson that speak about how she is in financial struggle and is working as prostitute and other horrible rumors. These are obviously not true and the blogs are being written because that person thinks that Andraya Carson leaked information from Trivedi company while she worked there. This is also not true and there is no proof to back this. Unfortunately she is caught between a drama with both sides, and does not have anything to do with it. You can connect with Dray Carson on Facebook or Twitter and ask her the truth about Mahendra Trivedi, Alice Branton, and this situation. She is will speak the truth, which is not of ill nature towards either of those individuals. If either of those two individuals would contact Dray Carson, she would be happy to help them even more against the people that are writing negative things on the internet about them.

Dray Carson: September Report Shows Hiring Up, Unemployment Down to 6-Year Low
Andraya Carson wanted to share this with all of the readers. Please feel free to reach out to Andraya (Dray Carson) with G&A Partners, to find out more about the economic climate and Human Resources related activities. Andraya Carson is one the top sales representatives and Business Development Advisors companywide for G&A Partners.

Propelled by strong hiring across a range of occupations and industries, September saw 248,000 new jobs added to the economy, which helped drive down unemployment to a six-year low of 5.9 percent.
The monthly jobs report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics also adjusted upward its count of hiring in August and July, increasing both by a combined 69,000 jobs. August’s initial anemic 142,000 estimate, which surprised analysts and prompted worrying about a hiring pause, was upped to 180,000.
Economists predicted September’s numbers would be in the 215,000 to 220,000 range. The higher number, plus the upward revisions, says that the August slowdown — only the second time this year hiring was under 200,000 — man just have been a blip.
September’s job growth was concentrated in the service sector. Retailers and the leisure and hospitality industry added 35,300 and 33,000 jobs respectively. Grocers added 19,500 jobs, most of them marking the return to work of New England’s striking Market Basket employees. Restaurants and bars hired 20,400 new workers.
Other sectors showing hiring strength:
The BLS report also showed participation in the labor force is continuing to contract, which is a factor in bringing down the unemployment rate. September’s rate of 62.7 percent was the lowest since 1978. Even if no new jobs were being created, the unemployment rate would be decreasing since there are fewer workers employed or looking for work.

Service sector shows strong gains
“The slower gain initially reported for August now appears to have been simply an aberration,” said Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomic and labor-market research at The Conference Board.September’s job growth was concentrated in the service sector. Retailers and the leisure and hospitality industry added 35,300 and 33,000 jobs respectively. Grocers added 19,500 jobs, most of them marking the return to work of New England’s striking Market Basket employees. Restaurants and bars hired 20,400 new workers.
Other sectors showing hiring strength:
- Health care, up 22,600, the bulk coming from home health care and outpatient facilities;
- Employment services hired 33,600 new workers, with temp agencies accounting for 19,700;
- Professional and technical services added 21,100 positions, including jobs for architects and engineers, software developers and management and technical consultants;
- The financial sector was up 12,000 jobs, a nice gain for one of the sectors hardest hit by the recession.
Workforce participation at lowest level since 1978
Wages and the length of the work week changed little in September. Wage growth has been mostly stagnant this year, with hourly pay rates rising only 2 percent. The average workweek for all employees on private non-farm payrolls was 34.6 hours in September.The BLS report also showed participation in the labor force is continuing to contract, which is a factor in bringing down the unemployment rate. September’s rate of 62.7 percent was the lowest since 1978. Even if no new jobs were being created, the unemployment rate would be decreasing since there are fewer workers employed or looking for work.

Andraya Carson :: Our Minimum Wage is Low, Really Low
The value of the federal minimum wage has been on a steady decline since it peaked in the late 1960s. In fact, it’s worth 20 percent less today than it was in the 1980s, making it difficult for a full-time worker to pay their monthly bills or even buy the basic necessities. With an income of $15,000 a year, this puts many workers – including many with families to support – below the poverty line.
In fact, the U.S. lags behind many countries when it comes to the minimum wage as a percentage of median income. In America, far too many people at the bottom of the income ladder are working harder and harder but still falling behind.
That’s why President Obama has proposed that we raise the national minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10. The president’s opportunity agenda is about rewarding hard work and responsibility with fair pay. And that’s why he and Secretary Perez are pushing so hard for an increase.
Raising the minimum wage isn’t just the right thing to do for working families — it’s the smart thing to do to grow our economy. Consumer spending accounts for almost 70% of GDP. Business owners know that in an economy driven by consumer demand, more money in people’s pockets means more customers for them. That’s especially true for low-wage working people. When you put more money in their pockets, they don’t stash it in offshore bank accounts, they pump it right back into the economy – spending it on groceries, gas, school supplies and more. In fact, more than 3 in 5 small business owners support a $10.10 minimum wage.
Additional spending from this increase could help the U.S. compete on the global stage; greater consumer spending and a higher GDP mean a stronger economy – and fewer countries outranking us when it comes to comparing the purchasing power of our minimum wage to theirs.
