The cause of gastroschisis is unknown. Normally, during early development, the intestines, stomach and liver protrude to the outside of the body. As the fetus grows, these organs are pulled in and the abdominal wall forms around them. This does not occur in gastroschisis.
Americans didn't get a raise last year. The typical American family income was $53,657 in 2014, barely changed from $54,462 a year earlier, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Wednesday. What's worse ... it's far below the peak set in 1999. That's a major reason why so many Americans are still gloomy about the economy six years into the recovery.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average salary for all Americans was $51,017 in 2012, down very slightly from 2011's mean of $51,100.That is still 8.7 percent below the average salary in 2007.Women made 77 percent of what men make on average across the country in 2012.hite workers earned an annual average of $57,000 in 2012; African-Americans, $33,300; Asian-Americans, $68,600; and Hispanics, $39,000. For the third year in a row, the percentage of Americans living at or below the poverty level -- those individuals earning $11,720 or less -- has remained at a high of 15 percent.
