Posted: 01 Jun 2017 02:08 PM PDT

Recent immigrants to the U.S. are better educated: reportNearly half the recent immigrants to the United States have college degrees, reflecting a steady increase in educational attainment fueled largely by growing numbers of people from Asia, a study released on Thursday showed. Rising immigration from countries such as India, China and the Philippines helped increase the share of arrivals with a bachelor's degree to 48 percent between 2011 and 2015 from 27 percent in the five years through 1990, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data by the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan think tank. The findings followed comments by President Donald Trump in March that the United States had "lower-skilled immigration" and should switch to a "merit-based" system to attract people who could support themselves rather than strain public resources.

McDonald's has made this secret burger hack an official menu item

Posted: 30 May 2017 08:42 PM PDT

McDonald's has made this secret burger hack an official menu itemSeems like McDonald's has been keeping track of how you've been messing with its food. It's figured out that Aussies have been swapping out the Big Mac's beef patties with chicken. So it did the only logical thing and put the often-requested burger on the menu. SEE ALSO: Five Guys beat In-N-Out as best burger chain, proving there really is no justice in the world Predictably it's called the Chicken Big Mac, and features all the other ingredients you'd get on the burger — lettuce, cheese, special sauce, on a sesame seed bun — but with McChicken patties instead.  Image: mcdonald's australiaOf course the Chicken Big Mac isn't a purely Australian thing. The Chicken Big Mac is sold in Qatar, Egypt, the UAE and the Netherlands — but for the rest of the world you'll have to spend a little more time explaining your order. Also launching in Australia are the cheeseburger Shaker Fries, which have a seasoning that combines the taste of "beef, onions, pickle, ketchup, mustard and cheese" — you know, like a cheeseburger. Shaker Fries are oddly a big thing Down Under — a dude who was selling a bag and a sachet of the seasoning for A$1,000 (US$744) back in 2014. "It's very limited edition," Vandi Huynh told The City at the time. "It comes out less frequently than the Olympics, like once every six years."  Image: mcdonald's australiaYep, Australians are also pretty weirdly obsessed with fast food.
