Jimi Hendrix is the #1 Musician Fans Would Like to See at Coachella 2013 According to Ranker's April Rankings of Musicians You'd Want to See Perform as Holograms


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2013

Jimi Hendrix holds a narrow lead over Freddie Mercury as the musician most fans would like to see perform as a hologram at the 2013 Coachella Music and Arts Festival on Ranker’s “Dead Musicians You’d Like To See Perform At Coachella” list, a a crowd-sourced list on the consumer opinions website, Ranker.com. More than 1200 people have voted on the list as of April 2013 and the variety of performers fans would like to see return to the stage after death are as varied as the acts at this year’s festival. Fans would have the hologram concept, which resurrected slain rapper 2-Pac during Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg’s set at the 2012 Festival, bring back performers from Bob Marley to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to entertain the masses in the Indio desert.

The rest of the Top 10 Dead Performers Who Should Be Holograms are as follows:

1) Jimi Hendrix

2) Freddie Mercury

3) Bob Marley

4) John Lennon

5) Johnny Cash

6) Jim Morrison

7) Elvis Presley

8) Kurt Cobain

9) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

10) The Beatles

Music enthusiast Brian Gilmore enjoyed the Tupac hologram last year, but doesn’t think all music legends would benefit from digital reanimation. Said Gilmore, “It would be great to see Freddie Mercury on stage again, but there’s no way a hologram could capture his charisma”.

See the full list of Performers Who Should Be Holograms, as well as 1000’s of other Music lists at Ranker.com.

Over seven million people go to Ranker each month to view, rank and vote their opinions on matters both entertaining and practical.

Bright Employment Report: The Labor Market Gained 172,000 Net Jobs in June 2013


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 02, 2013

Employment increased by 172,000 net jobs from June to July 2013 according to the June 2013 Bright Employment Report, which is produced by Bright Media Corporation and Bright.com. The report is derived from one of the nation’s largest aggregations of job postings and resumes. This data is supplemented with government, financial, real estate, and other data sources, in order to measure changes in nonfarm private employment through a novel method utilizing inter-temporal substitution, regression, and labor supply.

Two other reports issued by Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Automatic Data Inc. (ADP) also include monthly estimates of net jobs created. For their monthly Current Population Survey (CPS; household survey), which derives their net non-farm jobs created estimate, BLS collects data each month from the payroll records of a sample of approximately 145,000 nonagricultural business establishments. ADP also uses payroll data, however their estimate focuses on the payrolls of private businesses in their system. Thus, these three metrics from Bright, BLS, and ADP each examine unique aspects of the labor market.

This month’s estimate of 172,000 net jobs created comes on the heels of last month’s report by the BLS indicating that 175,000 jobs were created in May, compared with 177,000 estimated by Bright.
