Education is the key to better jobs
Few issues are more critical than putting Americans back to work. With the economy
adding private-sector jobs for the last 30 consecutive months and the unemployment rate
continuing to tick down, another concern has begun to dominate the discussion. Is it enough
to find a job, or should we be more focused on the quality of that job? For those Americans
who have been displaced in the workforce, what are their prospects of finding comparable
employment in the 21st century, post-recession economy? After all, having a job—any
job—does not guarantee a wage that will support a family. How, then, can we foster an
economy that produces quality, high-paying jobs?
