College Grads Vs High School Dropouts: A Disturbing Observation
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-02/college-grads-vs-high-school-dropouts-disturbing-observation
… Extending and extrapolating this trend suggests that some time
over the next two decades, the labor force participation rate of
high school dropouts in the US labor pool may be the same, if not
higher, than that of college grads.
And while one can debate what is causing this troubling compression,
the implications for future US productivity should the US labor
force become increasing saturated with minimally skilled workers at
the expense of qualified college grads, is rather dire.
Then again, Bloomberg has yet to start tracking the labor force
participation rate of robots: something tells us that the growth
rate in this category will soon be off the charts.
