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.
