Reinvigorate Apprenticeships in America to Expand Good Jobs and Reduce Inequality

Robert Lerman

Challenge, 2016, vol. 59, issue 5, 372-389

Abstract: Inequality of income dominates the political discourse. But America has put most of its eggs in one basket to remedy the problem: more formal traditional education, of course. This economist argues that the approach is not as successful as advocates thought it would be. He concludes that a much more aggressive system of apprenticeships is the answer to better jobs and reduced inequality in America.
