Study: Education is no silver bullet for workers

I'm glad there is more and more serious scientific research that gives the lie to the bipartisan, faith-based assumption that more and better education is the cure for America's competitiveness and joblessness woes.

For a few years now I've been debunking the STEM education myth, emphasizing the vital role of unions, and calling for more vocational training and professional apprenticeships in lieu of college to create skilled workers.
