My biggest takeaway is that in 2013 two-thirds of the North American workforce did not have a 4 year degree. [1] http://victortanchen.com/educational-attainmen

  That in itself isn't such a bad thing because an economy can't actually function if everyone has a degree and expects a high-value white-collar job. The problem is that no effort has been made to guard against the outflow of jobs for less skilled workers that pay well enough to live comfortably.

    When you "guard against the outflow of jobs for less skilled workers", you are both implying that those people are capable of nothing more, and guarding against rapid progress in less advanced countries where the world's poor suffer terribly from poverty.

  That didn't used to be a problem. You could earn a living, support a family, retire, get a broken bone set, etc.
