To Understand Rising Inequality, Consider the Janitors Then and Now
- hprotagonist 9y agowhile there is no chance of the kind of advancement that Evans had, plant staff (janitors, landscapers, etc.) at univerisities occupy an interesting space. In particular, they're full time employees, get good vacation and benefits plans, and (at my R1 school), their first two children, if accepted, get 4 years of undergrad tuition each. This is an astonishingly strong incentive, and it shows. Retention rates are basically 100%.
