What's conveniently left out of all the graphs and articles I've seen showing this....is whether they bothered to establish any causation.
Why shouldn't we just presume that people who have access to college also have better access to employment?
- gvb 16y agoI cannot prove causation, but all the job applications I recall seeing ask for the applicant's educational level. Companies use that as one of their qualifiers for choosing whom to hire. In other words, those that have access to college have better access to employment.
- j_baker 16y agoYeah, but I also can say that there are a lot of jobs out there that ask for a college degree, but are more than willing to drop that requirement for the right person.
- JamisonM 16y agoYes, the article should prove causation precisely because it has nothing to do with the point of the article. The article is about the correlation, not the causation.
