Janesville – A Story About the Rest of America
- zdw 9y agoThe most interesting part of this is the author's fifth point: a critical insight that I almost missed, because it was buried in Appendix 2, (and a real surprise to me) was that, “laid-off workers who went back to school were less likely to have a job after they retrained than those who did not go to school.” Wow. Talk about burying the lead. (strange that he too is burying the lead) This seems like the most depressing part of the entire article - you have people who go back to school/training, possibly get in debt in the process, and come out worse for it.
