One of the best ways to increase your value in the job market is with education.
Poor people have more and better educational opportunities today than at any point in time. Between libraries, universities, colleges, free online resources, etc. the opportunities are growing faster than ever.
So if you consider access to education "crumbs" then I'd say there is more rather than less.
- Firadeoclus 9y agoIn a competitive environment you have to compare yourself to others today, not yesterday. Your relative education level and the demand at that level is what counts. So while your absolute education opportunities may be better than ever, the requirements to get a half-decent job are higher, too. Which means you have to learn for longer to reach a higher absolute level. But even ignoring other resources, the poorest may simply not have as much time to spare as those from a wealthy family.
