I don't know about that. I had an opportunity to see how "workplace" (remedial) math was taught in an Ontario school in the early 2000's. It was basic financial literacy, more along the line of keeping one out of financial troubles than handling large sums of money. Even though many of the students struggled with basic arithmetic, they tried to keep it concrete and the students seemed to remain sufficiently motivated to stick to it even though they faced huge hurdles.
