Easier said then done when you consider that "start early" means being aware of opportunities (even people seeking out such opportunities may not know where to look), and "devote extra resources" may mean spending money that families don't have.

If I were an employer who had a lot of low-wage/SES parents, I'd seriously consider some kind of education program for their children. It's a great way to reduce turnover, too, since they won't want to take their kids out of the program for a 10% raise somewhere else.
