Let’s Try A Government-Sponsored Adult Vocational Educational Program To Get People Back To Work!

December 25, 2008

The current state of the economy has certainly got everyone’s attention! With high unemployment rates, bank foreclosures and a slowing economy, it’s obvious that something needs to be done, and quickly. The number of people living at or below the poverty line calculated at about 16% of our nation’s population, should prompt some economists to try a bottom-up approach to getting the economy back on track. Much of the cause of so many people now being impoverished is due not to a lack of will, but a lack of education skills in area and field where workers are in demand. For example, medical careers are plentiful, but there are not enough people trained to fill the jobs. Service jobs, we’ve been told, are the wave of the future.
