As reported in a recent article in The New York Times, economic mobility has been declining in the U.S. for decades — especially for workers without four-year college degrees.
“There are many paths to a better life,” Jean Eddy, CEO of American Student Assistance, told the Times, “and most young people don’t know how to find them. We’ve got to do a better job.”
In a report that she coauthored with researchers from the Burning Glass Institute, Jean found that just one in five U.S. workers with only a high school diploma bucked the trend of declining mobility.
