A lot of people have been struggling to explain the rage being felt around the world towards the “elites.” In the US, a new report might suggest why people are so angry in a world that should be experiencing much less turmoil as it recovers from the Great Recession.
Jobs have come back back in post-recession America—but they’re reserved almost exclusively for people who went to college. Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce put out an extensive report this week revealing that while the US created 11.6 million new jobs after the recession, 11.5 million of those went to individuals with at least some college education...
Millions of workers with less education are concerned about their futures right now. Especially for the 68% of Americans—209 million people—who do not hold a college degree, according to the last census, or the 34% of students who graduate high school and do not enroll in further education each year.
It could explain why so many Americans are rallying behind the likes of Donald Trump to express their frustration. Most of his supporters have been people who did not go to college, leading him to remark: “I love the poorly educated!”
