What Makes You Richer?

“Worker education is key! It will make them more productive and richer. Harvard economists Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz have shown persuasively that the largest factor in the inequality’s rise (in compensation) is the slowing pace of educational attainment.”

“Workers skills are not keeping up with the advance of technology, so the shrinking proportion of workers of workers with the needed skills command a larger share on the (compensation) pie.”

Fortune Magazine, April 2011
