Reich urges job training for anxious U S workers
Labor Secretary Robert Reich tells a National Alliance of Business conference that private firms should fund worker training and education to curb a growing anxious class. He warns of possible federal measures if business fails to act, cites wage gaps between educated and uneducated workers and a widening middle class decline. He notes college graduates now out-earn high school graduates by about 83 percent for men, with similar but smaller gaps for women.
