Literacy is an economic growth engine – will we seize it?
Everywhere in our economy, there are shortages – in skills, workers and opportunities. Employers say they can’t find the workers they need. And yet, tens of millions of workers are stuck in low-wage, low-growth jobs, with limited economic potential and little opportunity to pursue the American dream.
Some say the only answer is more robots, self-serve kiosks and other technology to replace the workers employers say they can’t find.
