The Broken Promises of Education: Jobs and Incomes examines the growing gap between the promises of higher education and the realities of the job market. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors that have contributed to this gap, and offers concrete solutions for addressing the challenges facing students and graduates today.

In recent decades, the cost of college has skyrocketed, while the value of a college degree has declined. This has left many students and graduates struggling to find jobs that pay a living wage. The Broken Promises of Education: Jobs and Incomes provides a clear-eyed look at this problem, and offers a roadmap for change.

The book begins by examining the history of higher education in the United States. It shows how the once-elite institution has become increasingly accessible to students from all backgrounds. However, this expansion has come at a price. The cost of college has risen dramatically, and the value of a college degree has declined.

The Broken Promises of Education: Jobs and Incomes then explores the factors that have contributed to the growing gap between the promises of higher education and the realities of the job market. These factors include:

• The decline of manufacturing jobs
• The rise of the service economy
• The increasing automation of jobs
• The globalization of the economy

These factors have made it more difficult for college graduates to find jobs that pay a living wage. The Broken Promises of Education: Jobs and Incomes provides a detailed analysis of these factors, and offers concrete solutions for addressing them.

The book concludes with a call for action. It urges policymakers to make college more affordable, and to invest in programs that help students prepare for the jobs of the future. The Broken Promises of Education: Jobs and Incomes is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of higher education.
