Job retraining might not really work

[admin]

While many agree that worker retraining is necessary to prepare for the future, it's not clear that such programs are always effective. In her book "Janesville: An American Story," The Washington Post’s Amy Goldstein chronicled the closure after a GM plant shut down in Janesville, Wis., in 2008, following the lives of workers who had to start over. She found that retraining programs for those factory workers were inadequate solutions. “People who had retrained overall were less likely to have work,” Goldstein told LinkedIn. “The difference between their [wages] before the recession and a few years afterwards was a bigger slide downwards than compared to people who had not gone back to school.” • Do you think worker retraining is the answer to automation?
