Building on research conducted with his colleagues Emmanuel Saez, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley,
and Anthony Atkinson, an economist at the University of Oxford, Piketty collected and analyzed data, including tax records,
and Michael Spence, a Nobel laureate and professor at New york University, argued that uperstar-based technical change is upending the global economy.
The gap between median earnings for people with a high school diploma and those with a college degree was $17, 411 for men and $12, 887 for women in 1979;
when the surge of college entrants dramatically slowed and the availability of high-skill workers consequently dwindled.
According to Chris Benner, a regional economist at the University of California, Davis, there has been no net increase in jobs in Silicon valley since 1998;
then the last chance for many people to find a route into the middle class may be in places like Foothill College.
the community college draws students from all over the region. Many come from its poorest areas, such as East Palo alto and East San jose. Ladder or no ladder, the college provides a fleeting opportunity for those students to at least get within striking distance of the elusive jobs in the nowledge economythat dominates the area.
Judy Miner president of Foothill, is justifiably proud of its accomplishments. Students routinely transfer to prestigious four-year colleges,
including the University of California Berkeley and Santa cruz campuses; as of a few years ago, 17 had gone on to MIT.
But talented though some students are, Miner is also blunt about the challenges facing a school that proudly accepts he top 100 percent of all applicants.
Foothill, like other community colleges, is playing catch up with many students who aren prepared academically for universities. And, she says,
but no one else in her family had gone to college, and she couldn imagine leaving home to do so.
So she commuted on the bus to Lone Mountain College, a small Catholic school that has closed
Now, at Foothill, she works with families and local communities to expand the ambitions of students from backgrounds like hers. iketty says the best predictor of access to universities is parentsincome,
In a city whose only public high school was shut down in the 1970s (students were bused to neighboring district schools),
is that the income gaps between those with different levels of education ccount for a good share of the inequality.
For example, Palo alto High school is a fine school. But everyone needs access to these types of schools.
and secondary schools in the United states, helping to fuel the disparity in educational investments between poor and rich communities.)
and a high-quality secondary school. And then youe simply not in position to go to college. If workers aren equipped to do the jobs that technology is creating,
he says, t because our institutions are failing us. Dirty Words Understanding what causes income inequality is important
including, as social scientists are increasingly learning, pre-kindergarten and other early education programs. As Sean Reardon, a sociologist at Stanford, points out, differences in educational achievement are associated now more closely with family income than they are with factors that have been more important in the past,
by the time children enter kindergarten. Inequality in education is not only hurting the chances of poor children to get ahead,
In high school he had trained in tool and die machining at a vocational school; shortly after returning home from the hospital he set up a workshop in the garage
So although Herr had intended never to go to college a few years after his accident he decided to give it a try earning a bachelor's degree in physics at Millersville University in Pennsylvania at age 25.
