The US Department of Labour statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that
this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers,
engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and
graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete
for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions
for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a
college degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled
workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, and TV repairmen.
These people have more work than they can deal
with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates.
The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers
no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favours the skilled workmen.
