Education and Economic Inequality:
There is More to Know

Selvi Bunce

Abstract

The most important influence on economic inequality in the United States is education. The majority of high paying jobs in the United States require at least a high-school diploma. This clearly puts those lacking a higher education at an immediate disadvantage. How is this fixed?

Development in technology has eradicated the need for many low skilled jobs. Where it is the problem it can also be the solution. Instead of lengthening the time it takes in school to get a good job, the opposite must be done. Technical schools have the right idea, but instead of offering a full two years after high school, the programs should be absorbed into the high school system.

Keywords: Economic inequality, lack of education, ways to reduce economic inequality developments in technology, high school courses, education and family.

Role of Education

Humans are constantly evolving. Although the science behind that statement may be questionable, it is true in regards to knowledge. Over the course of history, as discoveries are made and humans learn about them, each generation knows more than the last, or so it is hoped. The most important influence on economic inequality in the United States is education.

Lock and Key of Numerous Opportunities

Education is both the lock and the key to numerous opportunities in multiple different fields. In this day and age, one’s level of education practically dictates their income. Although this is not always true, there is a clear pattern. The majority of high paying jobs in the United States require at least a high-school diploma. For example, in 2012, 65% of all jobs required a post-secondary education, completely reversed from the only 34% that did in 1975 (Keane).
