abstract = {In this paper I discuss a structural problem facing the United States with respect to our policy
responses in the context of trade and technological change and their impact on workers. Both
trade and technological change have put enormous pressure on the U.S. economy to raise
the skill level of the workforce. But the supply of skilled workers in the U.S. is just not keeping
pace with the changes in demand due to technology and trade. Fixing this crisis requires us
to understand both the skill quality of workers entering into the labor market and the nature of
the stock of skills of workers already in the job market. This paper summarizes our
knowledge on where workers get skills training and the returns to this training \textendash{} both private
and public. It then discusses how the academic research has informed the policy process
and provides some suggestions on how academic economists can get involved in the policy
debate to influence the direction of policy.},
