dc.description.abstractIn this paper I discuss a structural problem facing the United States with respect to our policyresponses in the context of trade and technological change and their impact on workers. Bothtrade and technological change have put enormous pressure on the U.S. economy to raisethe skill level of the workforce. But the supply of skilled workers in the U.S. is just not keepingpace with the changes in demand due to technology and trade. Fixing this crisis requires usto understand both the skill quality of workers entering into the labor market and the nature ofthe stock of skills of workers already in the job market. This paper summarizes ourknowledge on where workers get skills training and the returns to this training – both privateand public. It then discusses how the academic research has informed the policy processand provides some suggestions on how academic economists can get involved in the policydebate to influence the direction of policy.en
