Paul Freedman, co-founder and CEO of Altius organization claims that the existing job crisis is an indication of a far deeper crisis in education, Russ Jones of OneNewsNow reports. More and more Americans are turning to online education to obtain an additional edge in the marketplace. This shows that the current educational system is insufficient to prepare students for the actual demands in the marketplace. Freedman remarks:
“If you look more carefully at it, we don’t have a jobs crisis — we have an education crisis. While unemployment is roughly nine-and-a-half percent for students who have a high school education, its only 4.3 percent for students who have a bachelor’s degree or higher.”
