How I would solve the job problem. I would introduce a totally new program [View all]

[CK_John]

and modify an existing one, and put some restriction on higher ed.

First the restriction on ed: put a freeze on all admissions for five yrs.

Modify Soc Sec retirement age down to 50YRs.

Now my new program is: require all hiring be done through a jobs broker. (a new kind of union). You pay a fee and they neg a salary/wage, benefits etc. Broker firms would be limited to 10 per state and would ensure employees are qualified for the position and meet legal requirements.

These brokers would signal needs to higher ed, strike a balance of terror between corporations and employees, and fine tune the job market.

If only I were king!
