>Hence the reason Bush brought up education in response to the minimum wage question, even though I suspect very few listeners actually got Bush's point. That's the only way to raise wages in America, by having a more educated work force and a job market that offers higher quality work.

Yes and no... one of the biggest problems we face right now is that many people are "underemployed," meaning they're too educated/qualified for the jobs they now hold.

My dad was a pretty successful real estate agent, then the manager of a real estate referral company. His company closed down in '99, and he hasn't been able to get a good job since. He's now a trucker.

I have many friends who came out of Ivy League schools with a choice of either bartending or going back to school. Are they not educated enough?
