well first off, I'm living through part of this - so I see it everyday on the job, or when I meet my former tech co-workers who are now at Lowes. so you won't be able to convince me that the reality I see everyday - isn't really happening.

are you saying the christian science monitor article is totally unsourced:

"In reality, although we may have entered the so-called "knowledge economy," the true backbone of the economy will continue to consist of low- and medium-skilled jobs. Take a look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics's 10 fastest growing occupations between 2004 and 2014, and you'll find that six of the 10 professions do not require a four-year degree, and four of these call for no academic degree at all."

"We currently find many college graduates employed as waiters, cashiers, healthcare aides, and in other jobs that don't require any special background. Expanding college access will just mean more young people with college debts doing low-paid work."

I've been saying this stuff for years.
