Again we see that education does provide some security. That bad news is that the less formally educated as well as minorities are hit very hard.

I thought you might enjoy this. I am sitting at an airport window and the plane at the gate was moved about two feet from the gate by the push machine and then sat there for a while. A moment later one of the desk people came and sat nearby. I smiled and said, "So if the plane is moved from the gate then it is an on ...time departure?" She smiled and said that three wheel turns were the defintion of leaving the gate. So even if the plane can't go anywhere they will still move it three wheel turns so that the supervisors don't get angry about late departures. Moral: You get what you evaluate for.Read More
