Many people who did not attend college have difficulty finding work. Many employers ask for employees who have college degrees. Federal and state governments can help provide more jobs for people without college degrees. These jobs could also be valued more highly. Solutions include improving courses at community colleges and vocational schools, providing jobs in poor areas, and offering money to businesses that hire people without degrees.
