Researchers explain why trade school, not 4-year college, is a better way to solve the US income gap

CNBC, 2017: “Research: Trade school, not a bachelor's degree, may be better for workers displaced by artificial intelligence and technology.

Some of their conclusions suggest that more investment is needed in vocational programs and not in large, four-year universities.

"There are too many four-year colleges serving too many students, and too few institutions with greater focus on vocational education and training," the researchers said.
