The Job Training Charade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You need to read this book.
It shows clearly the motivations employers
use to make hiring decisions.
Dr. Lafer shows the true reasons hire/not hire
decisions are made.
It fits perfectly with an economic model: cost.
He shows, through government statistics and interviews
with employers, the true motivations for hiring.
It's all about cost (obviously).
But i'm not summarizing! The book gives a much
better description of this huge trend, affecting
each of our lives.
It starts out with an analysis of the job training
program for lesser educated persons. The chapter
that affects me, the 2nd one, "Does education really matter"
is 20+ pages of information (not opinion) of why
people hire. It's so easy to say "there is a skills mismatch".
Yet, i've seen organized people rise to prominent positions
based solely on their abilities to listen to their boss, and be
organized. Learning more and more from universities won't
save you.
You need to understand what the reasons are.
The writing style is very clear. You're not confused
with arcane economic jargon. The facts are laid out,
and the supporting details are put in footnotes.
I read a lot of books on employment, advancement,
the job trends of the future. This book explains
so many of the true reasons. And when you understand the general premise, it fits perfectly with the low cost
economic model sweeping the world.
