The Hechinger Report

Covering Innovation & Inequality in Education

Category: Map to the Middle Class

The Map to the Middle Class is a project that will explore what it takes to get to the middle class in an evolving economy
The story of work is one of deepening economic polarization. Good jobs are disappearing for people with only a high-school diploma, while wage and employment gains increasingly accrue to people with higher education. In this series, we’ll explore how trends such as automation could reshape the types of jobs that are available. And we’ll find out how schools can help young people prepare for a landscape where middle-class life is increasingly out of reach.
