Yes. We are tearing the paper ceiling @OpptyatWork
Here’s an example of a smart policy that gets rid of unnecessary college degree requirements and reduces barriers to good paying jobs. I hope other states follow suit!

STARs were systematically excluded for 20 years from precisely the pathways that offer trajectories to the middle class, despite having skills to do the work. We can make deliberate choices to change that. Thanks @SteveLohr for covering this important work from us @OpptyatWork.
Signs of change recently, but still a corporate culture that too often neglects workers with skills but not four-year college degrees. New research from @OpptyatWork on the problem and barriers.
