Bracey eviscerates Obama on those so-called "fastest-growing" jobs, which doesn't mean crap because those "fastest-growing jobs" account for very few positions:
Similar to his inaugural address he said, "Of the 30 fastest growing occupations in America, half require a bachelor's degree or more." But, as in his inaugural, he neglected to say these occupations account for few jobs. Wal-Mart, McDonald's, etc., are the great job machines in this country. Today he added, "By 2016, four out of every 10 new jobs will require at least some advanced education or training." There's that weasel phrase again, "advanced education or training." It's meaningless except as propaganda.
The fact is only about a quarter of jobs created require a bachelor's degree, while the overwhelming majority of jobs don't require any education at all beyond high school and training can be done on the job.
