Higher-education attainment would be key to jobs, prosperity Every
gubernatorial campaign website that pops up these days predictably
features a page called “Issues” or “Priorities” and in these early
stages they all have an “under construction” look. It’s a good bet
that all of the 20-odd candidates and explorers are right now huddling
with their inner circles and top advisers and trying to put some meat
— some substantive policy analysis and prescriptions — on those bones.
And an unscientific survey of the content suggests that “jobs” is the
most frequent theme. Here’s an even better place to start, a can’t-
miss campaign centerpiece and a top policy goal for those issues-and-
agenda pages: Let’s set an end-of-decade, breathtakingly bold goal of
a 50 percent increase in the percentage of our young adults who have
some sort of higher-education credential on their resumes.
