Newsweek article of interest

[Doug Johnson <palsdaj@VAX1.MANKATO.MSUS.EDU>]

Hi folks,

Good article in the March 21 Newsweek (p78) titled "The Information Gap."

To quote:

"Last month Laura D'Andrea Tyson, chariman of the Council of Economic
Advisors, released a study showing that in all job categories, from clerks
to professionals, people who know how to work with computers earn more than
those who don't. In fact, the difference between the two groups accounts
for half the increasing wage gap between high-school and college
graduates."

Use it with your administration, PTOs, and school board. I know I will.

Doug
