   Discussed

   “The low point was about 1975 to 80, actually when I graduated college. And ironically, a very well-known labor economist, a friend of mine, Richard Freeman, wrote a book in the late 70s called The Overeducated American. In which he argued that trends were suggesting that too many people were going to college.”
