In Robert Reich's text, "Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer," he points out some economic issues according to today. Also, he compares how people inequality back then and how it is different now by saying"All Americans used to be roughly in the same economic boat," which means the rich weren't s rich as they are now and the same goes with the poor were not as poor as now. It is made clear that the people of today become richer due to the division of labor, and the roles that people are being allocated to. Says that if you don't have at least a high school diploma, or nothing more than a high school diploma, it won't be easy to find a good job. The employer would take the college degree person over the high school diploma person if they both were fighting for a teaching position for instead. Because they have a better level of education in the field.
