What to Know: President Trump’s recent executive order allowing many government jobs to be held by Americans who don’t have a college degree will go a long way to fight “credential inflation,” one expert says.
The TPPF Take: Credential inflation, or the increase in education requirements for a job, has been a growing problem.
“It unnecessarily reduces opportunities for many qualified workers,” says TPPF’s Andrew Gillen. “If a job doesn’t truly need a college education, yet a college education is a job requirement, then many otherwise qualified workers will be passed over, thus impeding their upward economic mobility. And it undervalues other kinds of learning.”
