Formerly, positions with solid incomes and security were available in manufacturing for those with a high school education or less. Postindustrial economy has increased number of jobs for those with high levels of skill and training and jobs in the service sector for those with less education. Service jobs fail to provide living wages and benefits. Those with higher education are more likely to participate in the paid labor force.
