My home turf of Alberta has a labor shortage and high wages yet has the lowest participation rate for post-secondary education in Canada. A kid can quit school and and make $20 an hour at a low paying job or $30 if he's lucky and end up working 12 hour days for weeks on end, most of it overtime.
I always wonder whether relating education to compensation is a meaningful measurement. Are we sure the correct correlation isn't smart people to compensation.
