Abstract: There are two Americas today: one for the college educated, and one for those without four-year degrees. Workers in these economies are worlds apart—the type of work they do, how they receive their pay, when they start their workday, and the benets they get from employment are night and day. College graduates have double the yearly income, four times the retirement savings, and four times the net worth of working age, non-college Americans. Non-college workers are ve times more likely to be in poverty and lack health insurance, and more likely to move because of economic trouble. There are four times as many working the night shift, and three times as many not working at all.
