16. Sorry but education is not THE total answer anymore
There is a shrinking job market as was stated by someone else here. Add to that the inherent prejudices associated with stereotypes and bigotry and you still have a problem--which I really don't think we have a clue as to how to solve it.

Affirmative action is a double edged sword--helping minorities but heaping on more stereotypical baggage.

Ultimately, there has to be some growth, some new job markets created which hopefully, will absorb all those who are educated but that just isn't possible now. It would be wonderful to have zero percent unemployment.
