I also understand a significant portion of a population that refuses to increase their value, through education and development of higher grade skillsets. Opportunity is there, for most anyone willing to work hard and better themselves, to earn a fair living. Why else are tech companies and science based industries having to recruit so hard from the (S-1) visa programs? Heck, skilled and semi-skilled trade jobs are in higher demand than ever, pay for those jobs has never been higher.
Perhaps public education should adjust their focus a bit? Rather than attempting to steer everyone toward degree programs, they could do a better job of identifying those who would excel in professions requiring only an associates or trade school education. Blue collar jobs that pay are out there, the young people just don't know that they exist, because their not being shown or directed toward them.
I've advocated for such educational changes many times in the past.

Shh, I'm winning them over to the side of big government!
