STEM majors start out with a sizable wage premium, but this goes down over time since tech requires frequent upskilling. My view—this is why Universities should sell subscriptions, so as to enable this continual and necessary lifetime upskilling

Was looking back the famous Alesina-Glaeser paper on America lacking welfare state due to racism. Was curious to see their discussion of Canada, without same slavery legacy. They say Canada has comp gov to W Europe. But now, Canada looks similar to US in spending
