Some links on jobs that I haven't had the chance to read

...but looked worth reading

- The Wall Street Journal has a critical examination of job training programs. What's simultaneously useful, interesting, and a little strange is that the article provides a history of evaluations of job training programs.

- The Economist has a special report on "the future of jobs". The first article in the series is here, but on the left hand side there are links to all the others. Also in this issue, but not in the special report is an article on youth joblessness - an important problem in the rest of the world that the U.S. has avoided for a while - but is starting to experience more of now.
