Yeah, I bet that'll build your critical thinking

Check out the Midmorning page and listen to the audio of a chat with Philip Babcock of the University of California Santa Barbara and Jen Day Shaw of the University of Florida.

Students are studying far less than they did decades ago, and that might be showing up in the earning gap.

The subject was part of a report I linked to in a previous Notes in the Margins, and it showed that students were studying only 58% as long as they did 40 years ago.
