Patrice Onwuka: Policy Focus: Fighting Degree Inflation

Patrice Onwuka joins the podcast to discuss this month’s policy focus: Degree Inflation, which requires more education than is necessary for workers to succeed in their jobs. We review the origins of the four-year degree push, consider how it has become a barrier to opportunity for many workers, and discuss the steps many employers are taking to eliminate the unintended consequences. Patrice Onwuka is the director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at Independent Women’s Forum. Patrice co-hosts WMAL-FM’s morning show O’Connor & Company, the leading talk radio station in the DC area every Friday. Patrice is also a senior adjunct fellow with The Philanthropy Roundtable and a Tony Blankley Fellow at The Steamboat Institute.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today’s news cycle and are seeking the truth.
