Answer to Question 1

More educated citizens are more likely to find jobs in higher-status occupations than those with less education. This is not surprising because occupational status and working conditions are highly related to the skills and education demanded in the most competitive professions and fields, where salaries are higher. A person cannot become a surgeon or a lawyer (both high-status and high-paying occupations), for example, without an advanced degree and highly specialized training. Education transmits knowledge, skills, and values that employers believe increase productivity. Employers, therefore, pay educated workers more than less educated workers because they are more productive and generate more value for the business or organization. Education also signals to employers that people have the desired abilities and attitudes to do a job well, regardless of whether they actually acquired those traits in their formal schooling or elsewhere.
