Should America have more workers moving through apprenticeship programs? Taylor Maag is the Director of Workforce Development Policy at PPI and joins the show to talk about apprenticeships. We discuss whether apprenticeships make sense for the modern economy, whether our current labor market policies are too focused on 'college for all', and if the government should be in the business of subsidizing apprenticeships.
