There is also a disturbing implication in the Porter-Rivkin survey that workers themselves, along with America’s schools, are to blame for wage stagnation: If only workers were not so poor in math and science, so ill-equipped for the modern world, and so unproductive, they would earn higher incomes.
波特-李夫金调查中还有一个令人担心的推论：工人本身以及美国的学校要为工资停滞负责。如果工人的数学和科学不是那么差，对现代世界的准备不是那么差，生产率不是那么差，那么他们就可以赚到更高的所得。
