Human: If we could help people who are illiterate couldn't that solve our current not enough people for entry level jobs crisis? Assistant: 
Yes, expanded adult education and literacy programs, especially in low income and disadvantaged communities, have many benefits. Increasing literacy among adults both helps individual families and also builds the skills and capacity of the larger community, making positive impacts on community development, teen pregnancy rates, crime and unemployment, and for young children. Literacy programs also help people get jobs and improve economic productivity of the city or state by increasing workforce participation and lowering unemployment rates.
