Chapter 13

Question 6. In Chapter 13 the ideas of human capital and geography were very intriguing to read about, but brought up some questions that I find puzzling. Although Urban areas are losing workers and metropolitian areas are gaining workers wouldn't it still be harder to find work in a metroplitian area. The idea of a Heart Surgeon getting a job in New York is next to none. The competition factor and rigor would make it very hard for a young new worker from a small school in a small city. How can we develop a system in which every country can benefit from human capital. The one thing that can start or have an emeidate impact is schooling in those areas of the country. I believe that high in schooling in rural areas could also have an effect on the population in Iowa. When you go to Iowa you only have one Big High School per district which may or may not have well educated classes. The rigor at which is taught at many of them are probably low as well. If we could add small private schools or even add higher educated classes I think these rural areas will change. Also put inconsideration if oil becomes scarce we now turn to these rural areas to create oil in which we all can benefit from.
