Summary: More than 36 million adults in America can not read or write at the most basic level. More than 60 million lack basic math skills necessary to work a cash register or understand a bus schedule. Every year , one in three young adults drop out of high school. Nearly half of the U.S. workforce today, approximately 52 million adults, has only a high school education or less, while 25 million workers aged 18 to 64 lack even a high school diploma or GED. This is an important conversation with Ryan Breisch. Adult Education is needed NOW.
