In this episode, we examine this stat from Tear the Paper Ceiling: 

Nearly 70% of new jobs insist on a bachelor’s degree, but fewer than 50% of workers have one.

Host Ian Cook is joined by Yustina Saleh, VP, Research and Value at Visier, and Angela Briggs-Paige, the Vice President of People & Culture at Opportunity@Work, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to rewire the labor market so that all workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) can work, learn, and earn to their full potential. In this episode, they discuss what the paper ceiling is, why millions of workers are being overlooked for job opportunities, and what companies can do about it.
