education’. The real question is why an employer hires an economics graduate in product design, or a civil engineer in marketing. Michael Spence received the Nobel prize for his Harvard thesis, where he proposed the idea of job market signalling, a foundational concept in labour economics. Here’s how to understand the way employers read signals, and apply this to stand out. Education Individuals acquire credentials or education not necessarily because it will help them contribute directly to work productivity, but because these signal a higher ability to potential employers and help land better jobs. Most valuable education courses have either entry or exit barriers. So, tough entrance exams like JEE, NEET and CAT are a high entry barrier to top institutes, and clearing chartered accountancy exams is a high exit barrier. The tougher the course, the stronger the signal for the job market, and better returns in compensation. A clear hierarchy plays out in course and college selection. It’s no surprise that, on an average, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) degrees from institutes that are tough to get into, signal higher capability and result in above-average salaries. Use this idea to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of academic qualifications that you choose to pursue.

Bihar's economy has grown faster than the national economy. Its annual growth rate averaged 7% during the 2000s, and 7.5% during the 2010s (until 2019-20). In comparison, the national economy grew at 6.3% and 6.6% annually during these periods, respectively. Bihar has also made remarkable progress in closing the gap in education, health and basic amenities. Its gross enrolment ratio (GER), sex ratio at birth, life expectancy, infant mortality, and availability of electricity, drinking water and sanitation have improved significantly to levels only slightly below the national average. Yet, in terms of per-capita income, it has remained India's poorest state. This is due to a very low level of initial income preceding the growth spurt and a high population growth rate, which inhibited conversion of higher GDP into the acceleration of per-capita income.

Joe Biden is one of the most unpopular presidents in modern American history. In Gallup polling, his approval ratings are lower than those of any president embarking on a reelection campaign, from Dwight Eisenhower to Donald Trump. Yet an air of mystery hangs around his lousy polling numbers. As The Washington Free Beacon's Joe Simonson noted recently, just surfing around most U.S. media and pop culture, you probably wouldn't realize that Biden's job approval ratings are quite so historically terrible, worse by far than Trump's at the same point in his first term.

Yale hopped aboard. Brown joined them this week, and although other Ivies say they’re holding firm on keeping the SAT optional, news reports suggest that Penn, too, might soon be headed back to the future. It seems increasingly clear that the anti-SAT movement was just a fad. Like many fads, this one had people joining in without taking the time to think things through. The determination to do something about racial injustice was in the air and activists had been campaigning against standardized tests for years. They made an easy target — and once one or two schools dropped them, following along was the path of least resistance. It’s called the bandwagon effect — the tendency to do what other people are doing without pausing to figure out whether those others are right. The schools now reversing course acted too fast in dropping the tests, without the thoughtful consideration that higher education should exemplify.
