2:08 pm
valley, wages are high, and they are only getting higher because the labor market is so tight. it's really an opportunity for employees to pick where they want to work. the challenge we haven't silicon valley though is if you have a college degree and you are 25 years old or older, there's almost no unemployment rates. it's about 2%. if you only have a high school diploma or not even a high school diploma, you are looking at close to double digit unemployment. we as a valley and we as a nation need to do a much better job in making sure that our young people, especially the underserved ethnic communities have a better education and opportunities. scarlet: even within the white-collar world, there's a big divide between engineers and coders and investors. and other white collar jobs like doctors and lawyers. guest: doctors and lawyers, we do pretty well. but you are right. for those jobs that don't require a college degree, there is a big hit in those numbers.
