It's about how the administration's plans to cut adult education programs would be a blow to unemployed mill workers in North Carolina trying to get back into the workforce. You can now hear the piece on NPR's website: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4628441 John Tyler, who has done much research on the economic impact of the GED, is interviewed briefly (much of his work is available via NCSALL's site, www.ncsall.net, under research briefs, Focus on Policy, and Focus on Basics). Thanks to Gail Spangenberg for bringing this to my attention! Barb Garner Editor, Focus on basics
