Slower productivity growth rates are the result of companies' poor training policies and poor training decisions made by workers. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey youth cohort is used to study the formal training process in the private sector. Some 70% of young employees are not college graduates. Research indicates that private-sector training programs are a key factor in determining the growth of wages in this group of young employees.
