Many Americans and Canadians advocate that education is the key to solve the structural unemployment problem.

If they are mentioning college level career education such as welding, then I don't know much about it and can't say anything really.

But, if they are talking about post-secondary academic education, then they are ignoring the problem that university academic education probably is increasingly irrelevant both to the real world and to the truths so that it is actually scuttling the labor market instead of helping it.
