My guess is support for jobs guarantees, like support for Free College, comes not from belief they will give economic security but from a universal yearning for sections of life cordoned off from the marketplace that perversely now has no acceptable outlet but "school" and "work"https://twitter.com/lymanstoneky/status/989132201609572352 …

Right. We’ve mostly been selected to be put to work, not to seek work out and compete for it from strangers. Plenty of people would accept smaller salaries to forgo the job search.

One point I've heard made (and agree with) is Teach for America's big insight was making applying for your first job after college feel like applying to college from high school- a structured, prestigious competitive process that seems to care about "you," not just your skills.

I buy that. That sense of a somewhat circumscribed competitive arena is important in general, snd while we naturally generate them through social and professional networks, it’s hard for the young, lonely, or marginal to get a handle.

Not to mention the overlapping factor of being recruited into an undertaking that appeals to so many.
