The lack of writing skills to write a basic business letter or to do basic math is really hurting businesses.
Businesses must spend lots of money and time also providing remedial classes for many potential employees...even with college degrees.
I must agree. I’m amazed that almost no one writes well. I mean people holding down good jobs, white-collar jobs, with more-than-adequate paychecks. And they are challenged to peform accurate computations involving basic arithmetic.
