most of the articles are about specific trades, namely plumbers, but vocational schools in general have a good bit written on them.
I have also found the government sight explaining the value and meaning of k-12 education and most of it is as college prep, not necessarily has a basis for all the the information one will need.

on the Rutgers library web sight I have also found a book amount of books and articles skilled and unskilled laborers and there wadges and quality of life. I have also found a few on the overall effect that a rush to trades would have on the economy. I have been mostly unsuccessful finding opposition, mostly because no one has bothered to right on it. Any articles that are written on the value of college are in comparison to no, or very little, formal job training which is very unlike trades. Trades involve a fair amount of schooling and are rewarded with a higher pay. Skilled labor jobs are not ones that people will just wander into, they often take planning schooling and are usually a goal.
