The Widening Technology Talent Gap
•
1 recomendación•356 vistas
The document discusses the widening technology talent gap in the United States. It notes that STEM jobs are projected to grow 17% and 9.8% from 2008 to 2018, while non-STEM jobs will grow only 9.8%. However, the US is projected to have 122,300 computing job openings per year requiring at least a Bachelor's degree, far exceeding the number of US graduates with computer science degrees. To address this gap, the document proposes both long-term solutions like strengthening the STEM education pipeline and short-term solutions such as skilled immigration reform.
