Less people are getting their college degree
In today's society, it is important that everyone achieves a sense of personal development in the education sector in order to better train themselves for a potential job opportunity. While America was once held in high regard for its academic system, more recent reports have challenged these notions.
A new study out of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce found that over the past 30 years, the country has been under producing the amount of college-educated workers. Analysts are worried by this notion, as it sets the U.S. back from a position it once held creating the most qualified workforce.
"The data are clear," said Anthony P. Carnevale, the Center's director and co-author of the report, "the demand for college-educated workers is growing much faster than the supply. In recession and recovery, we remain fixated on the high school jobs that are lost and not coming back. We are hurtling into a future dominated by college-level jobs unprepared."
The study suggests that if the country was to make up for the lack of postsecondary attainment, it would need to add more than 20 million higher educated workers to the economy by 2025.
