Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, 2023
The nation's workforce demands look vastly different today than they did just a few years ago.

Taylor Maag – Progressive Policy Institute, 2024
In the 21st century, education has become America's most significant marker of class privilege. People with bachelor's and advanced degrees have mostly prospered, while wages for those with less education have fallen.

Taylor Maag; Tamar Jacoby – Progressive Policy Institute, 2024
America's labor market presents a paradox. Although the unemployment rate is just 3.9%, there are more jobs open than people who can fill them. Nationwide, there are roughly 68 workers for every 100 open jobs. Many factors contribute to this workforce shortage, but one of the most significant is a growing skills gap -- millions of workers across…

Brickman, Michael – American Enterprise Institute, 2021

Less than a decade ago, the federal…
