Carnevale, Anthony; Smith, Nicole; Strohl, Jeff – Community College Journal, 2013
By 2020, 65 percent of all jobs in the economy will require postsecondary education and training beyond high school.

Ryan, Chris; Sinning, Mathias – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2012

Tomkiewicz, Joseph; Bass, Kenneth; Robinson, Joanna – College Student Journal, 2012
During periods of economic turmoil and uncertainty, employment opportunities are often greatly diminished.
