Labor projections indicate that between 1998 and 2028 there will be gap between the number of jobs requiring postsecondary experience, and the number of people with appropriate experience. Therefore, without significant training by community colleges (and other providers) there will be an under-trained US workforce, reducing productivity.

Hard Facts U. S. is losing manufacturing jobs. 80% of creativity & innovation. We must continue to be creative & innovative. Jobs of the Future require higher skills & knowledge. 40% to 60% of jobs in 2015 don’t exist~
