Dale Masterson 04Oct12 STEM Jobs Grow Faster, Pay Better STEM jobs grew at 3x rate of non-STEM jobs over past decade and are expected to continue to grow at higher- than-average rate over the next decade. (Business Journals as reported in ASEE “First Bell”, July 26, 2011) STEM workers earned 26% more than non-STEM workers. (Business Journals as reported in ASEE “First Bell”, July 26, 2011) “Over 1 million jobs in science & technology will open up in America this year, but only 200,000 new graduates will have the skills to fill them”. (CEO of Dow Chemical in The Economist, July 2011) Of Boeing’s 100,000 employees world-wide, 50% of their engineers will be at retirement age in next 5 years (reported Boeing Senior VP during visit to Cal September 2011) Number of college graduates doubled in U.S. in last 20 years, but number of graduating engineers has remained flat (Paul Otellini, President/CEO Intel, member President’s Council on Jobs & Competitiveness,speaking at Stay With It! Campaign March 2012)
