MEDIA COVERAGE

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics workers are the source of growth and innovation, but meeting the economy’s demand for these critical skills will be challenging.

Key Findings

The disproportionate influence of STEM raises a persistent concern that we are not producing enough STEM workers to compete successfully in the global economy. We find that this concern is warranted – but not for the reasons traditionally claimed.

The growing demand for STEM talent allows and encourages the diversion of students and workers with STEM competencies.

More lucrative jobs requiring STEM competencies are approaching STEM workers for their skill set.

65% of Bachelor’s degree holders in STEM earn more han Master’s degree holders.
