  9. FACING THE PRESENT

  10. Almost a decade into the 21st century, we are facing a choice

  11. Option 1: Invest in basic education and skills training of our workforce and remain competitive in today’s global economy Option 2: Continue to overlook glaring evidence of a national crisis and move further down the path to decline

  12. SHORTAGE OF EDUCATED WORKERS Shortage of 14 million post-secondary educated workers by 2020

  13. WHY? • No growth of native born workforce ages 25-54 • Shrinkage of our workforce between ages of 30-49 by 3.5 million by 2015 • 80% of all new jobs created today require some form of post-secondary education/training BUT only 52% of Americans have achieved this level today

  14. AMERICA IS LOSING ITS PLACE AS A WORLD LEADER IN EDUCATION AND IS BECOMING LESS EDUCATED

  15. LOSING GROUND IN POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION TOO • U.S. had the smallest decade long increase in the share of young adults enrolled in post-secondary education • Workers 25 years and older with some post-secondary education • 20 years ago, 19% of our workforce • Next 20 years, there will only be 4%
