  2. California in 2025 … and Beyond • Previous PPIC research shows • Economy will demand more highly educated workers • Population will not have enough education to meet projected needs • Can gap be closed through migration of highly skilled workers from other states and countries?

  3. Migration Unlikely to Fill Skills Gap • Sizeable gap in projections for 2025 • 41% of jobs will require a B.A. / B.S. • 32% of adults will have a college degree • Would require an increase in high-skilled migration of unprecedented magnitude to fill the gap

  4. Outline • The coming skills gap • Recent migration patterns • Summary and policy implications

  18. Overall Slow Down in Net Migration

  19. International Immigration of College Graduates Has Increased Substantially Foreign immigration of college graduates to California 350 300 250 200 (000) 150 100 50 0 1965-70 1975-80 1985-90 1995-2000 2000-05

  24. Outline • The coming skills gap • Recent migration patterns • Summary and policy implications

  25. Migration Alone UnlikelyTo Fill Skills Gap • Domestic migration no longer provides substantial net increase in college-educated workers • International immigration has become important source of skilled workers • But annual number of college-educated immigrants would need to nearly triple to fill gap

  26. EDUCATION TRENDS WON’T KEEP PACE The problem is that education trends in California are not projected to keep pace because population growth is concentrated among groups that have typically attained lower levels of education. Immigrants and the children of immigrants will make up a large percentage of the 2025 working-age population. Up to now, this group has been among the least likely to finish high school or to attend or finish college. CA 2025

  27. Future Prospects in California: • By 2010: • Hispanics, at 42% of the population, will become the majority • Industries with the greatest growth (service, transportation, and finance) require post-high school levels of education and strong language skills • Manufacturing will only have a 3.7% growth rate

  28. Labor Demand Will Outstrip Supply: Employment Policy Foundation

  29. WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS If we don’t have the educated workforce we need, we’re potentially in a double bind: Where will the tax revenues come from to fund the transfer programs or to keep roads repaired, water clean and flowing, and schools running? Is it likely that the growing proportion of older people will be a source of high tax revenues? It is particularly ironic that as the state seeks to cope with its budget woes, we may be limiting access to our public institutions of higher education, thereby potentially limiting the source of higher tax revenues from the working population in the future.

  30. Such Vast Increases in Number of College Graduate Immigrants Unlikely • Requires change in federal policy • Past federal reforms: few and far between • Current policy favors family reunification • Senate bill uses point system to shift toward skilled workers • May not happen, may not make a difference • Increasing competition for skilled workers • From other states • From other countries, including home countries

  31. What Can California Do? • Improving college participation and graduationwill help close gap • State has important role • Preparation for bachelor’s degree in K-14 • Public university systems educate majority of college graduates (76%)

  32. Public Policy Needed We conclude that it is extremely unlikely that the projected need for highly skilled workers will be met mainly through the increased migration of college-educated workers. However, increases in college participation and graduation among California’s residents could help meet these future demands. Such increases will be at least partly induced by the wage growth that will occur as highly skilled labor becomes relatively scarce. Public policy in California, a state where the vast majority of college students are in public institutions, has an important role to play in accommodating and even encouraging such increases.

  33. Prop 92 Would Have Made a Major Difference Opening Doors for California’s Students “By aligning community college funding with growth in students, California’s community colleges will be able to open the doors to 114,824 students over the next three years.”

  34. Governor’s Budget Goes the Other Way This budget calls for reducing community college enrollment by 2% below the governor's enrollment projection, which works out to about 52,000 headcount students.
