23. Economic reality reflects converging expectations. Nearly 80% of future job openings in the next decade in the U.S. will require postsecondary education or training. 45% will be in “middle skill” occupations, which require at least some postsecondary education and training. 33% will be in high skilled occupations for which a Bachelors degree or more is required. By contrast, only 22% of future job openings will be “low skill” and accessible to those with a high school diploma.
