In a time of changing technology and cultural shifts, it is
difficult to measure some aspects of the workforce. Education and
the American Workforce brings together a comprehensive collection
of employment and education information from federal statistical
agencies. The Census Bureau is the leading source of quality data
about the nation's people and economy. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is the principal federal agency responsible for
measuring labor market activity, working conditions, and price
changes in the economy. Together, these agencies produce a wealth
of information about the American workforce. This book includes
information about the jobs that people hold, the occupations that
they pursue, the industries where they work, and the education
levels that people have attained. In addition to tables, each
section also includes relevant figures and highlights of notable
data. Some examples of interesting data found inside Education and
the American Workforce include: *With no formal educational
requirement and a median salary of $22,680, 4.5 million people are
employed as retail salespersons, the most of any single occupation.
Cashiers and food preparation/serving workers account for another
3.5 million each. There are 2.9 million registered nurses, the most
numerous of occupations that require a bachelor's degree. *The
biggest numeric decline is expected for Postal Service mail
carriers, dropping by about 78,000 in ten years. When combined with
other Postal Service occupations-such as clerks, sorters,
postmasters, and others-a decline of 140,000 jobs is expected for
the Postal Service. *Among the 75 largest counties, Bronx County,
NY had the highest number of residents age 25 and over with less
than a high school diploma at 29.4 percent while Montgomery County,
PA had the lowest percentage at 6.2 percent. *Meanwhile, New York
County, NY and Fairfax County, VA had the highest percentage of
residents with a bachelor's degree or higher at 59.9 percent
followed by Montgomery County, MD at 57.9 percent among the 75
largest counties. Nationally, between 2011 and 2015, 29.8 percent
of the population had a bachelor's degree or higher.
