A pervasive disconnect exists between the job/career culture and
the present economic reality in America. This book offers powerful
strategies for stemming the employment crisis and proposes
comprehensive solutions for businesses, government, and job seekers
alike. More than 30 million Americans are unemployed,
underemployed, or have given up on looking for a job. Undoubtedly,
the massive economic downturn after the financial crisis of
2007-2008 is a key factor in this situation. But the U.S. job
market has stalled because our nation is failing to produce workers
with the right skills, not because we cannot create enough jobs for
the workers. Future Jobs: Solving the Employment and Skills Crisis
offers an economic and historical perspective on the evolution of
jobs and careers, explains how technology has permanently altered
the U.S. job/labor market, and provides practical information for
businesses seeking qualified workers, educators preparing students
for careers, unemployed or underemployed individuals, and those
interested in changing careers. The book examines the problem of
the mismatch between individuals' skills and employers' job needs
from the perspectives of both employers and employees or
prospective employees, offering comprehensive regional solutions to
the issues each group faces. The author reveals the most promising
jobs and careers of the next decade for early-career job seekers
and workers with established careers looking to change their path,
and provides potential solutions to the jobs and skills disconnect
in America, including education reform, business and government
policy changes, and regional public-private partnerships. Explains
how the current job skills crisis stems from a broad structural
failure of the education-to-employment system and has sweeping
societal and economic consequences Identifies the "hot jobs" of the
current decade and the requisite skills and educational preparation
needed to obtain them Describes how digital technology has
permanently altered the nature of the U.S. and global job/labor
market Provides information critical to a wide audience: businesses
seeking to fill vacant jobs, community organizations and
governments trying to attract new enterprises and retain current
businesses, educators preparing students for careers, and students
and parents concerned about job and career options
