This ninety-five-page report - The State of American Jobs - from the Pew Research Center discusses the changing economic landscape, workers' ideas about their own commitment to retraining and honing their skillset(s), and how workers view the role of higher education as part of this process. The report is based on a national survey of more than 5,000 adults and the findings have been divided into five sections accompanied by helpful graphics, informative data, and thoughtful analysis. Readers will understand more about how workers view their needs for ongoing training, what sectors have had the most rapid employment growth, and what knowledge and skills Americans believe are most critical for their own long-term success in the marketplace. An abbreviated version of the report may be read online; the full version may be downloaded as a PDF.
