Filling America's Skilled Worker Shortage: The Role of Career Colleges (2008)

This report presents a comprehensive review of the U.S. labor force skills shortage by industry, and the role of career colleges in meeting the high demand for industries such as business and management, computers and communication, education, healthcare, legal and personnel, and culinary. It also contains an overview comparison showing which educational sectors are currently providing the training for the different specialties, and the increase expected over the next ten years of the number of new jobs resulting from growth and replacement of workers leaving each industry on a national and state profile basis. Filling America’s Skilled Worker Shortage is an important tool for education administrators, policymakers, investor groups, and college owners and operators to assess current and projected labor trends facing the U.S. labor force.
