The Era of Rising Skill Levels in America's Labor Force Is Drawing to a Close.
Overall skill levels in the US workforce have stagnated in the last 30 years. Measured by educational attainment, new cohorts of workforce entrants aged 25–29 and 30–34 do not possess higher skills than soon-to retire baby boomers aged 55–59.
