Current Skill Level Current skills as outlined by this slide must overlap with the required skills of the workforce. If not, American business will face a significant shortage of skilled workers.

(Source: The Graduate Recruitment Trends Survey, 2002/03) Only 6.6% of the workers have high levels of skills, while the market needs 40% of its workers having such skills. Unless future workers acquire such training, business will feel the impact.
