The document discusses several topics related to education and the job market. It notes that health care jobs will see significant growth. It also discusses how more jobs will require higher education and training in soft skills like communication. The document highlights challenges in education including improving graduation rates and transferring credits between schools. It suggests the U.S. needs to improve education to remain competitive globally and that reinventing education, not just reforming it, is needed.

2. Bad for Boomers, worse if you’re 15-24
Ugly for Men
• Boomer unemployment is low BUT 50% of early retirements are non-
voluntary with:
– workers offered a choice between early retirement and being fired or
– having to take care of a sick spouse
Unemployment rises to 8.2% in
May for the first time in nine
months

3. Unemployment Sucks
• “The Real Tragedy of Persistent Unemployment: It erodes
the skills of the labor force and reduces future productivity”
Mohamed A. El-erian, CEO and co-CIO of PIMCO, one of the world’s largest bond investors
with approximately US$1.77 trillion of assets under management as of March 31, 2012.
• Are we adding jobs?
“Businesses hired shockingly few workers in May, throwing into
doubt the strength of the economic recovery. Only 69,000
jobs were added May 2012, the weakest growth in a year.”
• When Will Employment Recover?
–208,000: Avg. monthly rate for best year in 2000s
–321,000: Avg. monthly rate for best year in 1990s
–471,000: Most jobs created in one month in 2000s

4. Any hopeful signs?
• Residential housing permits are up
1 in 3 construction jobs disappeared during the recessions. We saw an 80%
decline in residential housing permits. It will take 10 years to get back
construction we lost in 5 years. Construction grew 8.6% in 2011 but that
trend won’t continue. Still, construction should see a slow, steady
increase.

5. Skills are needed
Unemployment will remain high in 2012 in many
countries, but for companies everywhere a
shortage of workers with the skills they need will
become a severe problem.
In 2011 a survey by Manpower found that 34%
of employers worldwide were having trouble
filling jobs, with technicians, salespeople,
skilled-trades workers and engineers the
hardest to find.

10. Things to Know About the Job Market of the Future
“US News & World Report”, By Liz Wolgemuth Posted: July 13, 2009
Health care will be the energizer bunny of hiring
Pent-up demand will give way to short-term shopping sprees and new jobs: "The large
declines in household wealth make it unlikely that consumers will return to their low-saving
ways. But, it is possible that consumers will … purchase some of the cars, appliances, and
other goods they have put off buying since the recession began.
New consumer habits will change the retail industry for good: "Retail trade is projected to
contract somewhat in terms of employment share, partly because the growth in consumer
spending is expected to slow going forward.“
Amazon achieves record sales in Q4 2010
More and more jobs will require higher education: "Occupations requiring higher
educational attainment are projected to grow much faster than those with lower education
requirements, with the fastest growth among occupations that require an associate’s degree or
a post-secondary vocational award."
Workers may need to be trained in communicating and working well with others: 'greater
student self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-control' are key indicators that students are
able to effectively learn and succeed in a modern post-secondary environment."

14. Privacy? How outdated
Consumer Rights Group Says Google Broke its Promise By SOMINI SENGUPTA| February 8, 2012
Less than a year ago, Google made a deal with the government. It promised the Federal Trade Commission it
would seek its users’ consent before changing the way any Google products share personal information.
On [February 1], a consumer watchdog pressed the Federal Trade Commission to hold the Internet giant
accountable to its promise. The Electronic Privacy Information Center, based in Washington, cited Google’s
recent announcement that it would combine the user data it collects from all of its different products, in effect
compiling what an individual searches on Google with what is posted on YouTube, Google Plus and other
Google properties.
Scared much?
When Kenneth G. Lieberthal, a China expert at the Brookings Institution, travels to that country, he follows a
routine that seems straight from a spy film.
•He leaves his cellphone and laptop at home and instead brings “loaner” devices, which he erases before he
leaves the United States and wipes clean the minute he returns.
•In China, he disables Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, never lets his phone out of his sight and, in meetings, not only turns
off his phone but also removes the battery, for fear his microphone could be turned on remotely.
•He connects to the Internet only through an encrypted, password-protected channel, and copies and pastes
his password from a USB thumb drive.
•He never types in a password directly, because, he said, “the Chinese are very good at installing key-logging
software on your laptop.”

15. Sustainability
Continued economic growth—coupled with 1.2 billion more
people by 2025—
will put pressure on energy, food, and water resources.
The pace of technological innovation will be key to
outcomes during this period.

28. Education
Higher Education Shaping the
Global Landscape in 2025
As global business grows increasingly borderless and labor markets more
seamless, education has become a key determinant of countries’
economic performance and potential.
Adequate primary education is essential, but the quality
and
accessibility of secondary and higher education will
be even more important for determining whether societies
successfully graduate up the value-added production ladder.
Predictions of a shortage of American math and science professionals have grown dire.
Ken Robinson Changing Education Paradigms

29. Will China Outsmart the U.S.?
Our global competitiveness is based on being the origin of the
newest, best ideas. How will we fare if those ideas originate
somewhere else? The answers range from scary to scarier.
Education as an Economic Issue
“I’m about to get really big-picture on you: This country is in a
significant crisis in education, and we don’t know it. If you look
at other countries, like Singapore—Singapore’s knocking it
out of the box. Why? Because the number-one strategy in
their economic plan is education.” Michelle Rhee
Time to Step it Up
In 2011, 1 in 10 admissions applications to Grinnell College in Iowa came from China.
Half of them had a perfect score of 800 on the math portion of the SAT.

30. Hilary Pennington , the Gates Foundation
Key Points from a speech at the American Council on Education
• “Higher education has done a remarkable job of increasing college access. The
entering class at most colleges today looks like America. But the graduating class
does not. The students who walk across the stage are overwhelmingly white.”
• “Over the next ten years, the number of working-age Hispanics will increase 83
percent. The number of African-Americans in the workforce is projected to grow
23 percent. And we know who our educational system serves the worst. Hispanics
and African-Americans.”
• “At a time when funding is down and our aspirations are up, business as usual
won’t get us where we need to go.”
• Credits are too difficult to transfer, wasting time and money.
• Developmental Education isn’t working. “It’s education’s Bermuda Triangle–
students enter it and most are never seen or heard from again.”
• Effective programs can be scaled and modeled across more schools.

31. TEDxNYED - April 28, 2012 - Tony Wagner
the first Innovation Education Fellow at the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard
• Education does not need reform, it needs reinvention
• Set of core competencies:
3. Critical thinking and problem solving
4. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence
5. Agility and adaptability
6. Initiative and entrepreneurialism
7. Effective oral and written communication
8. Accessing and analyzing information
9. Curiosity and imagination

32. Oregon Ed Reform
http://www.oregon.gov/Gov/OEIB/Docs/PFDraftMergedCompacts.pdf?ga=t
“Oregon intends to develop one of the best-educated citizenries in the world.
The State of Oregon, has established an educational policy that by 2025, 100% of Oregon
students will have successfully earned an education degree, which represents achievement of a
quality education.
Specifically, the state will achieve the following (known as 40/40/20) for Oregonians aged
25-34 in 2025: 40 percent of adult Oregonians will have earned a bachelor's degree
or higher; 40 percent of adult Oregonians will have earned an associate’s degree or
postsecondary credential as their highest level of educational attainment; and 20
percent of all adult Oregonians will have earned at least a high school diploma, an
extended or modified high school diploma, or the equivalent of a high school diploma as their
highest level of educational attainment.”
If we do nothing Oregon is headed for :
30% bachelor's degree or higher
18% associate’s degree or postsecondary credential
42% at least a high school diploma
10 percent high school dropouts

33. GovernmentCrisis
Futurist Thomas Frey sees a System
Micronations
• Many of the global systems we currently have in place are on the verge of breaking. Most global
systems have evolved out of a patchwork of kluged-together national systems, and have not
been designed to properly manage the speed, volume, and excessive nature of today’s society.
We are in need of a complete systems overhaul, transitioning us from national systems to global
systems.
• Because we have had little ability to experiment with new systems in the past, we will be taking
blind shots in the dark, best-guessing our way forward. National systems will fight to survive, but
will flounder because of complexity overload.
• Look for major failures to occur in most systems over the coming years including our tax systems,
justice systems, social security, monetary systems, and much more. On the flip side, also pay
close attention to the opportunities these failures will create.
The Economist Magazine
“Over the past half-century the productivity of just about every part of the world
economy has been transformed by technology and new ideas. With the possible
exception of Japanese retailing, no sector anywhere has changed less than
[government]. The idea’s time has come: making citizens more responsible for what
the state does”.

Square and streamed it live via YouTube around the world. "YouTube gives us a worldwide audience," says
band manager Paul Korzilius while on the road in Japan. He says the YouTube team globally marketed the
show from Britain to Japan and let Bon Jovi use its new moderator tool to give fans an opportunity to
interact, helping the band pick the concert's set list. ‘The numbers are mind-boggling when it's all said and
done," he says. "The record debuted in the top five in more than 20 markets around the world. It definitely
worked as far as selling the record.’ "

40. One of the greatest changes is that a college degree
• One of the greatest changes is that a college degree is no longer the guarantor of a middle-class existence.
Until the early 1970s, less than 11 percent of the adult population graduated from college, and most of
them could get a decent job. Today nearly a third have college degrees, and a higher percentage of them
graduated from nonelite schools. A bachelor’s degree on its own no longer conveys intelligence and
capability. To get a good job, you have to have some special skill — charm, by the way, counts — that
employers value. But there’s also a pretty good chance that by some point in the next few years, your boss
will find that some new technology or some worker overseas can replace you.
• Though it’s no guarantee, a B.A. or some kind of technical training is at least a prerequisite for a decent
salary. It’s hard to see any great future for high-school dropouts or high-school graduates with no technical
skills. They most often get jobs that require little judgment and minimal training, like stocking shelves,
cooking burgers and cleaning offices. Employers generally see these unskilled workers as commodities —
one is as good as any other
• Many workers have lost a near guarantee on a decent wage and benefits — and their careers are likely to
have much more volatility (great years; bad years; confusing, mediocre years) than their parents’ ever did.
Meanwhile, [we] should go to school, learn some skills and prepare for a rocky road.

5 Hardest Jobs to Fill in 2012 from INC magazine
Software Engineers and Web Developers
The demand for top-tier engineering talent sharply outweighs the supply in almost every market especially in San Francisco, New York, and Boston. This is a
major, major pain point and problem that almost every company is facing, regardless of the technology "stack" their engineers are working on.
• Creative Design and User Experience
After engineers, the biggest challenge for companies is finding high-quality creative design and user-experience talent. Since almost every company is trying
to create a highly compelling user experience that keeps people engaged with their product, it is tough to find people who have this type of
experience (especially with mobile devices including tablets) and a demonstrated track record of success.
• Product Management
It is always helpful for an early-stage company to hire someone who has very relevant and specific experience in your industry. This is especially true for
product management, since the person in this role will interface with customers and define the product strategy and use cases. However, be
prepared, as it will be a challenge to find people with experience in these high-growth industries: consumer web, e-commerce, mobile, software as a
service, and cloud computing.
• Marketing
I'm not talking about old-school marketing communications. Companies are looking for expert online marketers who know how to create a buzz of
inbound marketing or viral traffic through the web, social media, and content discovery. Writing a good press release just doesn't cut it anymore,
as everyone is looking for the savvy online marketing professional who understands how the current state of the web operates and knows how to
make it work to their benefit.
• Analytics
Since data is becoming more and more accessible, smart companies are increasingly making decisions driven by metrics. Analytics is becoming a central hub
across companies where everything (web, marketing, sales, operations) is being measured and each decision is supported by data. Thus, we are
seeing a high level of demand for analytics and business intelligence professionals who almost act like internal consultants; they help determine what
should be measured and then build out the capability for a company.

45. Interests
Preferences for work environments and outcomes.
Realistic — Realistic occupations frequently involve work activities that include practical, hands-
on problems and solutions. They often deal with plants, animals, and real-world materials like
wood, tools, and machinery. Many of the occupations require working outside, and do not
involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others.
Investigative — Investigative occupations frequently involve working with ideas, and require an
extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve searching for facts and figuring
out problems mentally.
Artistic — Artistic occupations frequently involve working with forms, designs and patterns. They
often require self-expression and the work can be done without following a clear set of rules.
Social — Social occupations frequently involve working with, communicating with, and teaching
people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others.
Enterprising — Enterprising occupations frequently involve starting up and carrying out projects.
These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they
require risk taking and often deal with business.
Conventional — Conventional occupations frequently involve following set procedures and
routines. These occupations can include working with data and details more than with ideas.
Usually there is a clear line of authority to follow.
