A Hidden Economy of High and Low Education STEM Jobs Across 100 Largest Metropolitan Areas

Brookings Institute – The Hidden Economy, 2013

Brookings Institute - Middle SkillApplied Stem Job Growth (2012)

• "As of 2011, 26 million U.S. jobs - 20 percent of all jobs - require a high level of knowledge in any one STEM field.“

• "Half of all STEM jobs are available to workers without a four-year college degree, and these jobs pay $53,000 on average - a wage 10 percent higher than jobs with similar educational requirements.“

• "STEM jobs that require at least a bachelor's degree are highly clustered in certain metropolitan areas, while sub-bachelor's STEM jobs are prevalent in every large metropolitan area."

• Any effort to construct a more effective network of pathways to prosperity will require a sea change in the role of business and other employers.

• The pathways system we envision would require employers to become deeply engaged in multiple ways at an earlier stage—in helping to set standards and design programs of study; in advising young people; and most importantly, in payoffs in the labor market.
