Summary:

More than 30 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or have given up on looking for a job. Undoubtedly, the massive economic downturn after the financial crisis of 2007-2008 is a key factor in this situation. But the reason why the U.S. job market has stalled is not because employers cannot create enough jobs for the workers. The real problem is that our nation is failing to produce workers with the right skills. Our summary of this book provides practical information for businesses seeking qualified workers, unemployed or underemployed individuals, and those interested in changing careers. It reveals that most promising jobs and careers of the next decade for early-career job seekers and workers with established careers looking to change their path, and offers powerful strategies for solving the jobs and skills disconnect in America.
