  3. CPIM Certification Marketing Wanted: educated work force for the U.S. No one is sure how to fix an American education system that churns out workers who are unprepared for the U.S. labor market. But there is a near unanimous consensus that the business community needs to take a leadership role if the U.S. wants to maintain its competitive edge in the global economy. “The ability to succeed in the 21st century is all about the race for human talent. That challenge will get harder and harder and harder if we don’t fix the education problem,” Thomas J. Donohue, president and chief executive officer of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a speech in September to the Education and Workforce Summit of the Institute for a Competitive Workforce in Washington. http://www.financialweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071228/REG/547429361/1036 Advancing Productivity, Innovation, and Competitive Success

  13. CPIM Certification Marketing How my company and I benefit from education In the New Economy, which puts a premium on speed and flexibility, an educated workforce is critical to increasing productivity and fostering innovation. In fact, knowledge-based jobs (those requiring post-secondary, vocational, or higher education) grew from around 27 percent of total employment in the United States in 1983 to 31 percent in 1993, and are expected to grow to 33 percent in 2006. For individuals, educational attainment equals opportunity. Since the 1970s, those with a college degree have seen their wages go up, while those with only a high school degree or less have seen their wages fall. http://www.neweconomyindex.org/states/1999/part1_page3.html Advancing Productivity, Innovation, and Competitive Success
