Considerations
STEM workers command higher wages earning 26% more than their non-STEM counter parts.
Employers have indicated a significant shortage of technicians and middle-skill workers needed to implement the new technologies developed by highly skilled innovators.
Middle skill jobs represent the largest share of jobs in the Susquehanna Region – some 43.7%; high skill= 33.7%.
Two-thirds of the people who will be in Maryland’s workforce in the year 2020 were already working adults in 2005.
Considerations (continued)
TT&U, Healthcare Services, Construction, Information Technology and Manufacturing are private sector industry sectors projecting workforce needs.
76% of Private Sector establishments in the region are micro-businesses (1-9 employees) while large businesses (100+) comprise 1.8 % of establishments
STEM-related jobs will require attention to segments of theworkforce that are often overlooked in STEM discussions:incumbent workers who need skills upgrading, dislocated workers andtransitional workers who are trying to find new jobs and individualsfrom groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields
