WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Reasons the U.S. economy has shiGed from an
industrial economy (driven by high school) to a service economy (driven by postsecondary) in recent years:
Today’s jobs use a variety of cogniRve and non-‐cogniRve skills at
various degrees of intensity
Interconnec-vity of various competencies (cogni-ve and non-‐cogni-ve) is required for success in the workforce.
Mechanical skills and those requiring physical prowess have declined as a requirement for success in occupa-ons over the last 150 years
The use of analy-cal and informa-on processing skills in occupa-ons
has increased drama-cally over the last 150 years
Business, management, and informa-on technology are the most important knowledge factors across occupa-ons today.
Intellectual ability is more highly valued throughout the economy than physical and mechanical abili-es.
Cogni-ve abili-es have increased, though some -‐ like oral comprehension and oral expression -‐ more than others.
