Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Barnow, Trutko, and Piatak focus on whether persistent occupation-specific labor shortages might lead to inefficiencies in the U.S. economy. They describe why shortages arise, the difficulty in ascertaining that a shortage is present, and how to assess strategies to alleviate the shortage. Four occupations are used as test cases: 1) special education teachers, 2) pharmacists, 3) physical therapists, and 4) home health and personal care aides. For each of these occupations the authors summarize evidence that reveals whether it is currently or has recently experienced a labor shortage and suggest possible ways to alleviate the shortage if it is present. The authors close with a chapter discussing their conclusions and potential uses for occupational shortage data, including in helping determine immigration policy. They also discuss the limited nature of the occupational data currently collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and how the federal and state governments could expand their data collection efforts to assist policy formation."--Publisher's website

This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skilled technical occupationsâ€"defined as occupations that require a high level of knowledge in a technical domain but do not require a bachelor's degree for entryâ€"are a key component of the U.S. economy. In response to globalization and advances in science and technology, American firms are demanding workers with greater proficiency in literacy and numeracy, as well as strong interpersonal, technical, and problem-solving skills. However, employer surveys and industry and government reports have raised concerns that the nation may not have an adequate supply of skilled technical workers to achieve its competitiveness and economic growth objectives. In response to the broader need for policy information and advice, Building America's Skilled Technical Workforce examines the coverage, effectiveness, flexibility, and coordination of the policies and various programs that prepare Americans for skilled technical jobs. This report provides action-oriented recommendations for improving the American system of technical education, training, and certification.
Download or read book Future Jobs written by Edward E. Gordon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pervasive disconnect exists between the job/career culture and the present economic reality in America. This book offers powerful strategies for stemming the employment crisis and proposes comprehensive solutions for businesses, government, and job seekers alike. America's low unemployment rate overshadows the fact that more that 20 million Americans are still unemployed. Moreover, more than eight million jobs are vacant because employers cannot find qualified candidates. It is projected that if this imbalance between available positions and skills is not quickly addressed, more than 14 million jobs will be vacant by 2020, and that many more people out of work. In Future Jobs, historical economist Edward E. Gordon explains how increasingly complex technologies, global demographic shifts, and outdated education-to-employment systems are converging and may imminently cause a labor-market crisis. How can we ensure that enough people possess the skills necessary to holding the jobs of today and tomorrow? This book points to a solution gaining traction across the United States: Regional Talent Innovation Networks (RETAINs), alliances of businesses, educators, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations that successfully bridge the talent gap. Additionally, it provides information on the most promising jobs and careers of the next decade for early-career job seekers and for workers who are looking to change career paths.

Book excerpt: "This report aims to improve our understanding of the causes of skill shortages, the way businesses respond and the short-term consequences of skill shortages. Reponses from small- and medium-sized businesses reveal that skill shortages matter, but that their relationship to firm performance differs according to the nature of the skill shortage. The findings confirm that skill shortages are a complex labour market phenomenon and give rise to complex responses by firms." - NCVER website.

For Civil Service Exam aspirants, a thorough understanding of economics is indispensable, as it equips you with the knowledge to analyze and address the pressing issues facing our country and the world. The Importance of Economics in Civil Services Economics forms a crucial part of the Civil Service Exam syllabus, reflecting its importance in governance and administration. As future civil servants, you will be required to make informed decisions that can influence economic growth, social welfare, and overall national development.

You will learn about different types of markets, including perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly, and how they function. National Income and Economic Indicators Understanding how to measure an economy’s performance is critical. We cover essential economic indicators like Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Product (GNP), inflation, and unemployment rates. These indicators provide insights into the health of an economy and are vital for policy-making. Money and Banking The role of money in the economy, the functioning of banks, and the significance of financial markets are explored in detail. You will learn about monetary policy, the workings of the Reserve Bank of India, and how financial institutions influence economic stability and growth. Public Finance This section delves into government revenue and expenditure, focusing on fiscal policy and its implications for the economy. Topics such as taxation, public debt, and budget deficits are discussed to provide an understanding of how governments manage economic resources. International Trade and Finance In an increasingly globalized world, understanding international economics is crucial. We discuss trade theories, balance of payments, exchange rates, and the impact of globalization on national economies. The roles of international organizations like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are also covered. Economic Development and Planning Economic development is a major goal for any government. This part of the book examines the strategies and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development. Issues such as poverty, inequality, and environmental sustainability are addressed, along with the role of planning in economic development. Contemporary Economic Issues The final chapters focus on current economic challenges and trends. Topics like digital economy, climate change, and economic reforms are discussed to provide a contemporary perspective. Understanding these issues is crucial for aspiring civil servants who will be at the forefront of addressing them.
