Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturing-led development has provided the traditional model for creating jobs and prosperity. But in the past three decades the conventional pattern of structural transformation has changed, with the services sector growing faster than the manufacturing sector. This raises critical questions about the ability of developing economies to close productivity gaps with advanced economies and to create good jobs for more people. At Your Service?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their 2004 State of the State speeches, the nation's governors cited many issues competing for their attention and their states' resources, including health care, education, crime, and security (Nodine 2004). Among the most compelling challenges were those related to economic development and the ability of a state's workforce to meet the needs of growing, high-wage industries. In response to these needs, states have been exploring a variety of strategies to increase economic vitality by building the educational and technical skills of the workforce. To support and fund these strategies, they have created a variety of policies, which have met with varying degrees of success. State officials might well look to their peers for new ideas about how to seek advantage and opportunity in an era of increased need and tight budgets. In this report, "Building Skills, Increasing Economic Vitality," the authors highlight some of the most promising and exciting developments in state workforce and skill development policy, particularly in four areas of policy innovation: (1) Redesigning financing for workforce development; (2) Strengthening Workforce Development/Economic Development Linkages; (3) Building the Capacity of New Labor Market Institutions; and (4) Expanding Community College Capacity. The states highlighted in this report (California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington) have enacted workforce development policies that are not only innovative but also have the potential to be replicated elsewhere. In this handbook for policymakers and practitioners, Jobs for the Future showcases the range of policies and approaches that states have taken and their successes in meeting ambitious goals. These approaches are not necessarily easy to implement; in fact, most states have faced significant challenges to moving ideas to adoption and implementation. What has pushed the policies along have been powerful drivers for change as well as creative solutions to making change possible. Case studies are appended.
