xvi, 158 p. : tabs., notes, index ; 22 cm. Workforce 2020 is the sequel to Workforce 2000, a book on the American workforce which has been enormously popular and influential since its release in the late 1980s. Skilled cartographers at Hudson Institute offers best ideas about what lies ahead and what Americans - collectively and individually, in large and small firms, in federal agencies and in small-town development commissions – should do to prepare for journey to Workforce 2020. What explains Workforce 2020’s success in penetrating thousands of homes and generating hundreds of articles in response? It challenged the conventional wisdom. It showed that the workforce of the future would no longer consist primarily of white males in manufacturing jobs. Instead, women and minority workers would become increasingly more prominent. The book also pointed to the looming “skilled gap” between what a well-educated labor force needed in a global economy and what a failing primary-and secondary-education system in the United Stated would equip workers to do.
