State Middle-Skill Fact Sheets.

Forgotten Middle-Skill Jobs: State by State Snapshots

Middle-skill jobs, which require more than high-school, but not a four-year degree, make up the largest part of America's labor market. All too often, key industries in our country are unable to find enough sufficiently trained workers to fill these jobs. As a result, job creation and economic growth are stifled. We can't afford that- particularly now-in our country.

These state fact sheets show the percentage of current and future middle-skill jobs in the states, examples of high-demand middle-skill jobs, and the state's middle-skills gap. They also estimate the federal investment gap in middle-skill training.
