Skills Match
Anthony P. Carnevale and Nicole Smith
Twelve million Americans are unable to find work and 40 percent of that number has been unemployed for six months or more. Authors, however, estimate the number of job vacancies in this country to be at 3 million per month. In addition, Dr. Carnevale engages in a Q&A and answers “Why are middle-skill jobs so important to growing the U.S. economy?”
