Employment
from spinoff jobs where high technology industry is strong, a broad view of re-skilled
and entry-skilled workers in health care, communications and other fields
implementing technology, and veterans’ re-entry and federal agency jobs paint a
brighter picture of the domestic economy than fretting about “fiscal cliffs.”
Snippets from the five pages below help us look further than Congress’ gridlock
and panic mode to the education and employment that are really happening in the
U.S. today coming out of the past four years.

“Ripple Effect of Tech Hiring,” (pub
Friday, 7 December, 2012) p 1A.
“…As
expected, California, particularly the Bay Area, leads in high-tech jobs. In
the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara area, 28.8 percent of all jobs were in high
tech last year, tops in the nation. That percentage was 12.2 percent in San
Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, and 9.7 percent in Oakland-Fremont-Hayward…
‘"The
Googles and the Apples of the world are bringing tremendous wealth to this
region, and that money is filtering its way throughout the entire economy,’ (economist
and research manager Ian) Hathaway said in an interview.…
The
findings of the report, commissioned by Engine Advocacy, a nonprofit San
Francisco public policy group that represents entrepreneurs, startups and
investors, are similar to a study by Enrico Moretti, a UC Berkeley economics
professor.
Moretti,
who published his findings in May in his book "The New Geography of
Jobs," said he found that five jobs were created for every one new tech
job over the course of 10 years. Both studies, Moretti said, should dispel
misconceptions that the rise of high tech will shove older jobs aside.”

“Riding the Waves of Change: Leading Strategies
for a Diverse Economy” This page links Workforce Education grads and
educators from all over the country in the high-need and high-tech industries
supported over the past four years by the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act as well as foundations and sponsors like the John D. and Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation, the Surdna Foundation and Joyce and James Irvine
Foundations that are working to move the country forward through programs in community
colleges, small businesses and neighborhood industries who need good skilled
workers. Note the Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce
link --
“in
Career and Technical Education: Five Ways that Pay, the researchers show there
are 29 million jobs (21% of all jobs) for workers without Bachelor's degrees.
The report also details five major sub-baccalaureate, career and technical
education (CTE) pathways: employer-based training, industry-based
certifications, apprenticeships, postsecondary certificates, and associate's
degrees.” (10 December, 2012) http://cew.georgetown.edu/ctefiveways/(10 December, 2012)
Federal
and Veterans’ job situations are not as dire as we’re led to believe – 48 thousand
jobs sound pretty good to me. Legal, administrative, medical and public health
for starters.
