“STEM workers play a key role in the sustained growth and stability of
the US economy, and are a critical component to helping the US win
the future”
STEM: Good Jobs Now and for the Future ,US Department of Commerce office of Economics and Statistics Administration, July 2011, http://www.esa.doc.gov/sites/default/files/reports/documents/stemfinaljuly14.pdf
WHY STEM?
STEM occupations expected to grow by 17% from 2008-2018, compared to 9.8% for non-STEM occupations
STEM workers demand higher wages, earning 26% more than their non-STEM counterparts
More than two thirds of STEM workers have at least a college degree, compared to less than one-third of non-stem workers
STEM degree holders enjoy higher earnings, regardless of whether they work in STEM or non-STEM occupations.
