Today, America’s economy looks like an hourglass. Job growth is concentrated at the top and bottom, while the middle is increasingly whittled away. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher will account for 29 percent of total job growth from 200 to 2010. Many of these new jobs are what we think of as “hot jobs”—those clustered in the tech and computer sector. The largest job growth, accounting for 58 percent of new jobs, will be those requiring only work-related training. These jobs are primarily in the low-wage retail and food sector, including such jobs as sales associates, food preparation cashiers, and wait staff.
