The US economy is expected to create 55 million job openings by 2020 as baby boomers retire and new positions are created. Most of the fastest growing fields - STEM, healthcare, and community services - will require postsecondary education. By 2020, 65% of all jobs will require education beyond high school like bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, or certificates. While a high school diploma alone will no longer provide sufficient qualifications, specific technical or healthcare support careers may not demand as much postsecondary education. States will need to boost rates of citizens achieving education past high school to meet future workforce needs.
