Today's STEM Realities

The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) will grow 10.5% percent by 2030 with more than double the salary of non-STEM field jobs. By 2030, the U.S. will have more than 1 million unfilled STEM jobs because there will not be enough qualified workers to fill them. STEM is where jobs are today and where the job growth will be in the future.
