Government and industry experts highlight the unfilled jobs primarily because conventional wisdom dictates that STEM leadership, such as leadership in technology sectors, requires robust growth in STEM graduates and available talent. If salaries need to be raised to spur career choices and job transfers, there will be periods of decline in US STEM leadership in new and evolving technologies. The length of such periods, and the impact of them, will be difficult to predict but should not be completely discounted. <br /><br />I suppose I'm saying that the concern for "unfilled jobs" is real in a broader sense although the most obvious solution is the wage increase that you suggested. Thanks for making me think.IMTONYMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297250270008485475noreply@blogger.com
