Georgetown University – To help workers make decisions that maximize their likelihood of securing a good job, the authors introduce the concept of promising occupations for workers, in which more than half of jobs in the occupational group are projected to be good for workers on a given educational pathway in 2031 and the occupational group will employ a higher share of workers on a specific educational pathway than will the overall economy in. The report finds that while there will be good jobs on every educational pathway, only 15% will be available to workers on the high school pathway, compared to 66% on the bachelor’s degree pathway and 19% on the middle-skills pathway.
