New Study of “California 2025” Reveals Troubling Economic Future A new study released by the Public Policy Institute of California which looks at the state’s future economy and workforce given current trends concludes that the likely workforce in 2025 for a high technology economy may be lacking. Part of the problem discussed by the PPI researchers is the fast growing Hispanic share of the state’s population - which in 2025 is projected to be half of all residents - and the fact that so few of that ethnic group are getting university degrees. The Los Angeles Times report on the new study cites a commentary by noted immigration analyst Richard Fry that, “Thirty percent of white kids in California will finish college; 15% to 16% of California-born Hispanic children will finish college. That has serious implications for whether California employers will have the highly skilled workers they're going to need. …Nationally, we know that Hispanic high school students are not taking the calculus, the rigorous courses. Sometimes they don't go to schools that offer them. Sometimes they are tracked differently.” The Public Policy Institute study is available here. |
