Getting ready for future employment opportunity: Evidence from ... (The Thomas B. Fordham Institute)

In brief, the research team finds that the seven-county Pittsburgh metro area is decently positioned to capitalize on the anticipated growth of science- and ...

For community leaders working on these types of efforts, this report offers an important grounding in where to start. [longitudinal data system](https://www.education.pa.gov/DataAndReporting/PIMS/Pages/default.aspx) collects only limited information on postsecondary education, does not connect to workforce data, and is difficult to access for both researchers and practitioners. It is also separated from important data collected on outcomes for participants in programs on Pennsylvania’s [Eligible Training Provider List](https://www.pacareerlink.pa.gov/jponline/Common/LandingPage/Provider). Pittsburgh, of course, isn’t the only region struggling to align employer needs with workers’ skills. For the most part, these are state-centered data systems—one entity with a lot of pull; there are Additionally, a large proportion of Pittsburgh’s STF workers are in the health sector, which requires somewhat different skills than what analysts term “technician and production-related” industries, where the most job and wage growth is expected to occur. Some of these changes are easier than others to implement. The first barrier appears to be a legacy of Pittsburgh’s manufacturing past. Suggestions include boosting wages in STF fields, investing in civic amenities and affordable housing (a fairly easy lift for Pittsburgh since its cost of living is relatively low already), and “addressing the racial disparities in public-facing systems (such as health care and lending) to demonstrate the region’s commitment to equity.” Analysts recommend that colleges and career training academies in the region—described as having plenty of potential to train the next generation—create scholarship programs for students and especially for learners of color. Interestingly, remote learning is highly valued by the analysts, even if remote working is seen as less likely in the future. Public information campaigns run by regional authorities explaining and extoling the jobs and their potential benefits could also be part of the solution. Many would like to see technology-focused industries lead such a resurgence, but do they have enough qualified workers?
