STEM jobs will grow from about 6 million to 9 million over the next decade, according to Anthony Carnevale, Director of Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce.
STEM Matters
Success is what counts. 4
Think about key skills needed in today's workplace: problem solving,
analytical thinking, and the ability to work independently. What do they
all have in common?
They're all related to STEM
Success is what counts. 5
STEM careers are concentrated in the following fields
Agriculture, Agricultural Operations, and Related Sciences
Computer and Informational Sciences and Support Services
Engineering and Engineering Technologies
Biological and Biomedical Sciences
Mathematics and Statistics
Physical Sciences and Technologies
Success is what counts. 7
Underrepresented Progress?
Although students begin STEM degrees, they don’t always finish them. Nearly
70% of white students will complete the bachelor’s degree they started in a
STEM discipline, but only 42% of African Americans and 49% of Hispanics will
complete the same degree.
Although minorities make up 28.5% of the national population, they are only
17.7% of the graduate population. Further, only 5.4% of STEM doctorate
graduates are minorities. Despite these statistics, minority students express as
much desire to pursue STEM careers as their white and Asian peers.
A report from McKinsey & Co. shares statistics that indicate the gap between
minority and white student performance has an effect on the national GDP. In
2008, the GDP would have been $310 billion to $525 billion higher if the gap
between minority and white student performance had been narrowed.

STEM Fact
The United States ranked 28th in math literacy and 24th in science literacy, according to a 2008 report by the Congressional Research Service
On September 28, 2010 data derived from the United States Center for Education Statistics. The data showed that U.S. public school students rank 21st in the world in science literacy and 25th in mathematics literacy.

Policy Changes are Good …
But to make any substantial changes to developmental mathematics education, we MUST change what is happening within the 4 walls of our classrooms.
