Drivers of the Economy Have Changed, Creating Demand for Higher Skills
The primary drivers of the U.S. economy have radically changed. In the 19th century, agriculture and mineral extraction drove prosperity based on natural resources. In 1862, U.S. farms employed almost 60 percent of the U.S. labor force, and agriculture accounted for about 40 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). By the 1990s, farms employed only 3 percent of the labor force.[…] In the 21st century, knowledge, technology and inno¬vation drive the economy. For example, 35 years ago, about 80 percent of the market value of the S&P 500 was represented by tangible assets—brick, mortar, equipment and inventory. Today, about 80 percent of the value is represented by intangible assets—patents, trademarks, brands, research and software. Increas-ingly, competitive and market success depends on people working with these intangible idea-based assets, and the technologies and management sys¬tems used to create value from them.(source : review) |
