Businesses Tout Math and Science Education
Siemens' President and CEO George Nolen had an editorial in the Washington Business Journal recently describing how his company will need young people who are well educated in math and science, yet does not see that population growing to the numbers that the market requires.
"Strengthening America's commitment to math and science is a critical business issue that transcends quarterly results. Over the next five years, the demand for scientists and engineers in this country is expected to outstrip the overall growth rate for other occupations by at least 70 percent. Yet to date, as a nation, we are falling far short in preparing the next generation of Americans for these critical jobs."
