Summary:

Through 2008, the most skilled jobs (i.e., those that typically require at least a bachelor's degree) could experience the relatively largest increase in employer demand). Employment also will likely increase, but at much lower rates, among jobs with lesser skill requirements. Despite these differences in rates of job growth, the skill distribution of employment is expected to look much the same: about one-half of all jobs typically requiring at least some postsecondary education and about one-half typically requiring no more than high school graduation.
