Abstract: The economy in Minnesota and around the world is rapidly shifting. "Talent" - higher-order skills and education - is increasingly the key that allows workers to unlock job prospects, higher earnings, greater net worth and a host of affiliated benefits. Several different employment projections forecast a percentage point increase in the total jobs requiring some post-secondary education by the close of the decade, with estimates of roughly 65 to 70 percent of new jobs requiring this. Talented workers are essential to Minnesota's current and future economic growth, especially in light of changing demographic trends - including a wave of Baby Boomer retirements, slower labor force growth, and an increasingly diverse workforce.
