Labor Secretary Hilda Solis on Bridging the Skills Gap in Pittsburgh from Imagine Pittsburgh Online
"...why — when this region’s unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) was 7.1  percent in March (compared to 8.4 percent nationally) — can’t we find people to fill these jobs? Well, the answer is that many of the people looking for work simply don’t have the skills required to fill the positions that are opening up in our more knowledge-driven economy. And there’s every reason to believe that the situation is only going to become more challenging."
