Ca
lifornia Degree Needs
Since 2000, California has lost slightly more college graduates to other states than it has gained. Highly skilled workers attracted from other countries are not enough to meet the need
.
Public institutions annually award 110,000
bachelor
’s
degrees and private institutions award 40,000. To meet the projected demand by 2025, California must increase the number of degrees by almost 60,000 per year—about 40% above current levels.
