500,000 current openings:
These jobs are in
every
industry and
every
state, and they’re projected to grow at twice the rate of all other jobs.
Computing jobs are the #1 source of new wages in the United StatesSlide20
This problem is
about “

Our state policies can help fix this picture…Slide24
Only 37 states
have
created K–12
computer science standards.
Momentum is building, but we still have a long way to go.

Computer science counts statewide
Computer science can count (school decides)
Computer science is an elective
CS can count for graduation in
48 states + DC
In 48 states plus DC, computer science can count towards high school graduation math or science requirements -
up from 12 states in 2013.Slide26
