The NYC median hourly wage for these workers is versus the NYC median living wage of JPMORGAN CHASEClosing the Skills Gap, New York Historically, the United States and much of the developed world beneted from an industrial economy that oered employment opportunities for workers of all skill levels.In todays global economy, however, industries in the United States, Europe and elsewhere are experiencing rapid growth in middle-skill occupations, which require a high school degree and technical training but not a four-year college degree. Its these jobs that many employers around the world are struggling to ll.In New York City (NYC), the skills gap is threatening the citys sustained economic growth and limiting opportunities for struggling New Yorkers. This is not the only challenge we face. Inadequate aggregate demand is the primary driver of unemployment and trends such as declining wages for entry-level jobs contribute to income inequality. We need solutions that address all these issues. This report highlights the challenges contributing to New Yorks skills gap, as well as the many opportunities to move more New Yorkers into well-paying jobs.The report ndings show that there are over 1,000,000 middle-skill jobs in New York and 44,000 current openings. These are well-paying jobs with the potential for career growth, and they oer struggling families the real prospect of economic security. The report oers a framework for a systemic approach to scaling the education and training necessary to move more New Yorkers into these jobs and meet the demand for workers in these high-growth, middle-skill occupations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYOUR KEY FINDINGSMiddle-skill jobs are at the intersection of economic growth for employers and economic opportunity for individuals who continue to struggle with unemployment and limited job prospects. Based on the ndings in this report, there is a signicant concentration of middle-skill work in the healthcare and technology industries that would provide good jobs and economic mobility for New Yorkers. Closing the skills gap for employers in these sectors will continue the momentum of growth for NYCs economy. Registered NursesPhysical Therapy AssistantsComputer ProgrammersHelp Desk StaffParalegalsGraphic Designers There are well over workers employed in middle-skill occupations in the city with a median hourly wage of $31.88.There is also demand for new workers, with over new job openings for middle- skill workers per year.Over New Yorkers aged 25 and older do not have the credentials required for these jobs, which means positions go unlled and future growth is in jeopardy. Together the healthcare and technology sectors employ approximately employees.In healthcare, for example,nursing ($40.34), clinicalpractitioners ($24.35), andhealth informatics and codingpositions ($21.32) pay amedian hourly wage that farexceeds the living wageThe median hourly wages for several high-demand technology occupations, including computer user support specialists ($26.31) and web developers ($34.93), all exceed the living wage. The healthcare and technology sectors are two of the cities high-demand industries; they are projected to grow signicantly over the next ve years.Middle-skill occupations in healthcare and technology are excellent opportunities for job seekers because they provide good jobs with career advancement and family-supporting wages.Openings in these sectors alone make up approximately 45% of the total postings for all middle-skill jobs in NYC between More than of these workers are projected growth rate for healthcare over the next ve years.projected growth rate for technology over the next ve years. JPMORGAN CHASEClosing the Skills Gap, New York NEW YORK Employers are having trouble nding workers with the right skills middle-skill postings in healthcare go unlled for overon average. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS Finding enough qualied New Yorkers to ll the middle-skill openings in healthcare and technology let alone other high-growth, high-demand sectors will be impossible without redesigning the citys workforce development system. In order to meet this demand, NYC will need to build an employer-led, sector-based workforce development system supported by robust career pathways.Given the size of the system and the scale of the need, this is a complex undertaking. But NYC is well positioned for success, given the sophistication and expertise of current sector-based work, the leadership of the Oce of Workforce Development, and strong examples of career pathway programs. Through the New Skills at Work initiative, JPMorgan Chase & Co. will contribute resources and expertise to accelerate this work to transform lives and strengthen economies. \f\b\f\f\f\r\b\f\f\f\r\r\f\r\f \b\r\r\f\f\f\f \r \f\r\f\f\f\r\f\r\f\f\f\r\b\b \f\f\r\f\r\f\b\f\f \r\f\f\f\b\f\f\f\r\r\b\b\f JPMORGAN CHASEClosing the Skills Gap, New York 08 In New York City (NYC), despite the promise of sustained economic growth and a large workforce, many businesses in high-demand industries are struggling to ll open middle-skill positions.

(EMSI), NYCs top six industry categories based on the total number of employees in the sector are Healthcare, Financial and Insurance Services (Finance), Education, Multimedia Entertainment , Computer and Information Services (Technology), and Corporate Headquarters. Preparing job seekers for employment in these industries will ensure continued economic growth for the city and economic opportunities for more New Yorkers. Of the identied industries, healthcare and technology represent the largest sectors in terms of current jobs (healthcare) and projected growth (technology) and they have a strong concentration of high-demand and high-growth, middle-skill occupations. JPMorgan Chase & Co. also recognizes that industry partnerships will need to play a signicant role in developing strategies and mobilizing resources. Another reason technology and healthcare are prioritized in this report is that both industries have industry partnerships positioned to lead this work: the nationally recognized New York Alliance for Careers in Healthcare (NYACH) has been working deeply in the healthcare sector, and the Tech Talent Pipeline (TTP) has recently been established to advance work in that sector.

Industry partnerships (e.g., New York Alliance for Careers in Healthcare, and Tech Talent Pipeline) can adapt the model for developing these career maps to other priority occupations by identifying the priority position, mapping the progressive vertical steps of responsibility and salary, and aligning each step with any required certications or credentials. With these career ladder maps, employers can articulate the trajectory for career advancement, translate the career progression to the education and training providers, and communicate these opportunities to job seekers so they can understand how they can enter the industry and advance to middle-skill opportunities that are available in healthcare and technology.\r\r\f\r\b\f\f\r\r\r\f \t\f\f\f\f\f\f\f\r\f\f\f\r\r\f\r\f \t\r\r\r\f 18 \f\r£\t\r¦\r\f\f\n\t ®\t\n\n¦\b\r\n¤¤\n¤¤\n\r\b£\b\b\t\t\b\t\b\b\b\f\f\f\r\f ¡\r\f\f\b ¢ \b \n\r\f\n¡\r\f\f \f\f\r\b\f\r \f \f\f \f\r\t \f\f\f\f\f\f \f\f\b\t\f\f¡\r\t\f\t\t\t\t\t \f\r\f¡\t\f\t\t\t \f \r\b\b\f\r\f\f\f\f \f\f\r¡\n¡ \f\f\f\f\r\f¡\r\f\r \r\n\f\f \b \f\f\f\f\f\f\f\f\f\b\f\f\f\f\f\r\f\r\f \b £¢¢ \n ¡ \f \n \f\f\n\f\f\r\f\r\f\f\f\f\r\n\f\f\r\t\r\r\t\t\f\f\r\f\r \b \f\f¨\f\f©\f 19 \f\f © ª\r¡\t\r \r \f ¬ ¢ \f\f\f\r¡\f\f\f¥¤\b \t\r\r\r¢£ \b\f \r\f\f\f\f\f\f\r\b\f\f\f\f\f\f\f\f¢\f\f\r\r\r\b \f\f\r \f\f\n\f\f\f\f«\f\f \f\b\t\r\t\f\b\t \f\t \t\r\f\r\f\f\f\t\f\t\f\r\r\b\r\f\r¡\b\b\f\r\f\r\f\r\f\r\r\r\f\r \t\f\f\f¢\f\r\f\f\r\f\f\f\f¡\n\t\f\f¬\r \t JPMORGAN CHASEClosing the Skills Gap, New York RECOMMENDATIONSAs identied in the report, there is work to be done in each sector to clarify expectations around these opportunities, but it is clear that there is a range of middle-skill occupations in healthcare and technology that oer good paying jobs with the opportunity for career mobility.

They threaten to not only constrain the citys future economic growth, but to limit opportunities for the millions of NYC job seekers striving to improve their lives. The good news is that signicant eorts are already underway to address these challenges. Through the New Skills at Work initiative, JPMorgan Chase & Co. proposes to help advance these eorts by oering guidance on how to develop a demand-driven workforce system aligned with industry-supported education and training models that prepare individuals for careers in high-demand sectors. This means identifying the high-growth industries and occupations in the market; working with employers to determine the skills they need to ll available jobs; and developing education and training pathways that prepare job seekers for careers in high-demand occupations. Mayor de Blasios Jobs for New Yorkers Task Force is charged with redesigning the workforce development system to focus on preparing workers for quality jobs that pay a family-sustaining wage.
