Every job now requires more training and education. Companies are more selective and are looking for more educated people with high tech skills. Additionally, we are competing globally in industries where jobs can be fulfilled overseas.

Since we are in the midst of an Information Revolution, even rudimentary jobs have seized workers who think they escaped having to go to college, who still have to go through more training and education. Additionally, many college graduates in the workplace are learning that their education will continue through company training and professional development programs. All this education is now necessary to ensure that workers have the abilities to contribute to their companies accordingly.
With all these innovations, more is accomplished, all while plants now only require about half the workers than in the past. There have been a lot of changes, especially in standardization, where standard equipment requires “less manual labor” and maintenance. As a result, demands for labor have shifted to demands for more educated and knowledgeable workers. The “selection process” is tougher now, and workplaces everywhere are “purging people in business” to get more educated people with more high tech skills, such as programming. The transition in the labor force is mostly only allowing more educated people in the workplace. Additionally, in this global economy, jobs are sometimes fulfilled by workers overseas who will accept much lower wages.
With all these new innovations, processes and technologies, more is accomplished and less capital is invested. This is the overall goal of every organization.
