The report found that jobs requiring higher education consistently had fewer available positions, and highlighted that the hiring challenges for positions requiring post-secondary education are not due to a lack of qualified workers, but because of mismatch in skills that could be solved with ongoing training and deflated entry requirements, and inadequate wages that could be fortified with desirable benefits or competitive wages.
The report determined that the lack of available positions for jobs requiring higher education is a result of skills mismatch, which can be resolved through training programs and lowered entry requirements, as well as low wages, which can be improved with better benefits or competitive salaries.
