MAX Minutes with Nye Hodge, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, to Focus on Closing the Digital Skill Divide

August 19, 2023

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta partnered with the National Skills Coalition (NSC) to release Closing the Digital Skill Divide, a real-time snapshot of demand for digital skills in the U.S. labor market. The analysis finds that 92% of jobs analyzed require digital skills. It finds strong demand for digital skills across every industry (dispelling misconceptions that demand exists primarily in the tech sector) and in almost every occupation, including entry-level and frontline positions.

Previous research by NSC found, one-third of workers don’t have the foundational digital skills necessary to enter and thrive in today’s jobs. Together, these findings point to a significant digital skill divide. These findings come at a pivotal moment as the bi-partisan infrastructure law includes billions of dollars for states to invest in workforce development-related initiatives including digital skill training.

Nye Hodge, Research Analyst with the Atlanta Fed, will join MAX to discuss this work with the NSC and its implications for our current and future workforce.

Join MAX on Friday, August 25th, 9:00 AM, for a timely and virtual conversation.
