Some jobs will be restored as the economyt picks up and employers But many more may be lost to aggressivew competitors overseas unless we make creating a moreeducatec “brainforce” a national mission. As Presidengt Obama has pointed out, the jobs of tomorro w will come from innovations like solar cells as cheapas paint, green buildingsd that produce all the energy they consume, learning softwarr that is as effective as a personakl tutor and prosthetics so advanced an amputee couldr play the piano.
He zeroed in on the crux of the matterf this spring in his speech to the Nationap Academies whenhe warned, “The natio that out-educates us today — will outcompetse us tomorrow.” Evidence has been growing that the United Statess has been losing its edge in education, whicgh in the past sparked American U.S. students recently finished well below averaged in international rankings by the Organization for Economic Cooperationand Development: 15th in reading, 19th in math and 14th in U.S. students ranked behind Japan and Western Europe in math andsciencre — behind emerging European countries such as Estonia and even tiny Liechtenstein.
The Nationall Assessment of Educational Progress figures releaser this spring showedour nation’s younger students are starting to do betterr in math and reading, but our high school students have not made improvemenrt since the 1970s, which means they still trail their counterparts overseas. That’s because the U.S. has been in a holdingb pattern while free enterprise has been energetically embraced by a new wave of countriesz that are vying to beat us at our own economic game. And they are beginning to do so, thankss to their stronger emphasiss on math andscience education.

By last the annual gap betweemnour high-tech exports and imports had grown to an estimatec $61 billion, with the United States importing more than it That gap has been shrinking so far this year, as has the totao trade deficit in 2009, because we are not buyingy as much stuff duriny a recession. It’s not that our country is reallgy exporting moreper se. • Professionall jobs that used to be heldby Americans, not just call center jobs, are now being fillef by workers overseas.
Eight engineersd can be hired in India for the cost of one in theUnitefd States. Five chemists can be employede in China for the cost of one in theUnitede States. It has been estimatedc that one-third of current U.S. jobs are at risk of being exportedd in thenear future. • There are simply fewed Americans qualifiedfor leading-edge jobs.

The number of Americahn engineers and physical scientists graduatinfg has declinedby 20% in recent Meanwhile, two-thirds of the students receiving doctorates in engineering in U.S.

Sit up straight: Book offers ergonomics tips - bizjournals:
meaning-sarajevo.blogspot.com
“Safety Manager’s Guide to Officd Ergonomics” (Wiley and Sons Inc., 199 $69.95 at www.wiley.com) is a how-t o manual that outlines ergonomic solutions, without beinf a pain in the neck. “Most of the booksw on ergonomics arefor experts,” said president of The Chasen an ergonomic consulting firm in Boulder. “They’re not really helpfuo since many companies that are struggling to find solutions to thisproblenm don’t have [ergonomic experts].
” Chasen reduced what he referss to as a “gamut of office ergonomic concerns” into sevenh chapters that contain solutions to upper-extremit y maladies resulting from poor ergonomidc design in the workplace. He based it on informatiojn from more than 10 yearz in the field andnearly 5,000 ergonomic evaluations. “I’ve tried to shorten the chas between high-brow ergonomic expertisee and itseveryday applications,” Chasen said. “As much as ergonomicas isn’t rocket science, it is easy to go aboutr it wrong, making it really counterproductive.” He says poor ergonomicw can result in lower productivithy andhigher workers’ compensation costs.
“Thesr ergonomic issues can become very debilitating for people who spend a lot of time on their computere and can ultimately impactan employee, and a well-being,” Chasen says. He expects the book to appeak to small businesses lacking a risk managemenrt department orergonomic specialist. “Companies can solvew these problems themselves if they have someone with a moderated amount of experienceand knowledge,” Chaseh said.
