“Income of U.S. Workforce Projected to Decline If Education Doesn’t Improve” is available from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.

The report, from the Washington-based National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, warns that as the population of undereducated youths rises and baby boomers retire, there will be a general drop in the education level of the workforce at a time when the demand for highly skilled workers will be increasing.
