2. Manufacturing jobs will require different skills, while an equal number of service jobs will be obsolete.

3. The major contributors to new job opportunities are small companies with fewer than 100 employees, yet small companies are the least able to provide on-the-job training.

4. Workers will change jobs six to seven times during their normal working lives.

5. Many technical and office occupations now require post-secondary career training as more employers prefer to hire trained personnel rather than provide training.
