STEM Jobs Expanding

In a report issued by the US Commerce Department today, data tends to show that STEM careers pay an average of 26% more than those in other fields, and grew three times faster in the last decade.  http://www.usatoday.com/MONEY/usaedition/2011-07-14-Tech-jobs_ST_U.htm

Similarly, "green jobs" enjoy median wages 20% higher and clean tech jobs outpace those in the oil industry.  http://www.usatoday.com/MONEY/usaedition/2011-07-13-Green-jobs--_ST_U.htm  The Los Angeles Times reports that California continues to lead the nation in the number of green jobs held, according to the Brookings Institution.  http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-green-jobs-20110713,0,1142707.story
