Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II unveiled a plan to improve the state's public colleges by building closer alliances with businesses and shifting more tuition assistance to students who choose in-demand fields of study such as science, technology and health care.
Demand factors driving field-of-study mismatch refer to the fact that a job in the related occupational group may just not available.
Further, assignment theories suggest that the process of allocation of workers to jobs needs to consider both the supply and the demand of workers to understand field-of-study mismatch.
Python has even been used in the numerically demanding field of molecular dynamics (Hinsen, 2000).
Robst (2007a, 2007b) acknowledges, but does not test, that accepting a job on another field-of-study depends on both supply and demand factors.
Any mismatch, including field-of-study mismatch, is temporary and firms will adjust their demand and productive process to the available stock of human capital.
In studying field-of-study mismatch, the literature has generally ignored how skill supply and skill demand dynamics influence mismatch and the relationship between horizontal and vertical mismatch in the wage penalty associated with field-of-study mismatch.
In attempting to find explanations for the occurrence of field-of-study mismatch, this paper proposes measures of field saturation and field transferability of skills as proxies of skill demand and supply, respectively.
The joint occurrence of the transferability of skills in a given field and the demand for workers in that field has not been tested empirically, as most field-of-mismatch studies typically ignore the broader labour market context in which field-of-study mismatch takes place.
Look into the most in-demand fields of health administration.
It's an odd "economic victory" that so scantily rewards 7 years (on average) of demanding graduate study in fields that promise substantial economic impact.
