Coast to coast, STEM jobs take longest to fill

Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs take more than twice as long to fill as other openings, according to a new Brookings Institution study that provides the most detailed evidence yet of a skills gap that’s slowing payroll growth.

Even more surprising, a high school graduate with a STEM background is in higher demand than a college grad without such skills, the report says. STEM jobs that require only a high school or associate’s degree are advertised for 40 days on average vs. 37 days for jobs demanding a bachelor’s degree only.
