"Brazil's Brain Strain"

this is a self-promotion post Our study on Skilled Labor Shortage in Brazil was reported by Knowledge Wharton this month. The full story here: Brazil's Brain Strain: Will a Skills Shortage Dampen Growth?

Talking about labor shortage, here is an interesting DER SPIEGEL article about skilled labor shortage in Eastern Germany (via Demography Matters).

I would also like to share this: The Chronicle of Higher Education created a very interesting interactive map on the the percentage of adults with college degrees over time in the USA. Check the map here. (Hat tip: Flowing Data)

1970 - % of adults with college degrees over time in the USA

2005-9 - % of adults with college degrees over time in the USA
