*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Is ‘Brain Waste’ Costing New Jersey Billions Every Year? *Author:* Tiziana Rinadli *Source:* NJ Spotlight *Date:* Jan 6, 2016 Summary: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, so many college-educated immigrants have moved to New Jersey <http://dspace.njstatelib.org:8080/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10929/40136/e54201…> since 1990, they now outnumber the traditional pools of low-skilled newcomers. But the state hasn’t done much to tap their potential, resulting in what’s known as “malemployment,” newcomers working at jobs for which they’re overqualified or overeducated or both. Another name for the problem is “brain waste.” *Link:* http://bit.ly/2hYaqx6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
