Title: A New Kind of Tech Job Emphasizes Skills, Not a College Degree
*Author:*  Steve Lohr

*Date:*  June 28, 2017
Summary:  As the United States struggles with how to match good jobs to the
two-thirds of adults
https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2017/cb17-51.html who do

skills can be emphasized over traditional hiring filters like college
degrees, work history and personal references. And elevating skills over
pedigree creates new pathways to employment and tailored training and a
gateway to the middle class. Link:  http://nyti.ms/2vtAiYS
