In a New York Daily News op-ed, Stanley S. Litow writes that the U.S. doesn’t have a job crisis; it has students who lack STEM skills. Litow, a former deputy chancellor of schools for NY and current president of the IBM Foundation, said that there are approximately 300,000 unfilled jobs in the city. Companies including JPMorgan Chase, AT&T, Citigroup and IBM have thousands of vacancies in the scientific and technical services sector. According to Litow, a close collaboration between NY’s schools, universities and the private sector can close this gap.
