BERLIN, March 2 (Xinhua) — European countries will suffer severe e-skills shortages in five years as the education system fails to fit the fast-growing digital industry, IT experts and EU politicians warned Tuesday when attending Hanover’s CebIT, the world’s top IT trade fair. In a press conference held at CeBIT, high-level representatives from three IT-related groups, which were DigitalEurope, an European information and communications technology (ICT) industry association, and BITKOM, the German ICT industry association, as well as a Bonn-based consulting firm “empirica,” presented facts and figures about Europe’s digital future. European labor market may face a great shortfall of 384,000 ICT practitioners by 2015, while only 10 percent of economic sector would not require e-skills at that time, the three groups said, according to a foresight study. “Europe could lose an important competitive advantage if we do not fully capitalized on the ability of the digital industry,” Bridget Cosgrave, Director-general of DigitalEurope, said. “The burning issue for Europe is to build an adequately e-skilled workforce.” Read more.

(From BusinessWire.com) With the recent slew of layoffs, pay cuts and rising taxes, Americans are more stressed than ever before and their work-life balance has become increasingly off kilter. In fact, a recent survey commissioned by Regus (LSE:RGU), the global leader in flexible workplace solutions, found that 35 percent of Americans have experienced an extreme increase in workplace stress in the last two years and 38 percent attributed that increase to fear of unemployment. In New York alone 8.8% of the workforce is unemployed. New York employees are not only fearing for their jobs, but are also burdened by a growing workload. Many companies have scaled back their operations, leaving the remaining employees to perform their regular tasks while taking on the additional workload left by their departed colleagues. Read more.

(From the Washington Post) Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley called Tuesday for more training efforts to prepare the workforce to meet an expected surge in jobs requiring certification beyond a high school diploma but less than a bachelor’s degree. The state’s unemployment rate has risen steadily throughout the recession, with the most significant losses having occurred in manufacturing and construction. But a study released Tuesday said that by 2016, the state will gain 434,000 so-called middle-skill jobs — including police officers, firefighters, computer specialists and nurses. Only 37 percent of the state’s workforce has the credentials to fill those jobs, however. Left unaddressed, officials said, the gap could slow economic recovery. “We want to raise the bar on skills training,” so that more residents will have the qualifications needed to get hired, O’Malley said at a news conference at Prince George’s Community College in Largo. “Our citizens need jobs, our businesses will increasingly need skilled employees,” he said, adding that he wants to boost the number of workers prepared to fill middle-skill jobs by 20 percent in two years.
