  11. A Looming Crisis anda Feast of Opportunities! • Geoscience-related jobs will increase by 23% by 2021 • Rate of growth in geoscience occupations is more than 2X faster than all other occupations in the U.S. • Of the 262,627 geoscientists working today, only 130,000 will still be working in 2021! • By 2021, there will be approximately 322,000 jobs in the geosciences U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2010 And Keane 2011

  12. A Looming Crisis anda Feast of Opportunities! • By 2021, there will be approximately 322,000 jobs in the geosciences • Maximum production of new geoscientists by 2021 is 63,000 • There will be between 145,000 and 202,000 unfilled geoscience jobs by 2021! • These trends drive increased opportunities and higher salaries U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2010 And Keane 2011
