| Summary: | This document records the oral and written testimony given at a hearing on preparation of the work force for the year 2000 and beyond. Testimony was given by Senator Barbara Mikulski; John Lynch, whose company prepared the report, "Workforce 2000"; Joan Patterson and Nelson Brooks, coexecutive directors of the United Auto Workers-Chrysler National Training Center; Clifford Ehrlich, senior vice president of human resources for Marriott Corporation; David L. Crawford, executive director of the Secretary's Commission on Work Force Quality and Labor Market Efficiency; and Ira Magaziner, chairman of the Commission on the Skills of the American Work Force. Remarks centered on issues such as a national labor shortage, a mismatch between skills needed in the workplace and the actual skills of workers, an aging work force, a culturally diverse work force, more women in the work force, and changing worker values and life-styles. Examples of programs to meet these challenges by making the workplace more attractive to work force nonparticipants, providing remedial education, and providing technical education were discussed.
