  • Technology skills proficiency in the U.S. dropped from 69% in 2021 to 43% this year.
  • People in the Northeast, upper Midwest, and along the Pacific Coast have the highest skills proficiency in business, while those in the South fell behind. Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin ranked highest in business proficiency overall in the U.S.
  • Idaho has the highest level of technology skills in the country. People in the state also earned a perfect 100% proficiency for mobile development skills.
  • There has been a greater focus on human skills amid rapid workforce changes in the U.S. This includes skills such as resilience, project management, decision making, planning, storytelling, and experimentation.
