| Earn a high school diploma; more school or job training was not required. | More jobs call for a degree or training past high school. |

| Compete for jobs only with local job seekers. | Job seekers compete for jobs with people all over the world. Employers can move to another country. More workers can live away from their work. They use a computer to check in with their employer. |
