With our data, we can see in the jungle of the labor market, STARs are working their way to in-demand jobs DESPITE all the barriers and misperceptions they face.
#UpSkillWorks
The @OpptyatWork STARs mobility data model shows that low wage does not mean low skill.
There are actually about 30 million stars that have the skill for jobs that pay 50% more than the jobs they're in today.

Very few STARs are unemployed, they are WORKING in lower-wage jobs.
But the mistake many companies make is they think if someone is working in a low-wage job that they are low skill - that is FICTION.
- @byron_auguste, #UpSkillWorks
The STARs talent pool is massive and represents the full diversity of our workforce.
There are 70 million STARs in this country- that's half our workforce.
Half of the workers right here in the Houston region are STARs
- @byron_auguste, #UpSkillWorks
The truth is that employers are overlooking a source of hidden talent - STARs, workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes.
STARs are workers, 25 years of age or older, who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes, rather than a Bachelor’s degree.
