While the U.S. economy is among the world&#8217;s strongest, however, other countries continue to invest in education, technology, innovation, and other industries that invigorate economies, and the U.S. is falling behind. The percentage of U.S. workers employed in what the Brookings Institution calls &#8220;advanced industries&#8221; has fallen from 11.6% in 1980, to 8.7% in 2013. While this was a slight improvement from 8.4% in 2010, the need for a resurgence in the nation&#8217;s most important industries is more pressing than ever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/25407\/us-education-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-25408\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25408\" src=\"http:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/US-Education.jpg\" alt=\"US Education\" width=\"592\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/US-Education.jpg 592w, https:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/US-Education-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.w-t-w.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/US-Education-489x300.jpg 489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the US falling behind in advanced technologies?\u00a0 The United States&#8217; GDP of $16.3 trillion in 2014 was the highest in the world, due in large part to the strength of U.S. industries.
