The skills that many of us older folks (whom I will more blandly refer to as "employers") find missing in the younger generation are fairly well known. These include: communication skills, critical thinking skills, project management skills, teamwork skills, writing skills, and numeracy skills. Many reports on this skill gap cite surveys that measure employer perception of these skill gaps, not actual empirical measurement of the employees' skills. While studies that examine what each generation of students learns as a result of education shows increasing not decreasing knowledge, it is plausible that skill gaps can and do exist, even above and beyond the mythical perceptions each older generation may have about the younger one.
