Everyone seems to agree we need to focus more on STEM education: science, technology, engineering, and math. But in our rush to prioritize those subjects, we’re overlooking others that are even more important.

In a rare show of unanimity, both the Obama and Trump administrations have championed a focus on STEM subjects. The Obama administration called for initiatives like raising over $1 billion in private investment and training 100,000 new math and science teachers by 2021. The Trump administration recently released a report outlining its “five-year vision” on boosting STEM education. There’s even a push to expand STEM to preschool.

One reason for this enthusiasm is the perception that employers can’t find enough qualified individuals to fill STEM positions—and that the number of such positions is expected to grow rapidly. But the real picture is complicated, not least by the fact that the definition of a STEM job is murky. There’s a shortage of qualified applicants in certain STEM areas but a surplus in others. And some projections suggest that overall STEM job growth will slow.

But even if the number of STEM jobs zooms, the majority of Americans will continue to labor in non-STEM occupations. Depending on the way the STEM workforce is defined, it constituted only between five and twenty percent of the American workforce in 2015. Employers are more likely to say they want workers with general analytical and problem-solving skills rather than specific STEM qualifications. They also value so-called “soft” skills like leadership and the ability to work as part of a team. Written and oral communication skills are also high on their list.
