<description><![CDATA[According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, American job growth in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields is outpacing non-STEM-related job growth by 300 percent. With so much national focus on STEM education, as well as employment and jobs growth, Raytheon commissioned an independent survey of 1,000 parents of children between the ages of 6 and 15 years old, aimed at determining (among other things) what skills parents believe their children will need to succeed in the future. A majority of parents said being good at math (53 percent) eclipsed being outgoing (42 percent) and being good at sports (5 percent) as traits they believed would help their children succeed in life. A full summary of the findings can be found here: http://www.raytheon.com/newsroom/feature/rtn12_psurvey/index.html. Do you think being good at math is essential to future success?]]></description>
