Worker Training: Competing in the New International Economy

I am most pleased to have this opportunity to address the European Workshop on Research and Development Strategies for Work and Technology. My remarks today focus on a report, Worker Training: Competing in the New International Economy, released in September 1990 by the Office of Technology Assessment of the United States Congress. I served as the project director for the report. The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) is a nonpartisan analytical arm of the United States Congress. Its function is to help legislators anticipate and plan for the positive and negative impacts of technological changes.
