And each year in the US, the number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by 5%.In the next 20 years, many talented people with S&E knowledge will retire (退休), because more than half of them now are in their 40s or older and 30% of them are 55 or older. Therefore, to have enough talented people, universities need to train students in S&E. Yet fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&E. In other words, there are not enough new talented people to take the place of the retiring ones, so there will be a gap (缺口) in the future.In the past, the US filled this gap with foreign talented people. These people came to the US to study and got their doctorates (博士学位) from American universities. Many of them lived in the US to use their science skills.
