Why Digital Literacy Matters
50% of Black and more than half of Latinx workers are lacking skills
33% of immigrant workers were found to have no digital skills
48 million US workers have few or no digital skills
Analyses of international data by National Skills Coalition (2020) found that workers of color disproportionately lack proficient digital skills, with half of Black workers and more than half of Latinx workers lacking these skills. Additionally, 33% of immigrant workers were found to have no digital skills and 29% had limited skills. Those without digital skills were found to have a lower rate of labor market participation than those with digital skills, and were more likely to work in lower skilled jobs. The few demographic factors that were found to be closely correlated with lack of digital skills included limited educational attainment (high school diploma or less), low earnings, and limited literacy skills.
