requirements led to 1.3 million more jobs by 2019 for those ages 15 to 44 with post-secondary credentials.  \nMeanwhile, adults ages 15 to 44 who don’t have post-secondary credentials saw a drop of 875,000 jobs.  \nAdults who don't have post-secondary credentials have faced reduced employment in every sector.  \nOntario post-secondary students have been preparing for a disruptive economy by pursuing many pathways and emphasizing employment-ready credentials, including entrepreneurship and innovation.  \nCollege graduates continue to provide Ontario with a key competitive advantage over the U.S. They are three times as numerous, per capita and contribute to exports per capita at twice the U.S. level.  \nA higher share of Ontario young adults have post-secondary credentials than in any single state in the U.S. although the gap is widest compared with some southern states.  \n2 MATCHING SKILLS TO EMPLOYER NEEDS: PATHWAYS, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INNOVATION  \n2.1 Ontario young adult
