🎓 Professional and Doctoral Degree Holders Earned >$2K
US workers with professional degrees earn a median of $2.3K per week in 2024, followed closely by those with doctorates. Earnings steadily decline with lower educational attainment, with high school graduates earning $930 and those without a diploma earning $738. The data highlights the strong link between education and income potential and the competitive workforce in the US. The US Department of Education’s Gainful Employment regulations continue shaping access to quality post-secondary programs.
⚕️ Top Pharmaceutical Products Generated Nearly $140B
Keytruda led global pharmaceutical sales in 2023 with $25B, followed by Comirnaty and Humira. The top selling products reflect strong demand in oncology and chronic disease management. This trend drives workforce growth in biotech and pharma manufacturing, as well as increased student interest in life sciences. The US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority is funding innovation in high demand therapeutic areas.
🤖 Sweden Faces Challenges in AI GPU Availability
Sweden reports the highest concern over GPU availability at 39%, closely followed by India at 38% and Taiwan at 36%. GPU availability refers to how easily organizations can access graphics processing units (GPUs), which are specialized computer chips essential for running high performance computations. Limited GPU availability can slow AI development and create bottlenecks in research and production workflows. Governments are investing in domestic semiconductor production and supply chain improvements to address GPU shortages.
