1 in 3 U.S. workers
Nearly one-third of workers lack foundational digital skills needed in today's economy.
The Problem
The Problem
Digital systems now shape access to opportunity.
But millions of people were never taught how to use them.
From job applications and banking to healthcare portals and school systems, everyday life increasingly requires digital fluency. Yet digital skills are often assumed—not taught.
The result is a growing digital skills gap that quietly determines who can access opportunity—and who is left to navigate essential systems without support.
A Growing
Skills Gap
Digital systems were built faster than the support people received to use them.
As more services move online, people are expected to manage accounts, portals, logins, and forms with little guidance. This isn't a personal failure—it's a systems failure.
When digital literacy is treated as optional, everyday life becomes harder to navigate—and access to opportunity becomes uneven.
What the Data Shows
92% of jobs require digital skills
Yet millions don't have the skills these roles assume.
16% lack basic digital skills
Many adults struggle with everyday tasks like email, web navigation, and basic software.
96% are online—but access isn't capability
Being connected doesn't mean being equipped to navigate digital systems safely and confidently.
Why This Matters
The digital skills gap shows up in everyday life:
- Missed job opportunities
- Barriers to healthcare and benefits
- Financial tools that feel inaccessible
- Systems that exclude instead of support
When digital literacy becomes a prerequisite for participation, lack of access to skills becomes a barrier to dignity, stability, and opportunity.
