Abstract	California needs 1.1 million more workers with bachelor's degrees by 2030 to keep up with economic demand. More college graduates would mean higher incomes, greater economic mobility, more tax revenue, and less demand for social services. In addressing this projected shortfall, three regions will play an especially critical role: Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire, and the San Joaquin Valley. Indeed, improving college outcomes in these regions could help close more than half of the statewide skills gap. To inform and motivate regional action, this report analyzes demographic, college preparation, and college graduation data from these regions; presents regional estimates of the number of additional bachelor's degrees necessary to close the skills gap by 2030; identifies challenges and highlights innovative approaches; and provides policy recommendations that build on promising efforts. Although this report focuses on three key regions, policy insights apply to other parts of the state as well. (ERIC).
