Abstract

American business is faced with major problems  due to the decline  in basic work skills , yet many employers continue to ignore the threat of a proficiency gap in the workforce . This paper addresses the importance of basic work skills to business, especially small business. It also presents the results of a study comparing how small and large employers are screening for  and dealing with workers who lack basic skills.
