Abstract	Researchers suggest that the economy of the future will consist of jobs that do not currently exist, there will likely be a shortage of individuals with necessary education and credentials to fill those jobs, and if the nation does not produce this workforce, there will likely be a $1.72 trillion loss in productivity by 2030. Considering these projections, policymakers continue to seek ways to create opportunities for individuals to access training and education that translate to jobs and careers, all while meeting the labor demands of an evolving economy. States have introduced and enacted legislation that forms connections between education and workforce development. While these connections can take place at a local or institutional level, many states have enacted policy that expands beyond local activity to make statewide workforce development and education connections. This Policy Snapshot reviews 2019 enacted legislation pertaining to postsecondary education and workforce development. It breaks legislative activity into four main categories -- (1) career pathways and skills; (2) partnerships and working groups; (3) financial incentives; and (4) workforce data -- with state examples for each.
