Writing Concentration

How valuable is effective writing? Careers for writers and editors are expected to increase in the coming years, both nationally and in the state of Texas.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2014, there will be 17% more jobs for writers and editors (including technical writers) than there were in 2004.

Most professionals spend 40% of their time writing; moreover, professionals who write well can earn 30% more money than their colleagues with weaker writing skills. (Business Communication 8)
