In September 2004, the Report of the National Commission on Writing published the results of a national survey of employers. The three overall findings of the report were:

(1) the skill employers value most over all others when hiring and promoting is writing;
(2) employers' biggest frustration is the substandard writing skills of their employees;
(3) one of the largest costs businesses face is training employees to write well.
