Organizations continue to invest in organizational learning and development. In ASTD’s 2012 _State of the Industry Report,_ 461 organizations representing a diverse sample of industries, sizes, and locations report on their commitment to learning and development (L&D). ASTD estimates that U.S. organizations spent approximately $156.2 billion on employee learning in 2011. Of this total direct learning expenditure, 56 percent ($87.5 billion) was spent internally. The remainder was split between tuition reimbursement, which accounted for 14 percent ($21.9 billion), and external services comprising 30 percent ($46.9 billion).
