During the projection period, it is estimated that
employers will need to find workers to fill
over 171,000 job openings. Job openings
result from the need to replace workers who leave
an occupation and from the need to fill vacancies created
by business expansion. Over 30 percent of the projected
job openings are attributed to the economic growth that
is expected to occur during the projection period. The remaining
job openings are due to replacement needs resulting from
employee turnover. Nearly one-third (32.9%) of the new job
growth that is expected during the ten-year projection period
is likely to occur among jobs requiring college degrees –
Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral and Professional degrees.
