During the projection period, it is estimated that employers will need to find workers to fill over 186,000 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. Approximately one-third of the projected job openings is 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 35 percent of the new job growth that is expected during the ten-year projection period is likely to occur among jobs requiring college degrees – Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral and Professional degrees.
