Employment in Rhode Island is projected to grow at
all education and skill levels, from jobs
requiring on-the-job training to those
requiring advanced degrees. 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. One-third 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 twelve percent of
the job openings that are expected during the ten-year projection
period are likely to occur among jobs requiring postsecondary
vocational training or work experience in a related
occupation.
