Beyond High School

• 3. Not All Good Jobs Require a 4-Year Degree

The number of high paying jobs not requiring a four-year degree is actual ally y increa easin ing. g.

• The U.S. Department of Labor projects 80% of the jobs created in the next

decade will require education beyond high school, but only 20% of these jobs will require a four-year degree.

The U.S. Census finds 25% of four-year college graduates work in jobs that do not require a four-year degree.

• As a result, one and two-year career colleges and schools are widely

recognized as the most direct, quickest and most efficient route to success in many fields.

By 2018, almost two-thirds of all jobs will require some postsecondary education beyond high school 27% of people with postsecondary certificates and credentials (less than an Associate’s degree) earn more than the average Bachelor’s degree recipient 78% of the jobs in Health Care requires less than a Bachelor’s degree There is clearly a mis-match between what jobs are available and what our youth are being prepared for

 Career Opportunities abound with high-skill education – with

3 out of 4 jobs now requiring a technical or technological skill – post secondary education is giving students the hands-on experience they need to get good jobs.

 High-Skill Education – (as opposed to traditional academic

education) provides training in specialized career fields in 2 years or less so students can enter the job market sooner.

 There are not enough qualified candidates to

fill the increased number of skilled jobs created in the next 8 years.

 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,

the fastest growing occupations are projected to be in computer technology and health care

• fields. In addition, one of the highest growth

rates is expected to occur among jobs for technicians and technological support

• ccupations.

• Population – age, race, gender, income, veteran’s status and

education information

• Information about the market in which workers compete for jobs and

employers compete for workers.

• Employment, projections and wages by industry and
• ccupation, occupational profiles and career information
• Labor force, employment, unemployment, and

unemployment rates

• LMI is a tool to help answer many questions and assist in

strategic planning for the future.

• LMI can help job seekers, schools, businesses and other

agencies gain a better understanding of our region.

 Most of the next slides will show how occupations are expected to

experience growth – an increase in the number of jobs due to overall economic growth.

 It is important to know that these numbers do not always take into

account the occupations with a high number of replacement jobs due to normal turnover, including retirement.

 The Total number of workers that needs to be “replaced” in any

given industry on an annual basis often actually exceeds total job

• growth. For example, you may see a decline in industries such as

manufacturing, rail transport or utilities however these industries may also have high rates of turnover or retirements (think baby- boomers) that they are actually facing worker shortages despite being in decline – this is what our Manufacturing Industry is experiencing.
