Measures
| Measure | What it measures | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Projected employment by detailed occupation | Employment for each detailed (6-digit SOC) occupation, statewide, in the projection cycle's base year (status final) and projected year (status projection). | people |
| Projected annual openings by detailed occupation | Total projected average annual job openings (turnover plus growth) for each detailed occupation, statewide, over the projection cycle's base-to-projected-year range. | people |
| Projected employment by major occupation group | Employment for each major SOC occupational group, plus the workbook's own all-occupations total, statewide, in the base year (status final) and projected year (status projection). | people |
| Projected annual openings by major occupation group | Total projected average annual job openings (turnover plus growth) for each major SOC occupational group, plus the workbook's own all-occupations total, statewide, over the projection cycle's base-to-projected-year range. | people |
Caveats
- These are the Department's own model output for future employment and openings, not observed counts; a 2032 figure is a projection.
- Annual openings is the workbook's total figure only; the source also splits it into exits, transfers, and growth, not stored here.
- 40 of 749 detailed occupations have employment and openings figures suppressed by the publisher; those observations are omitted, not stored as zero.
