| Abstract: |
This article compares the 1996-2006 projected changes in the structure of employment at the major occupational group level with the changes that occurred in the previous 10-year
period, 1986-1996. It also identifies the detailed
occupations that are projected to grow at the fastest rate, as well as those with the largest numerical increases, displaying the current educational requirements and earnings of the occupations in each of these growth categories. A discussion of the detailed occupations projected to have the largest employment declines follows. Also discussed are the total number of job openings projected to occur due to growth in the economy and the net replacement needs resulting from workers who leave the labor force or transfer to other occupations. The article concludes with a discussion of the distribution of employment in the base year (1996) and projected job openings by levels of education and earnings. |
