Notes: Data for occupations with less than 20 jobs in 2008 not included.
Numer of jobs data for 2008 and 2008 rounded to nearest five.
  Data presented for occupations will not sum to totals due to non-publishable data for additional occupations included in totals. Demand data is the summation of job openings estimated due to projected employment growth and job openings projected to be created due to replacement need of current workers. Replacement need is estimated by multiplying occupational employment estimates by national replacement rates supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). These rates estimate the number of job openings, by occupation, which will be attributed to a worker permanently leaving an occupation (e.g. retirement, death, exits the workforce, etc. ). Average annual demand data are calculated by dividing by ten, the number of years in the projection period. Occupations included on the above list have average annual demand greater than 25, the average annual demand across all occupations. Click here for more information on employment projections.
