13 Minimum Educational Requirements Of Demand Occupations Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Minimum Educational Requirements, 2006 – 2016 Occupational Projections

14 Hiring Practices Source: U.S. Census, American Community Survey, 2006 –2016 Occupational Projections

15 Supply and Demand Gaps  The supply side for this analysis uses Board of Regents data, and includes completers for fiscal year The demand side uses the occupational projections. LED worked with LSU to compare supply of annual completers to annual projected openings resulting from job growth and replacements.  Assumption: Some training or education in a technical or community college is required for 50% of jobs requiring long-term training and 25% of jobs requiring moderate-term training.  Demand for 3,892 more 2-yr and technical positions than supply of completers. This figure represented 51% of the total supply.  Supply of 10,312 more four-year completers than demand.  At the doctoral and first professional degree level, supply exceeded demand by 836 graduates.
