This report summarizes regional, statewide, and national labor market data. It addresses the following questions:

  1. What are the current employment levels across major industry groups? How do they compare at each level of aggregation?
  2. Which industries are projected to exhibit the greatest job growth in the near future?
  3. Which CTE career clusters have programs that align with the most high-growth, high-wage occupations?
