The eighth annual study of occupational opportunities in Nebraska is based on a 5 percent random sample of employers in each of the six Technical Community College Areas in the State. A computerized straight line projection technique was used to project total employment, need over the next 12 months, reason for need, and need over the next two years. Table 1 summarizes total projected employment and future need by occupational category. Tables 2 through 11 provide total projected employment figures at the State level and list future need and appropriate Vocational Instructional Training Programs for each occupation within the 10 occupational categories for each of the Technical Community College Areas. Tables 12 through 21 provide total projected employment figures for the State and projected need from expansion or turnover over the next 12 months for the broad occupational divisions within the 10 occupational categories for each of the Technical Community College Areas. Tables 22 through 29 project employment figures over the next 12 months and the next two years for the seven major instructional areas of vocational education. Table 30 similarly projects employment figures for all other occupations not covered by Vocational Instructional Training Programs or Dictionary of Occupational Title numbers. (JR)
