Washington employment projections continue to show strong demand for workers with postsecondary education. Nearly 70 percent of all projected job openings require at least some education beyond high school, with two-thirds requiring midlevel education or higher. As businesses, industries, and workplaces become increasingly complex, employers need workers with skills and education that allow them to adapt and excel in evolving environments. This report has three primary purposes: (1) to provide an overview of the current status of workforce preparation in Washington, (2) to identify high employer demand occupations, as well as fields in which academic degree production may be failing to keep pace with demand, and (3) to highlight occupation fields in which students may find expanding employment opportunities. This report focuses on projected workforce needs for the period from 2022 to 2027. [This report was co-produced by Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.]
