Occupations in Demand 671.1:OD

In 2018, the Labor Market Information Department of the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, published reports on "Occupations in Demand" at the state and Workforce Development Area (WDA) levels. The reports provide an analysis of annual demand, which includes both new and replacement workers, to highlight occupations with the highest need for workers. Tables show selected occupations sorted by annual demand, by average wages paid, and by job zone. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History has electronic (PDF) copies of the state and Delta, Mississippi Partnership, Southcentral Mississippi Works, and Twin Districts WDAs' 2018 reports.
