Projections of Employment by Industry and Occupation
Projections of Employment estimate the changes in industry and occupational employment over time resulting from industry growth, technological change, and other factors. California produces long-term (10 year) projections of employment every 2 years for the State and local areas. Statewide short-term (2 year) projections are revised annually.The files below contain all of the data for a single area. To extract data for selected occupations or areas, use the Occupational Projections Data Search Tool.
California Community Colleges should go to Job Outlook for Occupational Education Programs for occupational projections by Taxonomy of Programs or Classification of Instructional Programs code.
