* The 47 annual regional completions represent a supply of 42.7 % new EET trained workers produced locally against an estimated annual demand of 110 openings.

** This suggests that in this occupational group, about 57.3 % of EET-related jobs may go unfilled each year in the region due to an insufficient number of graduates produced locally.

10-year aging out projection: 18.9 % are approaching retirement age

2013 TOTAL WORKFORCE 4,033 EET Workers
