* The 12 annual regional completions represent a supply of 14.8 % new millwright trained workers produced locally against an estimated annual demand of 81 openings.

10-year aging out projection: 23.6 % are approaching retirement age

** This suggests that in this occupational group, about 85.2 % of millwright-related jobs may go unfilled each year in the region due to an insufficient number of graduates produced locally.
