COMPLETIONS The number of people who earned either an Associate’s degree or an academic certificate related to the specified occupational group during the year indicated. Completions used within this context represent the supply of newly created workers by the regional education providers for an occupation and, when compared with estimated annual job openings, provides an estimate of the labor supply created within the year compared to the estimated labor demand for a given occupational group as defined for the Finger Lakes region.

Occupational wage estimates also affected by county-level EMSI earnings by industry. WAGES Wages refer to the hourly earnings, excluding benefits, of a worker in an occupation. By default we display the median, which is in the middle of the wage distribution for each occupation; half of the workers make more, half of them make less. Percentile wages can be accessed in MCC Career Coach by clicking any of the adjacent links listed under the “Occupations” column. The “Totals” row contains the average for the median wage at each percentile level, which is used in the construction of the aggregate wage curve for the occupational group.
