Monroe Community College Program Based Economic Impact Analysis, January 2015

Appendix B: Occupations Associated with Educational Programs

The earnings data forecasted in this report are directly tied to the occupations that MCC alumni are presumed to have entered after receiving their degree or certificate. The tables in this section display the occupations that MCC linked to the MCC edu- cational programs. Each table contains the following information, SOC code, job title, the number of 2014 regional jobs, regional median hourly earnings, and the average annual job openings forecasted by EMSI between 2014 and 2018. Average annual openings include both new job growth and turnover job replace-

ments, making it a more comprehensive figure than net new job growth. To select these occupations EMSI started with its default program to occupation mappings, which are derived from the CIP-to-SOC crosswalk published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Cen- ter for Educational Statistics. The default mappings were modified to fit MCC through a process including input from College faculty and local business and industry to better reflect the hiring patterns of the Finger Lakes regional economy.
