These 10-year forecasts, which are updated every other year, are intended to help individuals make informed education and career decisions and assist educators and training providers in planning for future needs.

• Measures of education and training
• Employment prospects
• Comparison of New York State and U.S. occupational growth rates

Industry and occupational employment projections are estimates of expected future employment levels and growth rates. These projections contain a degree of uncertainty, as it is impossible to predict with precision future developments that may impact the labor market such as economic shocks or new technologies. Projections are updated every other year to incorporate new data and developments, among other updates. To assess future employment trends, we suggest focusing on the direction and relative size of projected changes, rather than on the precise value estimates.
