To achieve this analysis, the current level of educational achievement of Area residents was directly compared to the typical entry level of education required by newly created jobs projected to develop between 2018 and 2028. The chart Gap for “Skills Newly Created Jobs by 2028” follows the analysis and illustrates the educational gap identified. The Area is expected to experience a nearly 18 percentage point skill gap by 2028. Overall, to meet the projected developing needs of employers for newly created jobs, 67.6% of the workforce must possess an education above a high school diploma through postsecondary education including credentials, certificates or degrees. Current attainment at those levels is estimated at 51.0% -- 17.6 percentage points below anticipated requirements.
