Introduction

In the next decade, technological advances in the workplace, developments in business, governmental and educational institutions and changes in the economy will reshape Georgia's labor market. The state continues to experience substantial population growth. Industries are constantly being re-engineered and reconfigured. These changes ultimately affect the occupational profile. Demand and skill requirements for various occupations will change as modifications are made in industries and in the general economic make-up of Georgia.
The need for employees in an occupation depends greatly on the demand for goods and services provided by those workers. For example, increased use of computers over the last 20 years has led to a vast increase in computer-related jobs. Alternately, some advancements in technology have led to substantial decreases in employment in, and, in some cases, elimination of various occupations. For these reasons, employment projections are valuable tools in assessing job demands in the future.

Employment projections data estimate future employment needs; that is, they indicate which industries and occupations will grow, decline or remain at constant levels of employment. These projections are a critical tool in planning efficient and timely educational and training programs, in career counseling services, in making personnel decisions, in business market research and in developing government policy. This publication is designed as a guide for economic developers, employers, employment counselors, educational course planners, students and workers thinking of changing careers.
Included are employment estimates of nonfarm wage and salary, agricultural, selfemployed, private household and unpaid family workers for 1996 and 2006. These projections are based on studies of economic growth, updated industry patterns and technological changes. For this reason, this publication replaces all projections data previously released by the Georgia Department of Labor.

Industry Employment: 1996 - 2006

Employment in Georgia is projected to increase by more than one million jobs in the next ten years. The fastest projected growth and largest projected increase in employment will be in the services sector, where a 43.6 percent gain is projected (Figure 1A). This amounts to more than 644,400 jobs, or more than six out of every ten jobs created by employment growth between 1996 - 2006 (Figure 1B). Employment has been progressively shifting from goods-producing to service-producing industries. This trend is expected to continue.

The only other industry division projected to match the overall Georgia job growth rate of 26.5 percent is the retail trade division, where a 27.3 percent increase is projected, or more than 179,400 jobs. All other major industry divisions, except mining, where employment opportunities are expected to decline, are projected to have positive, though below-average growth. Table 1 below provides data on employment estimates for the eleven major industry divisions.

Table 2 shows industry employment estimates at the two-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) level of detail. Four of the top five fastest growing detailed industries are in the services division, along with ten out of the top twenty (Figure 2).

Nine industries are projected to lose jobs, the most significant by far being the combined projected loss of nearly 18,000 jobs in the apparel and textile manufacturing industries, due in large measure to foreign competition.

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing

Mining

The bulk of employment in the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector lies in agriculture production (livestock and crops) and services. While employment in agriculture production is expected to remain relatively constant, agricultural services is projected to add more than 9,000 jobs between 1996 and 2006. This increase makes up almost all of the growth expected in the sector as a whole.

Mining employment in Georgia has been steadily decreasing throughout the years. Kaolin, one of the last products being mined in the state, is now being mined in South America at a much lower cost. Employment in this sector is expected to remain constant or experience a slight decrease.

5

Construction

Manufacturing

Employment in the construction industry is expected to grow by more than 20,000 over the next 10 years. The majority of this growth will come in special trades. Within special trades, plumbing, electric and concrete work are expected to add the most new jobs. Residential and nonresidential building construction are expected to increase in employment by more than 10 percent.

The manufacturing sector is expected to add over 25,000 new jobs in Georgia between 1996 and 2006. Areas within this sector which are expected to experience notable growth are lumber and wood products (particularly millwork and plywood products), industrial machinery and equipment (particularly metalworking machinery and general industrial machinery), food and kindred products

Transportation, Communications and Public Utilities

Finance, Insurance and Real Estate
All sectors of finance, insurance and real estate are expected to show moderate growth over the next 10 years. Most of the new jobs will be in nondepository institutions, such as business credit institutions and mortgage bankers and brokers, insurance agencies and real estate.
Services

The transportation sector is expected to increase by more than 25 percent over the next 10 years, adding 40,000 new jobs. Most of the increase will be in trucking, warehousing and air transportation. Communications should add a substantial number of jobs, mainly in telephone communications and in cable and other pay TV services. The public utilities sector is expected to grow slightly due to population growth in the state.

Employment in the services sector is expected to increase by almost 650,000 jobs, a growth of nearly 5 percent a year. Business services, such as personnel supply services and computer and data processing services, will add the most new jobs, followed by health and then educational services. Social services and engineering and management services should also experience substantial growth, as will self employment.

Trade

Government

Wholesale trade along with its two sub units, durable and nondurable goods, is expected to increase by a little over 16 percent from 1996 to 2006. Retail trade, however, should grow by close to 30 percent. All major retail areas are expected to experience double-digit growth, building materials and garden supply stores being the highest at nearly 50 percent. Food stores and eating and drinking places are expected to add the most new jobs, at 29,000 and 74,000 respectively.

Local government employment is projected to increase the most over the next 10 years, while employment in state government is expected to remain relatively stable. Federal employment in Georgia will also remain close to its current level or may experience a slight decrease.

Occupational Employment: 1996 - 2006

Occupational diversity in the labor market is a product of technological and scientific advancements, societal needs, commercial and legislative developments, population growth and many other factors. Occupational demand stems from the need for goods and services. Occupational diversity and demand are not stagnant. They are constantly changing globally, and, in planning a career, an individual should consider what occupational demand may be like in the future.
Another consideration in career planning is the educational level required in order to perform in particular jobs. The number of occupations which require education past high school is rising. Most occupations which are increasing require a minimum of two years of education or training past high school. Many require three or more years of training or a college degree.
Almost all computer and other technology related jobs will experience high growth

rates from 1996 to 2006. But better technology alone is not enough. Although it is important, management of technology is more important. People are needed who can deploy, integrate and market new and existing technology.
Health and educational services jobs are steadily increasing in Georgia as a result of rapidly expanding population. The increase in health-related occupations is also a function of the aging population as babyboomers begin reaching retirement age.
Table 3 below reports estimated employment for 1996 and projected employment for 2006 for all major occupational categories. All are expected to increase over the 10-year period, with Professional Specialty Occupations adding the most new jobs and Agriculture and Related adding the fewest. Subsequent sections show the occupational divisions in much greater detail, along with their projections statistics.

Professional Speciality
Occupations
The professional specialty occupations category should surpass one million in employment by the year 2006, an increase of nearly 38 percent. Major players in this category include accountants and auditors, which should increase by more that 7,600 new jobs. Several computer-related jobs, such as computer engineers, will grow by close to 7,000 jobs.

Systems analysts are expected to add more that 20,000 in employment. Computer programmers may increase by 9,000. Occupations in the educational and health services fields will add many jobs. Elementary and secondary school teachers and registered nurses are expected to experience large increases.

add the most jobs are retail sales and cashier positions. Business and science sales agents will grow moderately, as will sales floor stock clerk positions. See Table 6 below for more information.

Administrative Support Occupations

Most occupations within the realm of administrative support will see growth in the future, however many will decline due to technological advancements. Automation and on-line features have and will continue to reduce the need for bank tellers, credit authorizers and transit clerks. Advancements in the computer industry have lessened the demand for electronic data processing equipment operators, data entry keyers and computer opera-

tors. Communications will see a decrease in directory assistance and telegraph and teletype operators jobs. The number of welfare eligibility workers should decline as welfare-to-work initiatives are put into place. Increases will be seen in population-driven jobs such as insurance-related jobs and court, license and municipal clerk positions. Secretarial and general office occupations will also increase considerably in the future.

Precision Production, Craft and Repair Occupations

Table 10 details occupations in the precision production, craft and repair areas. This category as a whole is expected to grow less than the total for all occupations, and some occupations within this category, especially those having to do with apparel manufacturing, will de-

crease in number in the future. Most supervisory jobs will increase, as will most mechanics and repairer occupations. Construction-related and precision jobs such as wood and metal workers will increase overall.

Operators, Fabricators and Laborers
Operators, fabricators and laborers occupations are not expected to increase greatly. Most will remain relatively stable with only slight increases or declines. Some occupations in this category, however, will exhibit considerable growth. These are heavy and light truck

drivers, bus drivers, driver and sales workers and industrial truck and tractor operators. Hand packers and packagers should also increase steadily in the future. The table below shows operator, fabricator and laborer jobs in greater detail.

Annual Openings

Average annual openings are estimated for occupations, and all with projected annual openings of five or more are listed in the table below, ranked in order of total annual openings. Total openings are the sum of annual openings due to growth and replacements. Where annual growth openings are negative, they are treated as a value of zero in the calculation of total annual openings, so that negative growth will not affect replacement openings.
Openings due to growth create the majority in only the fastest growing occupations. Average annual growth is determined by taking the difference between unrounded employment in 1996 and 2006, and dividing by the 10 year period.

In the majority of occupations, replacement needs provide more openings than do growth. Replacement openings occur when workers change occupations or careers, retire or leave the labor force for any reason. If an individual changes to a new job within the same occupation, that change would not be considered a replacement. The replacement need for an occupation is calculated by multiplying the replacement rate, which is calculated by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the midpoint employment between 1996 and 2006.

Methodology

The development of occupational projections consisted of the use of data compiled from several sources and the MicroMatrix software system developed by the Utah Projections Service Center.
Data collected in the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) staffing patterns survey of selected employers for 1993, 1994 and 1995 were used, along with the 1987-1996 average annual employment by industry data collected from the ES-202 unit. The ES-202 data were derived from employment reported by firms covered under Georgia's unemployment insurance law. Data from the decennial census, current population survey, current employment survey and other surveys also were used.
After the data were collected, industry projections were developed using linear regression analysis and shift-share models. A panel of economists and other experts from universities, private industry and federal and state governments reviewed the projections. Adjustments were made when appropriate.

In the final phase, an industry/occupation matrix was developed using the MicroMatrix system and the input stated above. A 1996 base matrix was produced and a 2006 projected-year matrix was then developed by applying national change factors to the base-year matrix. Occupational projections were produced by applying occupational staffing patterns to the industry projections.

Assumptions and Data Limitations

These projections are not intended to be precise measurements of future employment levels but should provide an indication of the direction and extent of employment change over the projected period. Constantly changing economic and labor market conditions limit the accuracy of any forecasts, no matter how thorough the data or how sophisticated the statistical techniques used.
Since occupational data are taken from surveys, the 1996 occupational employment is merely an estimate. Exact base year employment levels for industries and occupations are uncertain.

The industry and occupational projections do not account for short-term cyclical fluctuations in the economy or for recessionary periods. It is assumed that there will be no major wars, serious natural disasters or other major economic shocks during the projected period.
Average annual openings data reported in this publication may not equal actual job openings in any particular year within the projected period because they represent an average and do not reflect fluctuations in occupational demand due to economic conditions.
