During the years 2004 and 2005, more than 2,900 new jobs will be created annually in the Middle Georgia Area. In addition to these job openings arising from employment growth, openings will also arise from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, die, or leave the labor
force permanently for other reasons. This is important because over the next two years job openings resulting from replacement needs will exceed those resulting from growth in many occupations. It is expected that almost 2,900 additional job openings per year will result from the need to replace workers who leave during this period.
This brochure lists the jobs expected to be in the highest demand over the next two years in this area. Each table shows the top ten jobs expected to have the most annual openings by the level of education
and training usually required for employment. Annual openings are split into those resulting from growth (new positions) and those resulting
from replacements.
Area wages from the 2004 Georgia Wage Survey are also shown for each occupation. All wages are
hourly, except that annual wages are shown for the few occupations in which the number of hours typically worked in a year is less that 2,080.
