Educational Requirements of Tomorrow's Jobs
Projections based on state and national trends indicate that most new jobs in RI in coming years will require a high school diploma or less. New jobs for workers at any education level are certainly welcome. However, these projections are not set in stone. It is possible for the state's educational pipeline to influence growth of higher-skilled, higher-wage jobs, since a workforce with the right education can encourage employers to start up, relocate, or grow here.
