* AO: All others, occupations that are not being included
in other occupational classifications
**On-the-Job
Training is classified as Shrt/trm (Short-term), Mod/trm (Moderate-term)
and Long/trm (Long-term)
***
Occupations that are projected with a large number of openings
for one of the WDAs are designated with either (Milw) or (WOW);
(projections on growth, annual openings and wage information
will apply to that WDA only)
****
When information was not available for both WDAs, numbers
are marked by (WOW) or (Milw) to indicate figures are only
for that WDA
*****
The list excludes those occupations which typically require
training and education beyond a bachelor's degree.
